Solo Dinner

So, kiddo decided to have lunch leftovers for dinner. Ok by me. But this means I have to make something for myself. With FI gone, it's just me. Everything I have is for full family meals. So, I rummage in the fridge. I see celery sticks, leftovers from the Mexican place (and it's stuff I won't eat), and tofu we got to make miso but we never got all the ingredients. Gah. I've never had/made tofu anything besides in miso. Thank you Pinterest. Looks like I'm having popcorn tofu for dinner. 

And wine...can't forget my wine.

    THIS IS THE BEST!

    I have been a vegetarian for almost 10 years now, but the thing I miss the most is the delicious breading on chicken strips. Well, problem solved!

    I'm on my own (as I am every weekend night).  Tonight is filet of beef, mashed potatoes and whatever veggie is in the freezer.

    Tomorrow will chicken pot pie I'm going to make.  Most likely eat that for dinner or lunch Sunday too.

    I do make a point of keeping soup or tuna fish in the cabinet for nights were I don't have anything and don't want to go out.   On Monday I plan on making more meatballs and red sauce to freeze as they are another staple I keep around.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    My non-planned meal nights are always pasta with butter. Always :)

    I ate a lean pocket, like the classy lady I am.
    Fi and I were going to go out but decided not to.

    For my single adult meals, I make some whole wheat pasta with a heaping scoop of pesto and a can of tuna. Lately it's been chips and salsa because we made the mistake of buying salsa in bulk at Costco. 

    In your case, with the things you currently have, I'd just eat celery, ideally with some ranch dressing if possible. I eat celery + salad dressing on a regular basis. Or cucumber skins + dressing. 

    (PS - I FUCKING LOVE YOUR NEW AVATAR AND SIG. Let's be friends.)

    Any incarnation of the grilled cheese. The extra lazy version for when you don't even want to dirty a dish is put a tortilla on a paper towel, cover it with whatever shredded cheese you have, microwave until cheese melts, fold in half, and enjoy your lazy woman's quesadilla.

    FI does this ALL THE TIME. Sometimes he'll put hot dogs on it. I'm sweet with the quesadilla part, but not the hot dogs.

    BOXESSSSSS

    I love grilled hot dogs, but I find them repulsive in any other context. Tell him it's over ;)

    @lyndausvi Good work!!! My mom makes a veal in white wine sauce and no matter how many times she gives me the recipe and how closely I follow it- mine never comes out like hers! It's good, but not even close to the consistency of hers, it drives me mad!
