Well I’ve never been into cooking either, preferring baking, at least the mess is worth it as pastries etc. last well past the kitchen time.

I’m always up for trying frozen meals, most are truly bad but Aldies has frozen bacon wrapped scallops which are simply fabulous! when they have them I buy every box in the freezer! HAHAHA!

Your one pot/pan cooking is right up my aisle!

“Your one pot/pan cooking is right up my aisle!”

Since I’m only cooking for myself it just isn’t worth the cleanup anymore. If it weren’t for crock pot liners I would probably put mine in the back of the cabinet.
I do.make a little mess when I make chicken salad but I make enough to last a week so the mess to food duration works out. The same when I cook burgers. I use the crock pot to cook three pounds of ground beef at a time. I will use 1/3 immediately then divide the rest in half and put that in the freezer for future use.

I love pot pies but every one I’ve tried has too much salt, it’s the dominant taste. Since I’ve been on a salt free diet most of the frozen dinners are out, even if they tasted better.
I do get fish and chicken patties from the freezer. Frozen pizzas aren’t bad so I keep a couple on hand.
When cooking for one simplicity is the rule.
