Single Portion Meals

[newbroom]

I live alone and do my best not to eat prepared foods. Cooking anything usually results in my having several portions to deal with and that reality sometimes limits my fervor for the chore.
Lately I've been attempting to resolve the issue with experiments in single serving dishes,
Last evening, I made a single pancake. I know, who eats one pancake? Well, if it has one egg in it, it is quite satisfying,
This a.m. I've made single serving granola with a cast iron skillet, oats, butter, salt, brown sugar and a toaster oven.
Mixed it with some yogurt for a tasty breakfast. (I seem to favor breakfast foods)

I have a tiny cast iron pan that I have pulled out when I am occasionally the only one around, I find starting with a smaller pan or pot forces the serving size to stay sensible...

When I lived alone, I lived on breakfasts and lunches for this reason. Breakfast food does really well as a single serving. And a really nice sandwich is always welcome.

There are other types??

One pot dishes can often be modified to make as single serving. Many others as well, depends on how much effort you like to put into meals and if you enjoy the preparation and cooking. It’s therapy and fun for me and I prefer leftovers for a few days or to freeze.

I make a pot of chili or vegetable soup big enough for the five of us to eat on for a few days.?

Try something where the leftovers can be used in a second meal. That is how hash and biscuits and gravy were invented.

You can always make sandwiches using deli products.

good thing about chili or soup is you can always freeze portions as well..
so make a normal pot of chili.. divide it out into servings.. and freeze..
then you can pull it out and warm it up and you've got a meal later without cooking.
