Bachelor(ette) Foods

Let's agree that we are all very impressed by K. Michael's bachelor diet. We've seen the photos of the juice and the scrambles and the salads. I wish I was as classy in my eating habits when I dine alone, but alas I often find myself eating a quesadilla with spinach or spaghetti with spinach or macaroni and cheese with some spinach in there. See, the spinach makes the meals healthy. This weekend my Friend is skiing and I am eating all kinds of starchy foods with token leaves of green! What do you eat when you're all alone?

    when I am alone I eat exactly the same way, just sadder

    Side broc or green beans with black bean sauce. Salad of romaine, cottage cheese + tomatoes or fruits, protein, grains, really anything. Meal salad!

    Buy a juicer. PROBLEM SOLVED.

    I like "fancy ramen." Make the ramen noodles, discard liquid. Saute in a nonstick pan: noodles, 1/2 flavor packet, a couple of sliced green onions, some defrosted frozen peas, and an egg. Pretty good, really!

    Also: grilled cheese with chutney, or tuna melts.

    Marmite toast
    Avocado on toast
    Canned soup
    Pasta
    Seaweed
    Cereal
    Tofu dogs
    Bagged organic salad mix

    Though I mostly eat out unless I am eating with Sasha. Then she/we make nice stuff.

    I love making fancy ramen versions. That's a good one.
  • Cherry_PieCherry_Pie
    Well I am very impressed by all of your foods. Sometimes I'm good and make simple, balanced meals when I eat alone- making too much is okay since I can just have it for lunch at work the next day. But so many times I think, "Oh I should chop up these veggies and roast them and make a tofu scramble on the side! Ugh- so much chopping. I'll just heat up a party pizza and throw some spinach on it."

    I feel like cooking elaborately while beardy is gone is something I do to comfort myself. Like, I'm lonely and I'm tired of walking the dog by myself but tonight I'm gonna make a really fancy grilled cheese and eat it while watching Spartacus on Starz play
  • 12341234
    Kind of like Charlton Heston in Omega Man.
  • flossy_log_ladyflossy_log_lady
    My standby: Annie's mac n' cheese (with some fresh dubliner cheese thrown in), frozen peas, maybe some greens if they're around, and a can of tuna fish.

    Twice a week: Breakfast Burrito

    2 eggs
    Sharp Cheddar
    Blue Cheese
    Soyrizo
    Salsa Huichol

    I definitely ascribe to the homemade Ramen lifestyle. I like trying weird noodles from Fubonn. Throw some veggie fish balls in there, some gai lan, some hot chili oil.

    I like making cacio e pepe with fresh pasta from pasta works. It's fast, easy, unhealthy, and delicious. Perfect bachelor(ette) food.

    Lots of trader joes frozen food (veggie corn dogs, veggie potstickers) and spaghetti. When I want to get really fancy I make baked bean sandwiches and baked potatoes.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    Damn, I never make breakfast burritos but every time I see the phrase "breakfast burrito" I think "Damn, why don't I ever make breakfast burritos??"

    WTF
  • 12341234
    I just ate chocolate cake. Now I feel gross.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    I just ate TWO HUGE grilled cheese sandwiches!
    This is what happens when my old man's not around!!!!
    I feel awful!

    But this morning! I MADE A SMOOTHIE AND A JUICE!!!

    image

    The smoothie is banana, yogurt, cranberries, spirulina, wheatgrass, tofu, almond butter, and almond milk.

    The juice is 1 grapefruit, 2 kiwis, 5 celery ribs, 1/2 bunch parsley, 1 tsp spirulina.

    I FEEL GREAT!
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    that looks great, both look very good!
    such a nice turquoise color on that smoothie, what's that about? Is that spirulina?
    whoa

    I had a shitty english muffin for breakfast
  • 12341234
    spirulina is so intense in color. The smoothie had a lot of bland colors to lighten things up.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    shitty english muffin
    no lunch
    what's next, comrade

    For lunch I had a Grilled Tuna Niçoise Salad from Nel Centro and it was great.
  • swamp_knobbler_mahanswamp_knobbler_mahan

    Borscht, turkey sandwich, carrot salad, one mini Ritter Sport yogurt chocolate bar.
  • Cherry_PieCherry_Pie
    Two handfuls of almonds, one cup of coconut flavored yogurt, a frozen Indian-style entree from Whole Foods and a tiny slice of pumpkin pie. Oh and one cup of coffee, made at home with Stumptown beans.

    I'm headed to a staff meeting- going to bring an apple so I'm less tempted to eat the mini chocolate bars our principal always puts out.
  • ed_chigliaked_chigliak
    coffee, plain whole milk yogurt w/cereal + maple syrup, herbal iced tea, tiny cherry tart, lentil/squash/parsley salad, 2 slices of bread, another coffee.

    One smoothie, one bowl of rice noodles with peanut sauce and veggies, some sunchips, one protein shake (44g). About time for a snack.
  • 12341234
    I just had a snack attack. Made a sandwich of dave's killer, veganaise, tempeh, harvarti, tomato, and pickle. FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.

    Ha ha Willow, when I read about the apple I thought "well now she's just gonna eat the apple AND the chocolate" and then I got to your second post about it and I was right!!!

    The "trick yourself" snack NEVER WORKS, because any snack that ISN'T the one you brought is ALWAYS more tempting.

    My day ended even weaker than it began:
    shitty english muffin
    coffee
    no lunch
    got home, ate huge bowl of collard greens with nothing else
    ate piece of pizza
    drank stout beer
    went home, ate entire rice krispie treat
    wtf
  • swamp_knobbler_mahanswamp_knobbler_mahan
    "Got home -> went home" Where did you go in-between for the REAL BROOKLYN PIZZA?
  • 12341234
    I got home and I was pretty sleepy. So I "took a nap" at like 7pm, thinking I might try to rally and go out to Holocene but instead just slept until 9am. BOOM. Who needs to eat when you can just dream about food?
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    I got home from work and ate the collard greens
    then I rode my bike to Mississippi Pizza and met Freddy and Calvin for a HOT SLICE

    Mike: WOW
  • freddyfreddy
    YT joined me and the monkey boy for our weekly pizza date at Mississippi Pizza. The quality of the pizza was fine, but the quality of the company was impeccable.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    true dat!

    the boy eats his pizza upside-down like some sort of madman. It shook up my perceptions of reality and did me a world of good.

  • 12341234
    I need to remember that pizza date. I would love to crash that party!
  • Loose_ThreadLoose_Thread
    OK back to feeding the need to feed...

    One day I realize I have a craving for snack foods... the orange kind.
    So I'm like, bad girl, have some celery.
    Then I remembered that if I deny myself something, I am sure to rebel disproportionately days later.
    So like I got a small snack pack and the fizzy yeasty drink I wanted to begin with. The alternative is that days later I would freak out on a family sized.

    I remembered that there is a canned beverage vending machine in the laundry room. This knowledge has triggered the production of unauthorized ice cream floats in the off-hours.

    Gone ROGUE!
  • Cherry_PieCherry_Pie
    I am eating Goldfish crackers for breakfast. Feeling good and bad about it.
  • Loose_ThreadLoose_Thread
    had breakfast, felt like I went to church (did the right thing)
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    shitty english muffin again
    we'll see what happens at lunch, meaning, whether or not I eat the half an apple I brought for lunch. I might not eat it.
  • 12341234
    YoursTruly and partner came over to watch a delightful Dreyfuss movie last night and I managed to turn down a slice of sizzle pie and just have a delicious Rabbits salad. And this morning I made a smoothie.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    All night I thought about how you have been displaying so much more food-related will power than me, and how jealous and self-hating it makes me feel

    but that sizzle pie really was good

    I need to take it up a notch, and by "up" I mean "less pizza"
