Buy and cook smaller portions. Or, cook for two and eat it twice.
What's hard about that? Granted, roasts and pot roasts and
braises/stews may most conveniently be made in larger quantities which
will then need to be frozen, but that still leaves a lot that can be
sized appropriately. Chops, steaks, chicken pieces. Certainly veggies
and salads.

Maybe if you were more specific about how you waste food you'd get
better advice. -aem
