Do you like to cook just for you?

Hi marguicha. I have to cook everyday from scratch three times. No leftovers for my husband, he is a very fussy eater. But when my husband was in another city for almost seven months last year, I hardly cooked anything. My daughter will not have side dishes, so it was only rice and gravy for her when she goes to school. She did not like anything else and even if I took the pains and prepared something else, she would not bother to even touch it! And I would eat at my parents' place most of the time. Cooking only for myself is such a bore, really. But now, I have to cook for my husband and have to be conscious of what ingredients I use because of his diabetes.

I don't mind cooking for my self...to night I made a chicken casserole just for me and I have to say I enjoy it very much! yesterday I made pumpkin soup and a chorizo and beens casserole which I put in containers and put in the freezer for later use! I can't help it I just like to cook! I Am publishing a blog about cooking for one[ it will be about my own experience about cooking for one and how any one can have a good meal]and enjoy it even it you are on your own!

I get recipe/cooking newsletters and am always trying out new (to me) recipes. Of course, I have to scale them down for one or two persons as I often share with the neighbor. Occasionally, when I'm feeling too bad, I don't want to cook so then I just do without or see what is in the leftover portion of the 'fridge. I can't type and eat at the same time, so I'll open a book and read or check out what's on the tv. But for the most part, I cook.

Some times I like to cook but I am like you when I am alone I just stick to a sandwich or something that is quick to make, Yes I get a cup of coffee first thing in the morning and turn on the computer and the other day I did make myself some French Toast but it was quick and easy oh boy now I am hungry! L.O.L. But I don't feel like cooking at all today!!

Hiya margi, Improvise is my middle name (grin). However I usually plan meals otherwise I can find myself going overboard with what I have to spend for Food. So there are a lot of limits on what I can put and what I would really want to put as well. I like making my own Soup even if I am on my own and a Salad and trying to avoid Bread a little bit more than before. Would love to go to Dinner at your place margi I would never know what I am going to eat.xxx See you chiki take care.xxx

O yea, I now live alone and I cook for myself and I like it. Simply because you do not think of other people and what might please them and so forth, I have a lot of freedom and I cook whatever I like and eat at my owm pace and strenght.

I'll usually just make myself something really simple if it is just me. A salad or just heat up leftovers, that kind of thing.

Not really, but then again, I don't really live alone so I seldom cook for myself - actually, I seldom cook, the roomie likes to and I don't...

I don't like cooking for myself. I get lazy or suddenly am too busy to cook when I'm eating alone. By myself, I can eat anything available like leftover food or noodles, or bread. Cooking for family or friends makes cooking enjoyable and exciting.

I usually if going to be online will have my breakfast first before coming to the PC. Generally I like fast items if it is just me because my cooking means lots of leftovers. But breakfast I can do quick cereal and toast and or have been known to make pancakes, from scratch and bacon. I need the additional carbs and energy to start my day. lol

No, not really. I mean, I still cook for myself only sometimes, but most of the time, I just get something small when I am alone. Cooking is much more fun if you do it for several people, it's as simple as that!

I do not like to cook special dish for me but love to do for special people in my life. I do the same like you when I am alone at home.

I live with other people so we usually cook some good dish. When I'm alone I usually prepare something more fast to cook but in any case I make a lot of food cause I'm always hungry. Only a sandwich it's not sufficient to me.

I've been living away from my family running 4 years now. And currently I am living with a co-worker who travel oftentimes-nature of work. Thus I am often left alone at home. I don't mind cooking for myself-I got absolute freedom on what dish to cook. At the past though, like you I don't like to cook for myself..or for anyone for that matter!

Yes, I love cooking for me only. Those are the times I commonly try to create new recipes, foods that I have never cooked, or try out new ideas that have come in my mind. After all, it is quite normal that I will experiment with foods that probably will not even be edible, when noone else than me will be around to taste them.Hahaha.

I'm like you..when no one else is going to eat..I just grab something. I don't know what I will do when the kids are grown..lol..I'll never have a good meal then.

I always want to eat food that I like, when there is no whoever, at home. Because, I can not enjoy the food that I like, if there is a husband, or anyone at home, because I have to follow their tastes. So when I'm alone, I often cook meals that I like for myself.

yes, i like to make an experiment. i cook variety of food from different meat to vegetables and fish. sometimes seafood. i like food with marinated stuffs on it with a mix of different herbs. it leaves a unique smells and it serves as appetizer. i also like to eat outside too of my homes like doing barbecue or grill food. also like to eat in the restaurant and try their new menus.

hi, we all know that eating alone is very sad,because we eat alone,of course its more happy if they are many to join you,but sometimes there was a time that i want to eat alone,so for me i am more wanted to cook just for my self especially when no one to join me.

To be honest, I love to eat different things. But I hate to cook. If I am alone as I usually am, I hate to cook even more. Unfortunately, my working hours are so odd, that I cannot keep a cook. Moreover, I like food so much that I would hate someone cook food for me, becuase I may not like it. This is an unusual situtation. But I can't help it.
