Love your recipes and your love for food. My kids are a couple years older than yours, 2 boys who are budding athletes. They are skinny and have started lifting weights and would like to eat to gain muscle. Their moms would like to be supportive and yet not gain ourselves. Do you have recommendations for family meal planning?

Hello!
I love your recipes and blog. I’ve turned my kids into your site and they know to check there first when looking for a recipe.
What is the single burner eye you use on your counter top? I have a need for these at school.
Thank you!

In reply to Katie. There are two approaches: 1. Of course, cut all recipes down in half or quarters. It's helful to know that half a 9x13-inch pan is roughly the same as an 8-inch square; half of that might fit in the bottom of a loaf pan or toaster tray. 2. Or you can make whole amounts and get great at freezing individual portions. Once a lasagna, for example is cool, you can cut it into portions and wrap them well and have your meals all ready. Soup or a stew might go in quart bags with the air pressed out.

Hello! I have read allll the FAQs and the recipe index and so I am hoping I have not missed something obvious somewhere. I was wondering if you had advice/recipes/tools for eating your food as a solo person. I’d love to try desserts, for example, but only need 1-2 servings. It would be amazing if there was a category for this in the index, or perhaps an advice page for how to cut recipes down to a single or double serving. If the answer is “do all the maths yourself, Katie!” then I will humbly take it, but I wanted to check. Thanks for all your work, and your thorough recipe index in particular. :)

Will you please add a function to save favorite recipes? I currently have to save them to Pinterest but would prefer just to come to your site and find them.
Thanks for considering this. I know I not alone in hoping for this to happen.

Do many of the recipes include non kosher mixtures or ingredients?

I just bought Smitten Kitchen Keepers on Amazon. Pages 31-46 are upside down and backwards. You may want to check with your publisher. I’m not sure if all copies have that issue or if I’m the lucky one.

Hi! My wife is a super fan of all your recipes and teachings and I’m a super fan of eating it all! She really wants a signed copy of your new book Smitten Kitchen Keepers. Is it possible to purchase a signed copy? Thank you!
