Good recipes when cooking for one?

collegejoey: Good recipes when cooking for one?
I’m a college student, and live by myself. I’m a good cook, but it’s just so hard to cook portions for one. I hate to waste food so I end up rarely cooking anything. I want to be healthy and eating out and fast food just isn’t the way to do it. So I want to start cooking for myself again. Does anyone know any recipes that are good for one person, doesn’t have to be too quick and easy. Thanks!

When I lived alone and shopped on a budget right after college, the freezer used to be my best friend! I would buy the smallest portions of meats and put one portion in the refrigerator and freeze the rest seperately in freezer bags. It’s great to have hamburgers because you can form them before you put them in the freezer. Then you just thaw them and it’s ready to go. I also used to cut recipes in half or in fourth (this works great with almost any pasta dish) Another thing I did was to find recipes that only made two portions and take the second portion for lunch at work. Good luck!

When I lived alone, the secret was to make left-overs.
Start with a batch of spaghetti sauce, right out of the can.
Add onions, garlic, mushrooms, peppers, whatever you like.
Serve it over pasta with cut up sausage the first night.
Turn it into meat sauce & make a small lasagna to keep.
Bake a pork-chop, chicken leg, or spare-ribs in it BBQ style.
Turn it into chili with a can of kidney beans & spices.
Serve the chili over rice, with mixed veggies stirred in.
Get those bags of mixed salad greens & add veggies.

You can buy frozen individual entrees and add a side veggie or salad as you like. Otherwise just buy small quantities of everything, as I do for 2 people. If you have a freezer compartment, divide in half for another day.
