I’m widowed, and my daughter is grown, but I still love to cook and want my meals to be not only tasty but also aesthetically pleasing. However, after becoming an empty nester, I found it increasingly challenging to prepare appetizing meals in smaller portions.

This list includes recipes that I have tried and found to be delicious, as well as other ideas, tools, and small appliances that contribute to making a table for one easier, tasteful, and more beautiful.
