To eat badly It is a risk that you can run, being alone at the table: no single would think of making ragout or risotto, dishes that require a long preparation and it is worth cooking if you are at least two.

A tasty and balanced dish will come.

eggs

Eggs are the typical food of the single: just break them in a pan to get an omelette or a fried egg. But you've never tried them with tomato sauce? In a single-portion cocotte, distributed from the pass previously heated in a pan with some fried; then break an egg, taking care that the yolk remains intact. Now bake at 180 degrees for a quarter of an hour: you will get a rich and filling dish.
