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.

Determined to create a repertoire of individually portioned meals that were easy to prepare and appetizing, I set out to do so. 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.

Rabbits convert feed into meat more efficiently than almost any other livestock. When people think about sustainable food, their minds usually jump to backyard chickens, vegetable gardens, or maybe a small herd of goats. But there’s another animal that often gets overlooked—rabbits. And if you’ve got a little bit of grass and some local hay, you might be sitting on one of the most eco-friendly, self-sufficient food sources around. Rabbits produce a steady supply of manure that can go straight into your garden without composting first. It won’t burn your plants and is full of nutrients. This turns your yard into a kind of closed-loop system: your garden helps feed your rabbits, and your rabbits help feed your garden.
