I'm tired of Thai food everyday, they won't eat what I cook, and I'm not eating what they eat, so back to cooking for one for me! They'll eat what I cook once in a while, but not often. Want to try cooking good this time around though, but who wants to cook for example, a nice chicken pasta, with lemon fried rice, and broiled potatoes for one? I love cooking, but I'm not making nice meals like that just for me.
Here's the best I can come up with, and see how it goes. Bought a couple tupperwares, each of which has 9 compartments. One is reserved for chopped up fresh stuff (peppers, onions, garlic, mushrooms, olives, shredded cheeses, etc.). Other is for sauces (salsa, guacamole, sour cream, thousand island dressing, etc.), plus seasoning (fajita, taco, burrito, steak spice, etc.).
Then bought a bunch of meat (chicken, ground beef, steak, pork, lamb, etc.), and put it in individual ziploc bags in the freezer. Then breads -- tortillas, taco shells, pita breads, etc.
This way I figure I can cook a decent meal that's semi-healthy for one easily within 15 - 20 mins. Quesadilla, fajita, taco, soulvaki, gyros, whatever... all veggies, sauces and seasoning are ready to go. Maybe throw in some lemon fried rice, a potato, or salad, and I have a good meal. I figure I'll have loads of different options this way, and it'll take a while to get bored of the food. Let's see how long it lasts though.
Any other tips for cooking good meals for one? Or do the majority who eat for one here just order up pizza online, then complain on the internet over a $0.80 vs. $2.50 tip while shoving your face?
