When you have to scrounge something up for dinner...

[hamster]

What do you normally make? Particularly if you are only feeding yourself.

I'm not the cook, so I don't see ingredients and meal very well. I've got a tv dinner calling my name but that won't help my diet. And the nearby sushi hut is starting to know my name, and that's just awkward.

Just myself?

Cheese & crackers. Maybe salami and olives if we have them.

[Deleted]

Cereal is my go-to.

[doctorsbaby]

Roasted chicken breast with a veggie is my go to dinner. I can adjust it to the right quantity easily & it's fast.

[gogreengowhite]

Cereal. I hate cooking.

This, or cereal.

I rarely cook a meal for just myself, but if I'm going to, it would be something like putting a chicken breast or piece of fish in the oven, cooking a sweet potato in the microwave in cold weather, or in summer, making a super simple chopped salad consisting of one tomato, one green pepper, and one cucumber.

PB&J

Just me? Cereal. Or a bagel. Or if I'm feeling fancy - peanut butter & jelly.

[hamster]

Ha, I knew cereal was coming!

I usually have either popcorn or a cordon blue. Except we don't have either of those, and if I go to the store, I might as well go the sushi hut.

I just wont finish my hungry man. Dinner of champions for one, right here.

Dinner was originally trout and orzo.

Eggs or grilled cheese.

[hamster]

Damn! Grilled cheese!

[gt7301b]

Fruit, yogurt, and granola

These and add in Quesadilla, or salad with frozen Costco chicken tender on top of I have stuff for a quick salad.

[blondemoment123]

Buttered noodles.

[Deleted]

I usually make some couscous and a veggie burger. Or a veggie burger, salad and popcorn.

[ESF]

cheese and salami

Omelette

yogurt

smoothie

I try to eat low-ish carb at home, so it's rare we have bread in the house. When we do, then a grilled cheese or sandwich.

But my absolute favorite I'm-All-Alone meal is to cook up a bit of pasta, and toss it in olive oil, tons of parmesan, and salt & pepper. If we have pine nuts, then I put those in there too. It's amazing.

[awkwardpenguin]

A baked egg or two and salad. Or something frozen from TJs.

[mlt]

I usually grab leftovers and throw them in a hot skillet with an onion and some rice.

[elocrates]

Sauteed spinach/ olive oil and an over-hard egg on a piece of bread. My favorite. Easy, one pan, quick, yummy, and we always have the ingredients available.
Or spinach salad with craisins and a frozen breaded chicken strip (cooked in the microwave) cut up. I actually bring this for lunch fairly often, too.

[agnes]

salad (the bag kind)
sandwich of some kind
quesadilla sometimes with chicken if we have left overs
left overs
breakfast for dinner (including but not limited to):
- egg and cheese (and potatoes if we have it) burrito
- scrambled eggs and toast
- fried egg and cheese sandwich
- cereal
ice cream
things H doesn't like

[midnightrae]

I usually end up ordering Chinese food. Or I'll make tuna salad.

[msmerymac]

Dude. The sandwich place next to my office remembered me... over a YEAR after I had last been there (since I moved and began working remotely). Awkward!

This week I've been doing that.
- Spaghetti with half a jar of leftover sauce, whatever cheese I had and some frozen onion and pepper strips.
- grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches with cut up rutabega oven fries
- breakfast nachos (eggs, onion and pepper, cheese, salsa, plain greek yogurt)

[mbcdefg]

pasta with some sort of garlic/butter/wine sauce

PB&J

leftovers

cheese and crackers

pan-seared chicken - use on a sandwich, salad, or over pasta

I like the grocery store rotisserie chicken, plus a vegetable and maybe mashed/baked potato (microwaved)

order takeout

[Muddled]

Cheese and crackers.

[Deleted]

Toast with pb.
Scrambled Eggs.

When the delivery people know the cat by name, it's time for me to change.

[Deleted]

Breakfast burrito--eggs,' cheese, and salsa.

[hamster]

H found himself grilled cheese (jerk!) and nasty "ham" and bean soup.

[flatlan]

Leftovers, a lean pocket or a shrimp quesadilla

[hbomdiggity]

My H would make a cheese quesadilla in the microwave

I would go with cheese and crackers and olives. And wine.

[Noblegirl]

Baked potato with cheese and bacon.
