Tips & Tricks

When it's just the two of you, don't cop out and hit the fast food lane or restaurant.  It's the perfect opportunity to cook what you both like and enjoy.

A few hints to help:

  • Set the time aside for dinner.  Without a family setting the pace and schedule, dinner for two is often easy to skip or hurry.  Set the appointed time -- and keep it.
  • Make it easy to cook together by investing in two cutting boards and some good knives.
  • Slow down.  Cooking for two can be relaxing!
  • Take time for dessert.  Make something that will freeze -- like ginger cookies -- then freeze unused portions for another evening.  Serve with a scoop of cinnamon ice cream for a delightfully simple end to your dinner -- and your day.
