how about u season and package the meat in single servings. put in freezer and thaw as needed.

and during the week u can just use the toaster oven to grill/bake the meat.

Re: ALLLL the single ladies, &amp; those that can remember back den

I am single with some overnights, but no full time live-in. I totally understand what you mean and am tired of throwing out the spoiled fresh veggies too. Here are a few things
I’ve done to try to minimize the waste:

<ul style="list-style-type: disc">[*]<span style="font-weight: bold">Buy in small quantities.</span> It goes against everything I was raised to believe to buy two tomatoes or three squash or one cucumber instead of the pack or bag that clearly has a lower cost per item. By the time I throw out what I didn’t use from the pack or bag, I have lost money and would have been better off just buying one or two.
<span style="color: #FFFFFF">...</span>[*]<span style="font-weight: bold">Blanch what you can and freeze it.</span> If I look in the veggie bin and see things like spinach or green beans that I don’t see any sign of getting to in time, I boil some water and let the veggies sit for a couple of minutes and then bag and freeze for later. Now everything is not fit for blanching like I would never blanch cabbage, but fortunately cabbage lasts a while.
<span style="color: #FFFFFF">...</span>[*]<span style="font-weight: bold">Use frozen veggies.</span> We all know that frozen does not taste the same as fresh, but it is an alternative for some things depending on your taste. I’m totally fine with frozen corn and frozen broccoli among other veggies. Also, a nutritionist told me that often frozen veggies have retained more vitamins than fresh because they are frozen immediately after picking. Quite often (at least here), our “fresh” veggies are shipped from all over the continent so by the time they get here, they’ve lost more vitamins than a frozen veggie has.[/list]

Also, it took me a while to truly learn to cook for one so I always overcooked. Well, I still make too much but not so blatantly anymore. I bought some of those plastic containers , some freezer wrap, and package a meal, label and date it, and freeze it.

I'd like to go to the market every day I think. Well hmm, I'm going to have to ponder that one, but it does seem romantic like a french movie.

Walking home with my french bread sticking up out the reusable bag and going home to put the smelly cheese in the dorm room sized fridge. I admit it has a certain appeal, but the daily trip is just not practical at least for me.

OK, for real. This could be a thread in itself. Do you all go to the grocery store every day?

I can't see it in my area unless they set up drive-by grocers on the freeway. I mean as long as I to have to sit in traffic, it might not be a bad idea lol.

I can see going to get something you forgot. I'm good for substituting though lol.

I like the concept of fresh veggies every day. I like the concept of going to pick what I need out the garden. I just know it is unrealistic here to intentionally go grocery shopping every day unless you don't have to work. You'd be eating at midnight.

Re: ALLLL the single ladies, &amp; those that can remember back den

maybe try some frozen veggies ...like corn or peas ...

I do have those but I also goto the supermarket at least 3 times per week for fruit and veggies.
