Flour tortilla + canned chunk chicken + bagged salad + sundried tomato pesto + feta crumbles = messy but good.

First of all the only advice I have for spaghetti is SUGAR! A touch of sugar will absorb the acid that is inherent in tomato paste/sauce and will make your suace taste bitter.

Now then the hoagie buns I use I get from the local bakery and are made of whole grain wheat and then dusted lightly with pepper. I then take cheddar cheese, and lay this on each bun and toast it in a toaster oven so the cheddar melts enough to grab onto the buns. This keeps the sauce from soaking in and making the buns soggy.

Michelina’s Lean Gourmet – they’re under 300 calories per meal and are 98 cents at WalMart!

Apples & Carrots – these foods stay fresh for awhile in the fridge. I hate buying some other veggies, like bagged salad, because you have 1-2 days to eat them before they rot!

Tuna, tuna, tuna!

Tacos – 1 lb ground beef, 1 old el paso stand and stuff taco kit, 1 bag of shredded lettuce or iceberg garden salad. (just crunch up the shells and put em in a bowl they fall apart anyway.

Patio brand Burritos – You can get these little guys 4 for a $1.00… can’t beat that.

Crock Pot – beef stew, roasts. Just set it to high if you put potatoes in it so they cook properly.

Chicken thighs – DarkMeat4TehWin Toss some lemon pepper on em and bake for about 40 minutes @ 400.

Viking Chicken Soup – Poach some chicken drumsticks in enough water to cover them with some celery and a tiny bit of union soup mix. leave the water in and take out the drummies strip off the chicken and chop it up, add carrots, egg drop pasta, celery. Put the bones back in the soup and simmer for about an hour. Do not add chicken breast. White meat is for vegetarians and elves. Serve with bones still in it.

Yes, about once a month I’d cook something because I felt like it, and I cooked too much because there aren’t really any good recipes for just one person, and eating leftovers… by the time I felt like eating them, they were long gone. Considering I hat cleaning around the house (still do), and the fact that it would usually mean cleaning at least two pots and then the dishes… I devoted my money and time elsewhere. Cooking for three or more seems to be much more worth it. Two is OK, but the more the nerrier.

So be.. well paid (not rich per se) and eat out. No dishes, no pots and pans. NO FUNKY SMELLS LEFT OVER FROM WHAT YOU COOKED OR WHAT YOU FORGOT TO THROW AWAY! :)

1 microwave burrito sliced in half
2 hot dog buns
1 slice of cheese again sliced in half

microwave the burrito then slice in half
place one half of cheese on each hot dog bun
place each burrito half on top of cheese
microwave again for 10 seconds
you may want to tear open the burrito to mush it down some thats just personal preference.

That’s a bachelor meal baby!
