Cullinary aid request!!!

I am appealing to the masses of the blogger world to assist me in a very important task:coming up with menus for single serve meals!

I've been single for several years, am not a very good cook, and am growing tired of the whole "mac&cheese" meals.

SO, if anyone who peruses this blog would happen to contribute meal ideas for single servings, I would greatly appreciate it!
And so will my children (as I would grow to be a better 'chef', they would benefit from my cullinary growth).

Thank you in advance!

Depends on what you like to eat ray-ray. Answer a few questions for me and i can give you some great ideas(I have a certificate in Culinary Arts).

Do you like veggies?If so- what kinds will you NOT eat?
Shorter list usually..heheh

Silly Question- do you like meat- and if so what kind do you usually eat? Red meat- fowl, and fish.

Breads? yes or no.
Do you want meals you can make in 30 mins or less or something you can throw in a slow-cooker- and if you dont HAVE a slow cooker, I strongly suggest you invest the 20$ for one.

Thats it- I have a LONG list of thisngs i can send to ya- one or two a day on here.

Good luck ray-ray.

Dude, I've got several easy recipes for you.

-Spaghetti
-Chicken Broccoli Alfredo
-Tacos
-Tater Tot Casserole
-Chicken Casserole
-Roast (yes, roast)

The list goes on and on and on...

The only issue here is that you've asked for single serving. Even I don't do that. I usually cook enough for two meals and have leftovers later in the week. You can freeze the leftovers and cook them later. My main recommendation is to NOT reheat stuff in the microwave, unless it's veggies. It just doesn't taste the same - especially meat.

U want a recipe? Give me a call. Best time is late tonight, Friday night, or Saturday after 2:00 PM

Sunny~In the past, I have been known to be a picky eater. However, my tastes have expanded to just about every food possible with the exception of tomatoes.
I just can't do the sliced tomato.
Go fig.

Dave~I'll be in touch!

Can't go wrong with Grilled Cheese and Cream of Tomato Soup. Unless you spill the soup on your lap, of course.
