The idea for this site came to me one Sunday night around 7 pm I was
looking in my refrigerator for something to eat for dinner and waiting
for some meal to magically appear.Like many people, I am single and even
though I love to eat, I don't enjoy cooking for one. Since
moving to Chicago several years ago, I have met and continue to meet
many single people daily of all ages. The one thing I have noticed we
have in common are the difficulties and lack of excitement to cook for
one. The hard truth? We all still need to eat!
I decided to
share recipes that can be made by single people in different living
situations from those in college cooking in an apartment to Seniors
living on their own with access to a kitchen with the basics.
Since
I am still single, it wouldn't be appropriate to hand out dating
advice; however, I can offer cooking and baking tips, as well as tips on
shopping, preparation, storing and freezing.
Cooking for
yourself is a great opportunity to eat fresh foods everyday if you
choose, eat whatever you like, eat the same meal five nights in a row if
that is what you want to do or eat breakfast for dinner. This is a time
to celebrate and experiment, after all, if you make a mistake, it
could be amazing and if not, no one will know but you...
The more
practice you have now, the more prepared you will be when you do meet
that special someone you can share the perfect meal.
Lastly,
cooking isn't a science. The recipes that I share can be adjusted to
your taste. Please keep in mind that everyone's oven is different and
the cooking times may need to be adjusted slightly. I have just started
uploading recipes, so check back for more recipes.
Bon appetit and enjoy Flying Single in the Kitchen!
