Make your meal for one an event: Food isn’t only nutritious food for your body; and just because you’re eating alone doesn’t mean it has to be uneventful. Use your best plates and cutlery, pair with your favorite beverage and set the mood accordingly.
Celebrate the foods you love: Eating alone means you are in the fortunate exposition of only having yourself to please. If you want to have the same meal three days in a row, or add extra spice because you like things hot - do it!
Pre-plan: Making a meal plan for one, or using a meal delivery service such as Chefs Plate means you can prepare in advance, cutting down on personal food waste, time and expense.
