Covid _19 Culinary Tips

Never, have I cooked so often ... for so few! My wife, like me, is hunkered down at home, and though she never fusses about what is for lunch, come high noon, there is always something tantalizing to feast on. 

My miracle ingredient: mise en place!" It starts with your weekly  (for us fortnightly) shopping.  Make a list that incorporates meals you plan to try. 
Meat is not a top priority in our household, a mixture of cereal, veggies, chicken, and cheeses go a long way. 
Now hear this: I chop onions and peppers, label and date them, and either: freeze or use within the week.
Again, I do the same to cheeses, veggies and meat. Buy a family, size pack of meat and divide, in my case for two servings.
In 1990, I got home from my San Juan, PR cafe at midnight and as routine, watched the Home Shopping show while eating butter pecan ice cream, I ended up  buying a dehydrator from QVC for $59.00. Still using it! 
I dry my herbs and fruits as I get them on sale.
You can still freeze fresh fruits.
Just do it!
