Good home alone recipes??

FI travels a lot for work so I often find myself home by myself for a few nights - a few weeks at a time. 

This time he's traveling to WV to see his brother, so it's not for work, but like I said, I'm used to this

I just got back from the store and spent about $15 on stuff to make mexican ziti tonight and that will last me for lunch and dinner until he gets back.

What's a good single dish meal or lots of leftovers meal that you make when you're home alone? I don't have it in me to cook for myself every night, but a one and done thing I can totally do!

I generally save leftovers for when DH is out of town. I also use the kashi frozen dinners as backup, the chicken florentine is delicious! I will also grill a single chicken chicken breast on the grill and slice it over a salad. I never go crazy when he is out of town:)

I'm bad and eat out when FI is gone   I try to do sushi just because it's a healthier option.  He may be going to OH for a month for training so I'll be needing these ideas, haha.

Brea--Mexican Ziti?  That sounds a-mazing!

What I like to do is portion food and freeze it. I freeze chicken breasts individually and do small veggie portions. I also precook pasta and freeze it, them you just drop it hot water for literally 30 seconds and your done. This way I can take one portion out in the morning to thaw if I know he won't be home or I can pull 2 out for both of us. Then I do some quick cooks on meats and will do a little pasta with olive oil and veggies. I also love couscous since it takes about 5 minutes.

This is what I usually do too! I was just feeling a little more domestic this week. That, and when we end up in this house I'm going to be using the beautiful kitchen to its full extent!

My alone food was always mac & cheese and most of the time it was from a box.  That was when I was with my ex tho.  I think in the past year that I have lived with FI, we have only ate dinner apart about 5 times, if that.

Stir frys are also a great Option. Again just pre portion tjings and you can pull out what items you want to mix. I always have some prepared sauces on hand to use. I buy the 5 minute brown rice so normally I'll use it. Pre portioning takes a lil more te but I usually will just do it on a Sunday and make enough for several weeks. I eat alone a lot so I've found easy fixes lol
