Another solo cook here. My son moved out for the third time in June. He did all the baking for the last couple years and although I do not each much baking I do miss a fresh out of the oven cookie.
I have evening classes 3 days a week. One of those days I am away from home from 8 am until 10 pm. I find it had to pack three meals. I pack my breakfast to eat once I arrive at school. I will pack a sandwich and veggies for one meal and then buy a hot lunch from the Culinary Arts program. It costs about $10 for a really good lunch.
Yesterday I bought sandwich fixings and meat for three sandwiches. Last night I made up two of the sandwiches as it is easier to have them ready to grab. I buy grapes and portion them out too.
Tonight I had squash, baked potatoes, green salad and a couple lamb sausages. I will eat the left overs tomorrow, when I get home from my late class. Saturday I am making a big batch of spaghetti sauce. I will eat it for two days, then freeze the rest. I also plan to cook a pot roast on Sunday. I have to be away from home all day and will need hot food when I get back.
Other than my lunches on Wednesdays, I will eat out 2-3 times a month. Often with a friend.
I eat the same breakfast every day. Homemade granola, with fresh or frozen fruit and berries.
