Hey there! I’m Emmy — solo cook, flavor chaser, and the hands (and heart) behind MealsForOneRecipes.com.
My full name’s longer, but “Emmy” is what my family calls me — especially when they’re angling for seconds. I’ve been stirring, searing, sautéing, and occasionally setting off the smoke alarm for years. But I’m not here to teach you how to feed a crowd. I’m here because you deserve amazing meals even when you’re cooking for one.
I created this space because I was tired of being told that good food only comes in bulk. If you’ve ever stared at a recipe that serves six and thought, “What am I supposed to do, freeze half and eat leftovers all week?” — trust me, you’re not alone.
💡 What You’ll Find Here
From One-Pot Dinners that are fast, flavorful, and fuss-free…
To solo-friendly breakfasts that don’t leave you with a sink full of dishes…
To Low-Carb & Keto Pots that are light on carbs but heavy on taste…
Everything here is made for one — with no waste, no guesswork, and no boring food.
Whether you’re living alone, cooking solo by choice, or just want a break from family-sized recipes, my goal is simple:
To help you cook food that feels like a treat, even if it’s just for you.
I believe cooking for yourself is a form of self-respect. It’s not sad — it’s empowering. And if you’ve ever made a one-pot pasta that made you smile mid-bite, you know exactly what I mean.
So pull up a chair, grab a fork, and explore. I’ve got one-person recipes that’ll warm your belly, brighten your day, and turn your kitchen into your favorite place to be.
