COOKING FOR ONE

Dear Heloise: I am 102 years of age and live by myself. Cooking for one is difficult. I have containers that hold a serving of mac and cheese, sliced roast and gravy, meat sauce, etc.

One pound of ground meat pats out to five or six patties. I place them on a cookie sheet to freeze, then put them in a baggie for future use. I spread hamburger buns on sheet, and when they’re individually frozen, I return them to the bag and put them back in the freezer. One cup of cooked rice can be divided into serving amounts and placed in appropriate-sized baggies.

These are just a few ways to have ready-to-warm-and-serve meals. I truly save money and leftover food to my advantage. Thanks for your informative column. -- Ruth B., via email
