I would tend to cook a large all in one pot meal that I could divide up and freeze to have a few nice meals

I don't really bother to cook as such just for me. I only have to do it for 7 weeks a year though so it's generally fine.

I'm rarely alone so enjoy it when it happens. Foodwise it's a couple of M&S meals. One isn't enough

I sometimes do something simple like a steak/ piece of fish with just some vegetables. But will confess I also sometimes only do eggs on toast.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

I love cooking. Before my daughter left home she ate at work so I cooked for myself anyway. I am happy to knock together recipes and if the portions are large then I'll freeze some. I have two gem squashes I need to stuff with mince at some point so that's two meals. Then some spiced butternut squash soup will do me for a few work lunches. I also pick up cheap cuts of meat at the supermarket and do a one pot dish on my slow cooker. Very nice for stews in the cooler weather.

I do love slow cooker meals in the winter - and freezing portions would be an option except I am away for long spells. But love the idea of those for the cold season.

Is that down to lots of exercise?

And talking of stews and slow cooker food - they are often nicer when they have been reheated, dont you think?

Probably genetics.

They never get left long enough to be leftovers - I eat it all. I have a fast metabolism too. I have to cut my finger nails weekly. Again, genetics. My father was very slim.

Sometimes the good old microwavable curry from the supermarket is just what the doctor ordered (if you're lacking in salt)

I love it when it is just me, I get to experiment and try out new things. I also make batches of food, at the moment it is soups, preserves, beer and wines. Nothing like coming in from a cold wet day too be met with soup and fresh bread

It's definitely easier to cook for a few people, and if you buy stuff packaged for one it becomes expensive too. If you're not cooking from scratch then you have to either freeze some or have the same thing for a couple of days.

Have to say now I'm on my own I go quick & easy but am now thinking dust off the slow cooker and throw a stew or curry in it while I'm at work. Both taste great the day after cooking

Mmmm dumplings
