Welcome to Quickie Meals 4 One!

Welcome to my new blog all about quickie meals and treats that you can make for just one person without sacrificing time. I'm guessing if you live alone you don't want to spend hours making a meal that only you will enjoy. I started this blog when I lived alone. Even though I now have a roommate, we don't really share many meals because she is vegetarian and her boyfriend is vegan so my meat, cheese and butter loving ways are of no interest to them. So the journey of Meals for One continues.

A little about my recipes:

My meals are all gluten free because I have to be gluten free. If I say "hamburger buns" or "all purpose flour" you can use gluten free or regular wheat versions if you choose. It's up to you. 

Many of my meals are naturally gluten free because I love fresh veggies, fruits and dairy products.

I have started leaning towards RAW and ORGANIC foods because they tend to be fresher, taste better and last longer than their alternates.

I will likely not share a step-by-step recipe with pictures for most things. I usually don't even know the exact measurements and I rarely know what I'm going to do before I do it. These recipes are 100% ME. I have stacks and stacks of recipe books that I never open because I find that experimentation is the best method.

The idea behind my meals is that they are simple and pretty self explanatory. Really, they are just to inspire you to eat healthier and eat better even though you are only cooking for yourself. No need to rely on your microwave for meals anymore! I will share a picture of the final product and maybe one or two of any "complicated" steps.

I will try to include nutrition information but keep in mind that I am not an expert. The information I provide is likely to be an estimate based on information I find online. i.e. - half an avocado could mean half a giant avocado or half a smaller avocado. Use your best judgement. I don't dwell on nutrition facts when I eat, I just eat stuff that I feel good about.

Enjoy these recipes designed for those of you (like me) who really don't like following recipes.
