I don’t enjoy cooking and if I can avoided it I will, but I prefer to eat home cocked meals instead of the frozen processed ones or take out, so I have to cook, when It’s just me I tend to eat soup and a sandwich, I live in a country that has great love for soups so I was raised eating soup pretty much every day. I do a batch and place it in individual containers ready to eat, If it is to much I freeze it, it lasts several days in the fridge and it’s a way for me to eat vegetables since I don’t particularly like them.

I have to say that for someone living alone a good appliance to invest on is an air fryer, there are some that look like an oven, they are great to cook for one. Since I bought mine I reduced the oven use by a lot and I use it at least 4 times a week, sometimes more, it consumes less power than the oven and doesn’t eat the house like the oven.

You can do sheet pan meals with it, like the toaster oven, cook lasagna, things like fish sticks, chicken nuggets, frozen potatoes, even a whole fish can be cooked there, the outside gets crispy and the inside is moist. If it has the rotating accessory you can roast meat or chicken, although a whole chicken for one might be too much, you pretty much just have to season the food and chuck it inside and program the temperature and time, I have a bad memory for this, so I have a list where I take note of the them, the first time I cook something new I keep an eye on it and may have to adjust the time. I even use it to eat some foods, things that in the microwave get soggy in the air fryer stay crispy.
