Any ideas for dinner for one person? That's flavorful and with not alot to use at home?!
Answers: Usually if I'm by myself I'll make a omelet with lots of onions, green pepper, crisp bacon bits and lots of cheese, with slice tomatoes on the side....add some toast and a good cup of coffee you are set......
A bowl of cereal?!? That's what I'm having. Want one?
LOL
welll....you need to tell us wht you have in hand!
I am having a toasted tuna fish sandwich and some chicken and stars. I could not be more excited about getting to eat this, but I must wait for the tuna fish to get good and cold.
peanut butter and jelly ? or other sandwhiches like grilled cheese.
pancakes??? french toast? grill cheese?
mac and cheese. if you wanna get fancy slice a couple weiners into it. works for me.
put noodles in boiling water!! yumm. if you want put prego or ragu on top and voila you have spaghetti! mac and cheese is always good too. or get fish sticks and stick them in the oven.
soup & grilled cheese sandwich
eggs & toast
Alone, I generally fix something really easy, like a can of Chili w/beans, top it with shredded cheese, onion and crushed crackers. Sometimes I add a burger patty and make a chili size. Chorizo and eggs with tortillas is good too.
most recipes are for at least 2 people. trust me, i lived that way for a long time and hated it. Just make the recipes and use the leftovers for lunches. you'll be surprised at how much you can save.
Another answer is to plan your meals so you reuse what was left in the last one to make the next one.....leftover beans make good chili, leftover chili makes good chili dogs, etc...leftover chicken makes a good quesadilla.
It's all in how you use what you have. if you plan properly you can eat very well on a budget. i do
Remember, left overs make the best lunches and save you some money, never mind the fact that YOU control what you eat

well. if you have ground beef, you can chop up some onions and garlic, tomatos, cilantro maybe if you have any and add rosmery why not, get all that and fry it till the onion gets this clear color (that means its cooked) add the ground beef and don't stop mixing it, trust me, and then just let it cook. then as almost any mexican i expect you to have tortillas so heat those up and then just make your taco. hope you enjoy! and ps trust me it don't take that long. and remember a smile can brighten anyones day.

Solo Spaghetti Dinner
I make this simple and delicious spaghetti dinner when I am home alone. It uses canned sardines and fresh tomatoes. It's great for a quiet night alone with a good book and a glass of red wine!
PREP TIME 15 Min
COOK TIME 15 Min
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces dry spaghetti or capellini
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) can rolled sardines with capers
1 fresh tomato, chopped
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
grated Parmesan cheese to taste, for serving
DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti, and cook until al dente, or 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water. Toss with a drizzle of olive oil, cover, and keep warm.
Place 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until soft and transparent, about 5 minutes. Add the sardines; cook and stir 5 to 8 minutes until the sardines start to break apart. Mix in the tomatoes, and cook until mixture is heated through. Stir in the bread crumbs. Serve over spaghetti, and top with desired amount of grated Parmesan cheese
What about a stir fry. You put in whatever meat you want, pork, chicken, beef, lamb, prawns or tofu if your a vegetarian, whatever vegies you have on hand and some sauce. Just soy is fine as a sauce but I like a bit of oyster sauce as well (not too much) you can serve it with rice or put some noodles in with the stir fry.
steamed artichoke and grilled shrimp on a bed of couscous. Easy and delicious!
