well, most of the time i'm cooking for myself, and i cook in batches which i freeze. Basically home made ready meals. Great if all i have to do is boil a pan of pasta or rice.
Staples that i buy when shopping. Pasta, rice, cheese, bacon, and eggs.
I also like cook - in - sauces, but not the cheapo ones..they're just rank.
As for spices, it's usually salt, pepper, and mixed herbs.
I also like a lot of onion and garlic.
When my boyfriend is here at the weekend, he'll cook or i'll cook, depending on who feels like it.
Last night he made dinner (spaghetti bolognese) and this morning i made breakfast.
(poached eggs on toast with bacon)
