Cooking for one SUCKS! For 12 years, I’ve had a full desk. If the children weren’t all right here, there have been associates of one other. Meals and meals have at all times been BIG. However now my one child at dwelling works at a restaurant virtually full time so there’s hardly ever anybody to feed however me. (And I’m not a giant fan of my leftovers so batch cooking doesn’t actually work even in smaller parts.)
On prime of that, I’m nonetheless attempting to make good consuming decisions in consideration of my diabetes and weight reduction purpose. I’m down virtually 30 kilos within the final 6 months. Woot, woot!
However dinner time is difficult, particularly at evening when I’m bored with sitting in entrance of my laptop.
Then there was TikTok foodie movies…
TikTok has turn out to be my meals information. In a 60 second video, folks present you find out how to make wholesome, fast meals for one. And I’m right here for it. That is my favourite thus far..and it actually took 10 minutes to make.
Steam bag of riced cauliflower, shredded, season rotisserie hen after which Hellman’s Spicy Mayo to prime it off. I add a aspect of bell pepper with cream cheese and all the pieces however the bagel season. So good! And actually 10 minutes to make. Loaded the dishes within the dishwasher…which made for much less then a minute to scrub up.
Anybody else battle with cooking for one?
