A big bowl of popcorn made in a pot on the stove topped with lots of melted butter and salt. Not very sexy, but ooooh so good. And the whole bowl all to myself!

Smoked Spanish hot paprika has been showing up in all kinds of dishes that I prepare, from savory to sweet, including chicken-filled appetizer pies and black beans and rice to chocolate zucchini cake and sweet biscotti. It's the new "secret ingredient" that I love to play with.
If I'm being a good girl, chicken or beef w/ stir fry veggies & Soy Vay Teriyaki sauce with basmati rice... if I'm eating whatever I want, it could be cereal, grits and eggs, cheese toast w/ some kind of soup or just ice cream. Yummy yum!
I am very fortunate to already own this fantastic book. If by random selection my comment is selected, please select another SE fan so they too can enjoy her book. Being single, it is rare NOT to eat alone. My most enjoyable meal is breakfast. The simple poached egg & oatmeal quietly eaten before I'm out the door to start my day.
i make big pots of food that'll last me a few days. during the winter, its chicken and rice soup. yesterday it was beef stir-fry. basically anything that will feed me for a few days on 11 or 12 dollars.
Jacket Potato: Heinz English Beans on a Baked Potato topped with Cojack Cheese
I eat leftovers or something with cheese. My boyfriend has a cheese-phobia so when I'm alone it's always a good time for me to divulge my senses in all that is cheesy goodness =)
when it's in season, a steamed artichoke! With melted butter for dipping. it's the perfect "food for one."

A few year's back, I tried Crescent Dragonwagon's recipe for Garlic Spaghetti. It's perfect for eating alone with a small salad or sliced tomato.
you don't really need a recipe, just fine-chopped garlic in butter and noodles with lots of cracked pepper
Thanks to her articles in Gourmet, I often make gingerbread, recipe courtesy of Laurie Colwin. It's delicious topped with lemon curd and I can usually find a chunk of it in the freezer, if it's not on the kitchen counter.
Breakfast for dinner: French toast is a favorite, as my husband isn't a fan. Scrambled eggs with sauteed mushrooms, some Canadian bacon or sausage, and hot buttered toast is also lovely.
