I agree with other commenters that this has a nice taste. While I know I can freeze leftovers, I live alone and my freezer is a typical apartment sized freezer and doesn't hold much. It would be helpful if the volume this makes were smaller. Before telling me to do the math; I'm entering stage 5 renal failure and cooking anything is a major effort. Reconstructing recipes is a little too much for me to have to do now...just cooking anything is an accomplishment so help would be greatly appreciated.

I love the recipes offered here by DaVita. However, like many of them, they make 6, 8 or more servings. For those of us who live alone, it would be extremely helpful if you created the option to change the number of servings, such as is done at the following recipe websites: food.com allrecipes.com Something to think about! Thank you, Carolyn Burby
