Welcome to I Cook For Two! My name is Mary and I love to eat, cook and create simple yet delicious small batch recipes that are designed for two people.
With over 35 years of cooking experience and over 20 years of recipe development I share recipes that are loved by my own family and friends. But now that there are just two of us left at home I have adapted my favorite recipes into smaller portions so we don’t have leftovers for days.
All of the recipes that you find here are ones that I have made over and over again and have been approved by myself, my husband, parents, grandparents, teenagers and even picky eating children.
I also develop and test recipes for Old World Garden Farms, a gardening, DIY, and cooking website that my husband and I created over 12 years ago. Here I focus on making recipes from the fresh ingredients from our garden along with classic comfort food recipes that remind us of our childhood.
In addition, I also develop and share recipes that are designed to feed a family and share those on makeyourmeals.com. There you will find a variety of recipes including appetizers, soups, main dishes, side dishes, desserts and more that focus on easy to find, common ingredients that can be made by novice cooks but are elegant enough for seasoned chefs!
At I Cook For Two I share a new recipe 3 times per week to make meal planning in your own home easy and convenient.

You will find affiliate links to the products that I love (and truly use), which helps me pay for the cost of running this website without any additional cost to you!
