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!

How did we ever think frozen (tv) dinners were good back in the day? Who would have ever thought that a surplus of frozen turkeys would lead to the TV dinner?

I don’t even try any frozen meals anymore. They taste terrible and the sodium content sends my BP to the moon.

My wife used to make the best chili beans and spaghetti in a five gallon pot she had. With family and the kids friends around that five gallon pot never lasted more than two days.
Her spaghetti sauce she made from scratch, it took her hours.
Unfortunately she never wrote down any of her recipes, always meaning to do it later. Unfortunately...later caught up with us.

I have peppers in the freezer now. Red, green and yellow bell peppers, banana peppers and for the first time jalapenos.
