Yes, you can divide an egg in half—just lightly whisk it, weigh it, and scoop out half the mass.

From New Zealand celebrity chef Annabel Langbein. 

This recipe makes enough pastry for two large tarts, so you can pop the unused pastry in the freezer or fridge for another day.

The Nutella-like spread can also be made with almonds or other nuts. 

This recipe makes about three cups of the chocolate-hazelnut butter. One cup will be used for the tarts, and the remaining mixture will keep for several weeks in a sealed jar in the fridge.

Open bags lead to saddlebags! We all know we are going to keep reaching into a bag of snacks or treats and eat well beyond an individual portion.  Here's an idea: Repackage bulk snacks like almonds or whole grain crackers into appropriate serving sizes.  You can use cupboard size storage bins to store them in. It will be well worth the extra minutes it takes to divide them up when you come home from the grocery store!
