Living on my own, the older I get, the less I have any interest in proper meals. More often than not, I'll do small snackish meals spread out over the day; a bowl of meat and cheese, or a plate of veggies, or some cottage cheese and yogurt. Stuff like that.

I can't be the only one for whom traditional meals (protein, side, veggies, three times a day) have gone by the wayside.

ETA: Forgot to mention, that bowl looks incredibly delicious, OP.

    Same... making a traditional meal for 1 is difficult. You either have to buy small quantities of items for a way higher price, or you have to buy things in bulk and figure out how you can consume or store(freeze) the item for later.

    Then if you are trying to make a full course meal, you end up with enough food for 4-6 so you have to eat the same meal back to back to back to try and eat it before it goes bad.
