Q. I'm looking for recipes for one person. Do you have a cookbook cooking for 1? If so, please write.
If you do not, please do NOT reply. I can do my own research on the internet but am hoping
someone out there has great ideas to share. The internet is filled with cookbooks none of which I am interested in buying unless there is an opinion/ recommendation/ experience attached.
Specifically I would like rice or beef or chicken and veggies casseroles recipes for 1.
Thank you.
PS - I do not know how to enable yahoo communications, hence I cannot email anyone back. Tried and tried, does not work. Please just attach your recipes to your answers if you can. Thank you.

I find that a lot of the recipe cookbooks called, cooking for one, actually tell you how to make dishes which you can freeze and reheat later. I am currently working on putting my own cookbook together of practical meals to prepare for one...with no leftovers involved. Here are a couple of my recipes which have worked really well for me.
TUNA CASSEROLE (1)
1/2 cup elbow macaroni...cook
1 T. butter
1 T. flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. instant chicken boullion, dissolved (optional)
1 slice cheddar cheese cut up in small pieces.
1 small pkt. tuna (3 oz.)
Heat above until cheese is melted. Add to the cooked macaroni. Pour in casserole dish
and crush 1 saltine cracker, crumbled, over the top. Dot with butter and put in 400 degree
oven for about 20 min.
________________________________________________________________________
MEATLOAF (1)
1/4 lb. ground chuck
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp mayonnaise
1 Tbs. bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. A-1 steak sauce
2 T. ketchup
Mix gently with hands so as not to mush the ground beef.
Put in baking pan and bake for 20 min. then add the glaze and bake another 5 -10 min.
Glaze
1 tsp. dark Karo syrup
1 tsp. ketchup
1 tsp. brown sugar
Mix glaze ingredients in equal parts or to taste and cover meatloaf with it.
Bake uncovered until coating is cooked. Slice and serve.
SCALLOPED CORN
1 small can creamed corn (8.s5 oz.)
1 Tbs. mayo
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. sugar
salt, pepper to taste.
Top with:
1 Tbs. cracker crumbs
dotted with butter (1 tsp.)
Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 min.
SCALLOPED POTATOES
1 med. potato (partially cooked)
Cook in microwave for 1 min. Cool, to handle.
Peel and slice.
Mix:
1 T. butter
1 T. flour
1/2 cup milk
add to potato slices, stir being careful not to mash the potato slices. add salt & pepper to taste.
Pour in casserole dish. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 min.
___________________________________________________________________
OVEN GREEN BEANS
1 small can green beans (8oz.)
garlic salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1/2 Tbs. butter
1/2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 strip bacon
Lightly spray/grease a flat baking pan. Lay green beans to cover the bottom of your pan. Sprinkle your beans with a little garlic salt and pepper (however much you like). If you really love garlic, you might consider mixing some fresh mashed garlic or minced canned garlic into the sauce... but you don't have to because this has such a lovely flavor - even without added garlic! Melt your butter in a glass measuring cup and stir your brown sugar into it until well-blended. Pour mixture over your beans evenly. Layer bacon strip over the top of the beans. Cook in the oven on about 350 for about 30 minutes (or until bacon is to desired crispness).
_________________________________________________________________________
CHICKEN AND DRESSING
1/8 tsp. each: ground sage, dried savory and poultry seasoning.
1/4 tsp. instant chicken bouillon granules
2 tsp. dried chopped celery
1/2 tsp. dried minced onion
1/2 tsp. dried parsley leaves, crushed
dash pepper
in a saucepan, add:
1/3 cup water
1 Tbs. butter or margarine
the seasonings from above
Bring to a boil over mediium high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium, simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in:
1/2 cup partially dried 1/2 inch bread cubes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the liquid is absorbed, stirring constantly.
Add 1/3 cup cubed chicken and 1/2 cup steamed peas. Mix. Put in casserole dish and top with bread crumbs, dotted with butter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
