I was/am an excellent cook--I make a Caesar salad from scratch--the best Shrimp Scampi you will ever eat--but cooking for one I don't get that fancy BUT I still make dinner an 'event' for me.
Even if I have a frozen dinner I will put it on a plate and add some 'color' plus I do have a homemade salad every evening plus a plate of fruit after for dessert.
Each month I use a different base for my dinner meals as, for instance, this month I made a base of Jambalaya to serve main courses on plus I will add either Avocado or Salsa as a topper.
