buy a deep freezer and go hunting and fishing, I just take out a piece of meat and portion out some frozen vegetables and perhaps a pasta side. I eat any leftovers for breakfast. I practically live out of my freezer when i eat at home.

I highly recommend you shop around until you find an older version of the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook.

Lots of usable recipes, although you may have to do some math, such as dividing quantities by 2 or 4.  Lots of basics, some stuff obviously 1950's era nutritional advice, but it sticks to basic, non-packaged meals and is always a help, like when you can't quite recall how long that meatloaf is supposed to stay in the oven.

I cook two to three times a week, like you just for myself.  A simple favorite of mine is to buy chicken pieces (or cut one up yourself, done both) or slices of beef (pre-cut "carne asada" works great as it is already portioned, thin and quick to cook) or even pork chops.  Cook all or most at once.

With it I have some sort of vegetable.  Steamed broccoli, mushrooms, peas, or whatever mix I threw together.  I will often premake my own salad and eat it throughout the week to (DO NOT put dressing on until you eat it!).

Works for me.
