I used to be a huge microwave popcorn for dinner chef, after all, it takes a very special skill to pop
all of the kernels without burning them...In the two to five minutes it takes to microwave the popcorn, you could have heated a homemade pre-cooked meal or even made an entree salad.Sunday's are my cooking days. I put aside about three hours and make 3-4 meals for the week.
Some I may put in the freezer depending on my schedule during the week and the remainder of
the meals in the refrigerator. I am very ambitious andcreative, I may put together my lunches for
the week. It saves time later in the weekwhen I am very busy and is not only kind to my pocket book, but allows me to eat healthier than deciding at noon when I am starving what will be thefastest lunch to pick up.

For variety, even if you are eating the same entree, change up the sides and the meal feels new.

The cooking times for the recipes posted may vary slightly and are approximate since ovens and stoves
vary in btu's, age, and gas vs. electric.
Cooking isn't a science. Have fun! Experiment. The advantage of cooking for one is that only you
will know if the meal didn't turn out the way you planned. Another advantage of cooking for one is
that you can have breakfast for dinner, eat the same meal every night or try any new item you see in
the grocery store. Often when cooking for other's there is someone who doesn't like this vegetable
or will only eat chicken or won't eat fish. When cooking for yourself, you don't need to adjust for
someone else and can eat fresh foods daily.
