I'm living alone for a month, what are some fairly decent and tasty meals that I can prepare?
Whether you live alone or prepare food for a family it is always a good idea to make extra and save cooking time and conserve on energy. I presume your home has a freezer. Buy freezer paper and freezer tape or use reusable freezer containers and put the extra helpings away for a later date. Cooking alone is especially difficult when some foods are sold only in larger quantities. I would make a turkey or chicken and then wrap the rest in single portions for a week later. Most foods freeze well. I make single lasagna portions in small metal ice cube trays. I love spareribs and cook two racks at one time. I create fabulous soups and put small servings in used yogurt or deli containers to freeze. Then I take it out frozen, turn it upside down, put it under hot running water for a few minutes. It disengages itself from the container and can be put in a soup pot with a little additional water to have homemade soup. You can make croquettes or burgers in advance and freeze them as patties. When you remove them frozen you can either defrost them or cook them until they thaw. Bon Appetite.
