What do you eat when you eat alone?

But, my kids won't eat it. *sigh*
broccoli too
Don't need to steam them if you don't want
my gf has taught me that the only thing getting in the way of stir frying a vegetable is basically fear of the unknown. ive never had it not taste great.
maybe....sweet potato? Normal potato is great chopped up small enough
To simplifly things, I usually cook a bunch of chicken beforehand so I can pull it out as I need it and slice it up.
I'd definitely like to try to make more interesting things but I'm working two jobs right now and don't really have the energy or money to try new things atm.
because i keep thinking of doing it but i never do
In my experience, I can only do something like this if I'm, like, shredding a breast and making chicken salad, or putting cubes of it on a salad, or something like that. White meat chicken's already far too dry for me, but every time I've tried to store it after cooking it tastes like cardboard within a day. For short storage (2-3 days tops) I just use some tupperware, but for longer durations I'll wrap a single breast in a paper towel sheet, then some aluminum, stick a bunch of the little packages in some tupperware and freeze them, and that lasts for a month.
But, like I said, dryness and all. If you can tolerate that, you're good.
Edit: This applies to boiled breasts and baked breasts, I haven't tried storing grilled breasts.
Lunch - 1 can off tuna mixed with Newman's Own Peach Salsa, served on 2 slices of bread open face and topped with a little cottage cheese. Or Chicken Breast with fruit.
Dinner - 1 cup of raw oats and 2-3 scoops chocolate whey protein mixed with light vanilla soy milk.
Snacks are protein shakes, energy drinks (low/no sugar carb), Fruit, and Natural PB.
For chicken, I usually buy frozen bags from meijers, thaw them, and stick them in a zip lock bag for 2 or 3 days with some sort of light salad dressing (Newman's Own Sun Dried Tomato is my fav for now). Then just broil them in the oven slightly undercooked so when I microwave them later I don't dry them out.
Ive done that Newman's peach salsa-and-tuna sandwich thing, actually.
But I toast the bread cause I like crunch.
i need to be like that
though i could stand for a more exciting dinner
I guess when I'm alone cereal more often happens at like, 3am.
So many chicken nuggets. Probably with a side of rice.
Kraft dinner . . . and usually with whatever leftovers I was supposed to be eating (like half a leftover turkey once) thrown into it.
But that's in the past year since giving up potato chips. They were a serious addiction that I would only eat when I was alone. And I'd eat a lot of them. But I don't eat them at all anymore with the exception of parties - I'll munch 'em responsibly.
No no. Just the one. She's terrific though.
But really, when I'm alone I make some vegetable nachos, crack open a cold coca-cola and watch C-Span.
Oh yeah.
Anyway, mmmm, nachos.
Regular or diet?
Because if it's diet that sounds like a pretty decent evening to me.
Man what
diet
ahaha
yeck
If he's eating off tuna I wouldn't say that's very healthy.

The rare times I do eat out, I go to good restaurants. Even alone. It's definitely worth the cost. Nutrition is obviously the most important, but great taste makes it fun. There's so much depth in the world of cuisine, I've not even begun to scratch the surface.
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
If I have a guest though, then out comes the Pasta (I make a kickass sauce),thai dishes,steaks,etc. (real food).
* For the poutine connoisseurs out there, yes, I do know that REAL poutine uses cheese curds, not just shredded mozzarella,but I simply don't care.
Cooking for yourself is cheap and I happen to be humiliatingly poor at the moment. It's also fun. And healthy, sometimes. The bacon cheeseburgers I grilled last week, not so much.
Come to think of it, cooking for myself and cooking for other people is almost exactly the same, except I don't get any leftovers for the next two days when I cook for other people.
show me the foothold from which I can climb
yeah, when I feel low
you show me a signpost for where I should go
oh fuck something just happened to my back ow ow ow
