There are a bunch of cookbooks available for cooking for one:

will give you a headstart - -

This one is particularly good:

I also just got Rachel Ray's cookbook that has 365 recipes that probably 350 of them are supremely easy... all you would hav eto do is divide the recipe in half...

Storage sounds like it's your biggest problem... If you plan your meals out a week in advance - you should be able to shop so that you are getting just enough stuff to cook with and aren't throwing out stuff that you didn't need.

As I'm sure you are finding out, not havine freezer space, makes cooking for one a lot more expensive - (you can't get family packs of chicken or meats, etc...)

I cook for myself 99 percent of the time - I will usually m ake enough for lunch the next day or dinner a day or two later...

I do not like packaged foods, so kraft dinners I'd never buy
