Tips I have learned cooking solo ~

Add leftover vegetables or meat to an omlette, a baked potato, fried rice, or stir into a sauce and serve over pasta. Extra fruit can be added to a smoothie, added to pancake, muffin or cake batter, stirred into pudding or jello, or used to top pound cake.





Cook hash browns in your waffle iron, just shred them and mix with spices and a bit of oil. Cook untill as brown as you like them. Try sweet potatoes this way!





I have no stove or oven so I make garlic bread in my George Forman grill :-)





You can cook "cupcakes", "pancakes", and "muffins" in the depressions of an electric sandwich maker.





Boil a big pot of pasta, divide into individual portions and freeze in sandwich bags. For later use, just run hot water over them.Presto, ready to eat.
