Hi Jodi-Ann, visited your site. Nice.
Do you have recipes for singles who want to prepare a glam meal for one or just to surprise someone special with a meal just for them?
I find that the portions in most recipes are too much and left-overs sometimes go to waste.
Do you have advice on clever shopping to keep the glam meals going?
I’m absolutely bored with my current dinner choices.
Hi Erica
I’ve asked Jodi-Ann’s team to pass on this question and hopefully we’ll have some single meal deals coming your way sooner rather than later!
Beth, thanks. You beat me to it. 🙂 Looking forward to the response and happy cooking. 🙂
