cooking for one
Jun. 10th, 2008 09:41 pmI think I've nattered on about this before, but I generally hate cooking for myself. The end result is that I often only eat well when I'm entertaining. And for too long now, I've been grabbing take out and eating a whole host of crap.
So, recently I came to the decision (again) to try and eat right and take my lunches to work. Both to save money and to get more than the occasional vegetable down me. Some of the challenges include that I'm a little picky about leftovers and I get bored easily. So the whole 'make a casserole and eat it all week' doesn't work as well for me, though I've tried that route a few times. It just leads to me feeling petulant and ordering pizza. Other challenges include finding recipes that are for just one or two. The key seems to be better planning and a little repetition with some variable (like, the vegetable).
Goals are to eat more fruits and veggies, save money, and be careful about wasting leftovers.
( Just blather about the food I'm eating. )
