Ever since I took some cake decorating classes 4 years ago I've been burdened with making and decorating every *#$% birthday cake in the family. Now it's my husband's 40th, and I have ZERO ideas. Any suggestions?
I usually go for vegetarian when my SO and the kids are not around. SO always wants the meat and the DDs hate lentils, so I will go with chickpea curry, dahl and basmati rice or something.
A pint of ice cream! (I can't believe no one else has said that..... :-(
Otherwise...eggs or creative grilled cheese.....using whatever bread, cheese, veggies or fruit I have on hand.
My husband is always home, so I am never alone. However, I do cook for myself every once in a while. When I'm hungry, I just make enough for myself. Or if I am not in the mood for what he's made for dinner, I'll prep my own thing since I'm too lazy to go out and get some pho alone and fight for a close parking space on the street when I get back.
Like Markbb, I make ramen (Myojo chukazanmai only) with shrimp, mustard cabbage or spinach, kamaboko, Spam, sriracha, and a raw, unbeaten yolk on top. Their soup bases usually have sesame oil in them, so that's taken care of.
There are times when I'm just in the mood for cereal. So cereal and milk.
Beef jerky.
It's not a great dinner idea, but that's just me. :D
I eat alone most nights and I try to include a protein choice with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. I make refrigerator bran muffins, so it's easy to bake just one in an oiled custard cup. Mostly, I enjoy combination vegetable salads with a spicy vinaigrette.
About once a month, I buy the roasted chicken at the market , or roast one myself and I'm making a list of all the ways one can serve it. One chicken gives me at least four dinners and stock.
My budget only includes wine if I have guests and I try not to use any processed foods, mixes or products that have a "list" of additives. In winter, I use a lot of tinned tomatoes. Chilled, the diced ones are better in salad than the tasteless fresh ones.
Canned beans, lentils or split peas can be used for great crockpot meals. I like setting it up in the morning so dinner is almost ready when I get home
Cheese enchiladas with fried eggs on top or fish tacos. He doesn't like either so it's a special treat for me.
i had a big bowl of romaine lettuce with half an avocado and some leftover roasted aparagus with a mustard vinaigrette, followed by some fried ripe plaintains and potatoes with ketchup and creme fraiche. i live alone so i get to eat weird food every night.
I am also single and often eat on my own. Dinner tonight consisted of: green minestrone (vegetable stock, broccoli, zucchini, leeks, peas, lentils, and garlic), some slices from an Italian loaf bread, mixed greens with a balsamic vinaigrette, and grapes. Yum!
My mom and I always have Cobb salad when my dad is out for dinner, creating our own version with whatever is in season and in the fridge (plus the bacon, blue cheese and hard-boiled eggs)!
cobb salad, i dont know why ive recently become obsessed with cobb salad but i want it all the time now.
Well, I'm single so I have lots of dinners where I'm the only person I need think about. So, I'll just give you tonight's menu.
First: Skirt steak, drizzled with a bit of 25 year old balsamic vinegar.
Then: Green salad with a dressing made with green olive tapenade, red wine vinegar, olive oil, pepper
My TV snack will be 2% Fage yogurt with a little maple syrup mixed in.
