Aww Julie this is an awesome idea for a blog! Wedding present for all new wives :) I have to say-I'm having a hard time mastering the concept of cooking for just 2 people-I'm used to cooking with my mom for my family!! Needless to say we have plenty of leftovers that I've either 1-had to become creative or 2-learned to freeze it!
