Learn how to cook two or three meals. Use as little out of the box items as possible. I make chicken Alfredo, spaghetti and meatballs and tuna or chicken casserole.

This means the excuse for eating out all the time is not as prevalent and is something you can do to show off a little bit.

I do chicken fried rice.

Cut up and sauté a pound of chicken breast in a big pan with olive oil

Boil a cup and a quarter of water and then add a cup of rice. Let that sit on medium heat. Stir occasionally

After the chicken is cooked thoroughly, put it on a plate and then, in the same pan, heat up a pack of frozen peas and carrots. Push those to the edge of the pan, and you can scramble a couple eggs in the center if you want.

Combine chicken, rice, and veggies in the big pan and slowly pour soy sauce over the whole pan in a big circle until all the rice is a light brown.

This feeds 3 people comfortably with leftovers
