Default One person meal ideas

Does anyone have any ideas on what to cook for one person. My hubby is not home for a good bit of my meals and I am getting sick of eating the same old things. I don't want to cook large amounts of things and I am also looking for lunch ideas. Can anyone help me?

Have any recipes for two you like? What I do, normally, is save half of whatever I made for dinner the night before and have it for lunch the next day. I figure, if my dinner was on plan, my lunch will be too - this has also helped me to balance my day more - I've always been a small lunch eater and then gorged a bit on dinner (not good, I know) so its nice to be eating about the same calories/points at each of those meals..it certainly regulates my appetite better. Just invest in some gladware/tupperware and eat the leftovers for lunch the next day, or freeze them and eat them for lunch at a later date.

Default Recipies that serve just two...

Hi there! I know just what you mean! I used to get very bored eating the same old thing to! Anyhow, I am a flybaby and one of the links on flylady's site is:
http://www.savingdinner.com/
Saving dinner is wonderful! They have free sample recipies (a whole week!) that you can try, I recomend either the low carb one, or the body clutter one. You don't just get the recipies either, she gives you your shopping list and suggestions on what to serve with your main dish. Give it a try, you never know you may love it! Best of all, you can get them in just 2 serving recipies and freeze the second serving for a lunch or a night you don't feel like cooking! Good luck, and I really hope this helps!

Thanks for all of this. I think I need some more ideas on what I can have for lunch. I usually run home to eat so I can whip up soemthing fast. The only problem with eating left overs is that my microwave was burned after Katrina, I live close to New Orleans. I still havn't gottena it fixed so I have to heat it all on the stove. I just hate to heat up the house when I don't have to. Do you guys have sandwiches or wraps or what? I guess I am curious to see what you guys eat and I coud use a change.

I am going to use some of these recipes too.

Here is one I came up with the other day:

3-POINT PEPPERONI PIZZA WRAP

1 Flat Out light tortilla wrap (whole grain wheat)
1/4c Ragu pizza sauce
1 light mozzerella cheese stick - shredded
8 pepperonies
sauteed onions and green peppers (sauteed in a little water and pam)

Put all ingredients on tortilla wrap , stick in toaster oven (375 degrees) for about 3 or 4 minutes or until cheese in center is melted. Take out, roll up and eat. This is a big wrap and it's only 3 points! It fills me up, but you could easily make another one and eat it for a 6-point total meal!!!!

:-)

Sweet Heather that sounds great. I love those flat outs. Before I was on WW my hubby and I would make pizzas with those and cook them on a pizza stone, they would come out great. I guess I should figure the points for that and do it again.

Muax I know you havn't forgotten about me. I know I can count on you!

One of the things I like to do is bake a chicken breast that is rubbed with a little olive oil and sprinkled with Mrs. Dash. I then make some minute rice (not the best rice but it is quick) in some canned chicken broth and steam some broccoli, aparagus or green beans to go with it. This only takes 30 minutes total and I sometimes make 2 chicken breasts and cut up the second one for a sandwich or salad lunch the next day.

I also like whole wheat spaghettini mixed with broccoli, onions and mushrooms. I toss the broccoli into with the spaghettini and stir fry the onions and mushrooms in a little olive oil. Once everything is cooked I drain the pasta/broccoli then put it back into the pot, add the onions and mushrooms and toss with a bit of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and grated Parmesan cheese. The whole thing takes about 15- 20 minutes to make. I just add a green salad tossed with Italian dressing to round out my meal.

Kempyd - I posted a few more recipes in the WW recipe forum under the cooking for 1 or 2 thread - they will be near the bottom. Unfortunately I don't have the points for them but they should be easy to figure out as it they are mostly vegetable based and you probably just have to count the points for any oil used and the pasta & cheese. I will try to figure out the points and posted them tonight.
