cooking for one cook book?

At my grocery store they sell fish in little blue packets for like $0.50.
Pretty cheap, and makes for a good main course.
Add alittle lemon.
 
that's the thing i hate cooking one big thing then freezing it/eating it for a week. and i hate wasting food. and i like having a book. there's gotta be something like this!

plus freezing isn't that big of an option, live with 9 people, only got one freezer so never any fucking room.
 
I also cook for one. This can be great, in some cases, since I can eat whatever and whenever I want and don't have to conform my eating habits around anyone else's, but everytime I make something to recipe I end up with the same meal for the next three days. And in all honesty, since I made it, it's usually not all that spectacular. I've noticed that I'm just as likely to nuke something from the freezer (hotpockets, tv dinners, junk food) if it's on hand so I stopped buying any of that, give or take a few drunk shopping sprees. What helps me the most is making sure that the easy-access stuff on hand also happens to be delicious, good-for-you stuff: fresh fruit (bananas, apples, and oranges all last a while as long as I don't buy them on the same day), sandwich makings with whole-wheat bread, and a homemade granola mixture that I can throw together with greek yogurt in a few seconds flat.

Then again, if you live with nine people, I'd definitely try to work something out with one or a few of them so that you can experiment with new recipes at their usual more-than-one-person serving and never have to eat endless leftovers again.
 
I like Stevia, its probably an acquired taste thing, but the more I use it the less sweet my tooth becomes anyways.

Apart from Chywanaprash I have basically no sugar, just tends to make my blood feel "thick" at least physcologically

I eat a fair amount of wholewheat noodles etc and some pineapples so I dont think I am lacking for any type of sugar or carbs though :)
