I tend to walk a fine line between going by the recipe and doing what I want. Even when I weigh ingredients - it's a bit over? That'll be fine. An ingredient I don't like? Let's leave it out or substitute it with something that I do like. And when it comes to garlic I might leave it out or go straight ahead and double the amount depending on my mood. Or anything in between. :D
And I think the only reason I try to stick to recipes is because I try not to eat it all in one go or have leftovers for multiple days. Especially if my freezer is already full. Although since the pandemic I've stopped going out for lunch at work (and if it's just to the local grocery store) and brought my own which does make it easier to deal with leftovers as well as I can just plan and pack anything for work. I find it really hard to cook for just one person.
