I am 82 years old, live by myself and find it difficult to cook just for myself. I tend to rely on home cooked, frozen meals that I simply reheat in the oven or microwave. I am presently purchasing these meals from three different suppliers but to be honest I do not always enjoy them.
I recently noticed your November ad for a Solo meal cook book with tips for the left-overs. I do not care to deal with left-overs but dealing with left over salmon or other meat is more appealing especially into salads. I have been hearing from SOS for quite a while however I am not effectively involved. Using my computer is limited and I am not very efficient most of the time. on todays technology.
However for a few reasons I would like to get back to enjoying meals and hopefully inviting friends for a simple meal. I enjoyed cooking for my family for over 44 years
but for just me the ambition has gone. I am now settled into my apartment which is a five minute walk from a nice grocery store and walking there is a good outing. Fresh food is no problem.
I need a boost and some encouragement.

Hi Doreen,
Thanks for sharing your experience. I invite you to try some of our 1000+ recipes for singles
Although I no longer eat meat, I remember this trick for cooking meatloaf from the time when I did. Instead of cooking one meatloaf in a loaf pan, divide the uncooked meatloaf into 4 and bake in a muffin pan. The uneaten ‘muffin meatloaves’ are easy to wrap and freeze.
Hi Helen,
Thanks for sharing.
I have never cooked any meal. Now I will follow your guide and try to make easy ham with pineapple. Hope I will make it tasty and tell you 🙂
