Now that you've moved into your new house, it's time to get down to your "wifely duties". I would like to say that women aren't making the majority of the meals, but it's still a fact that female's do a lot of the cooking. Unfortunately the average recipe is created to serve 4 people, however there are plenty of helpful resources out there. Those, combined with my tips, will make cooking for 2 should as easy as pie.

• If the recipe serves 4 cut it in half exactly.
• If the recipe is too hard to cut in half, make the full recipe and freeze the leftovers to eat at a later time or have them for lunch the following day.
• When making full recipes that are too much for you and your partner to finish eating, creatively use the leftovers to make a new dish with other flavors. Leftover spiced chicken can be tossed into a stir fry or quesadilla. Leftover grilled steak is great in a sandwich or piled on top of greens.

Serve the watermelon punch in a pitcher because it will be easier to pour while playing games. Also be sure to pour the drinks in to real glasses (you registered for them so might as well use them!). A nice, light red - such as Beaujolais - or a crisp white unoaked Chardonnay will pair nicely with the pizzas. For those who do not drink alcohol, sparkling water on the rocks spiked with fresh watermelon puree and slices of cucumber or mint makes a festive and refreshing mocktail. You'll find the player's punch recipe after the break, so read more
