In a recent conversation with one of my nutrition coaching clients, he mentioned that it was sometimes frustrating to find a recipe, buy all the ingredients, and then find himself stuck with a bunch of extra raw ingredients left over and not know what to do with them. This is particularly true for singles living alone, or even couples.

A good example is buying a head of cauliflower and only needing a cup or two of florets in a recipe - how can you effectively make use of the rest of it, instead of it just wasting away in the fridge and eventually going in the bin? Sure, you could just make a big batch of the same thing, but few people enjoy eating the same thing for every lunch and dinner all week!

So - challenge accepted, I went with a list of ingredients my client provided and set out to make four different meals with them.
