This Week’s Meals: Simple & Frugal Dishes for Solo Living

This Week’s Meals: Simple & Frugal Dishes for Solo Living

Welcome to my weekly meal roundup! 

As a solo retiree living simply and frugally, I find great joy in preparing nourishing meals from what I already have at home.Each week, I cook small portions that stretch across a few days, often using garden herbs, freezer veggies, and pantry staples. These meals are not fancy, but they’re comforting, waste-free, and made with care. I hope they inspire you to enjoy the quiet rhythm of cooking for one.
