“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.

I can easily relate to cooking for one. I section and freeze meats, including sandwich meats. I also found Instant coffee jars work wonderful for freezing chili, hot sausage and peppers and various other cooked meals. A crock pot is my friend.

The only frozen dinners I've found eatable are Stoffers Stuffed Peppers. I can't count the number of frozen dinners I've thrown out...they're really nasty!
