It's simple, only microwave and freezer required.

Cook loads, portion it up and freeze it.

That way you soon have lots of meals you can just throw in the microwave

I've just made a big pan of chicken & veg soup for my lunches this week

OH (who will not normally eat any soup except Heinz) : 'can I just have a little taste?'

Me : 'go on then'

Net result. We have ended up having it tonight.

I only have enough soup left for tomorrows lunch

I quite like cooking, it's more fun when for people but then there's no leftovers .

Also, when I'm in the kitchen I tend to not share the space so well, my excuse is that it's a small kitchen

I am the same, I get quite irked if I'm trying to do something and I have to stop because someone is in my way. But that goes for everything, not just cooking, and why I should probably never have kids lol

Batch cooking is the key! Cook a meal and freeze it into portions. I'd love to say I was organised enough to do it when I lived alone but left to my own devices I lived on supernoodles and pick & mix.

Luckily my nan would spend a couple of hours once a month making 4 or 5 different meals (bolognaise, curry, chilli, soup etc) and split each meal into 4 or 5 tupperqare containers. Then all I had to do was either defrost or bung it in the freezer!

You don't have to have it for every meal but it's nice to always have a home cooked meal without the effort or waste I'm the freezer.

Either that or you could come to my house, despite slaving over a hot stove my kids never seem to eat what I make anymore so there's always a spare plate
