    Recipes for one?

    Due to recent events, I'm now living alone, which is a bugger for my eating habits.

    I like to cook fresh and hearty meals, as often as possible, but I'm having difficulty halving my portion sizes when I cook stuff like chilli is causing really unnecessary wasteage and therefore expense. It's getting to the point where I'd rather not eat than waste my money by throwing half my food away

    So, can anybody suggest or recommended any good recipes for a lonely bachelor? Or are there any singletons in the Wakefield area who want to come and eat my home cooking(j/k...but not...)?

    Unfortunately I don't really have access to a freezer Plus the fact I don't really like reheated meals

    Its a nightmare isnt it??

    Im not often home enough to cook as much as I like to but I went through the same dilemma - especially as I HATE microwave food and I enjoy cooking.
    What I tend to do is buy things like fresh lasagne meals and things like that and freeze them then when Im at home I can cook them and do fresh veg and stuff with them. Or my other favourites are stir fry. I generally use enough meat and veg for two and eat as much of it as I can coz if I dont it will only go off in the fridge anyway. Whatever you have left can generally be refridgerated and used for lunch or dinner the next day.
    Either that or I live on cereal and toast!

    Hope that was of some help.

    Get someone else to cook for - it's the only way. Single cooking is demoralising in the extreme. Having to bake twice a week or less is an unthinkable thing and buying things like carrots one at a time is the pits. There's hordes of people out there who hate cooking; try and find one.(or more)

    If you are a good cook it shouldn't be a problem getting rid of food, most people eat crap and so even the poorest creation of a decent cook can be fobbed off to coworkers, plus you get loved for it, just don't give em food poisoning.

    Find a friend, or neighbour and give em the rest of your casserole, invite people round for lunch.
