Since I live alone, I hate cooking for just myself. Too much time, pots/pans to clean. To cook yourself a good meal is not much less in cost than going to your Mom and Pop restaraunt. So I have been doing that till now (for reason dont want to go into) Dont eat breakfast or lunch....So I eat very simple single meal....pork and beans with summer sausage, frozen meatballs spaghetti sauce over can of corn and peas...If I cook may be just a couple pieces of fish baked. Meatballs with some chef boyardee...hard boiled eggs, tuna sandwich...cottage cheese with fruit....oh yeah a culinary “single guy” smorgasborg! But works for me and cheap!
I agree it’s no fun to cook for one. But that is one sad menu. I feel bad for you. Can’t you squeeze in a few fresh veggies? They cook in the microwave in just a few minutes. Use paper bowls to save on cleanup.
