Cooking for one

I'm looking forward to cooking for one and shall have many meals of jacket potatoes with all sorts of filling - no need to bake, just microwave 5mins each side.

I have a big family. I cook for everyone. I think for one it's even easier to cook

I don't batch cook but cook nearly every day. And I like meals which don't take long to cook.

Jacket potatoes...with prawns/mayonnaise, cheese, baked beans, leftover chilli or Bolognese, tuna and sweetcorn etc. With homemade coleslaw or veg.

Omelettes...put anything in, broccoli, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, cheese etc. With homemade coleslaw or veg.

Stir fries...leftover chicken, a multitude of veg. Season, maybe add soya sauce.

Pasta, any shape, I like linguine/spaghetti...mixed with cooked tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, peas, sweetcorn, carrot, courgette- whatever you have. Season. Mix together with either soft cream cheese on it's own or grated cheese with tom puree or ketchup if wanted. Or with a pesto sauce.

Cauliflower cheese with veg.

Risotto's...make with any veg and stock cube adding prawns or chicken.

Hash...corned beef or tuna mashed up potatoes [new or old], cabbage, broccoli, onions, carrots and fried until a crust has formed.

Eggs/tomatoes/mushrooms/sardines/mackerel on toast.

Homemade soups...put in anything leftover.

Roast a chicken...will last for 3-4 days used in various ways.

Homemade curries.
