I've been buying pre-packaged chicken breasts at BJs, but they're a serving for 3-4 in a package. But still that would fit with trying to cook in advance, and I could find enough stuff to do with one small package in a week.


I'm going to have to read more about using the crockpot for one person. Mine is big, so it just doesn't seem to fit for me to do that.

Thanks for the ideas!

ooooooo love my Cuisinart grill.


I cook for myself. I often cook enough to freeze and save. But I also need to eat fresh food. I'm staying away from grains right now but really digging making these lettuce wraps. I like romaine but my favorite is boston bibb lettuce because I can make it taco like. You can fry fish, chicken, shrimp almost anything along with tomatoes, cukes, salsa or any sauce then wrap. I keep grilled chicken in the fridge and its easy to grab.

But the key, IMO to cooking single is preparing things ahead that you can defrost and reheat.

woks are also great for cooking healthy and fast.
