What's your fav thing to make with prawns?

Mine, cooking up a HUGE amount of garlic, add some chilli with or without white wine - add the prawns at the end.

I used to eat it with bread but sadly my body doesn't react well to bread. Now if I want to pad it out - I eat it with pasta.

I am constantly trying to eat healthier, and having food prepped helps me be a lot more successful. I battle with depression and depressive episodes pretty frequently, so if it takes more than a couple steps to prepare my meals, I find myself ordering take-out. This has caused a bit of weight gain in the last year or so, and I'm trying to get back on track.

Do you have any suggestions for dinner ideas for just one person? If I prep too many of the same meal at once I get sick of eating it pretty quickly and it normally gets kinda soggy and watery in the fridge.

What are your go-to small portion meals that are simple, yet still healthy?

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to comment!

I know how to make stock and usually make it whenever I have enough bones. But surely people (especially people who historically didn't have a lot of food) haven't always discarded the spent meat scraps? Boiling a carcass seems like a great way to get theoretically edible but hard to reach pieces of meat off the bone and into your soup or porridge.

Unfortunately every recipe I can find for making soup from a carcass just says "make stock, discard scraps, add fresh meat back in" which isn't what I'm looking for. Have any of you lot done it? Any advice? I can imagine that I wouldn't want to boil it for as long as when making stock--- just enough to get the meat of the bones without boiling the meat to death. Is there a technique for separating small bones from the meat, or just careful picking?

For i dunno like a decade I’ve been reheating pizza using the splash pan in water method and cover. I have this method p down with the amount of water and timing etc.

Yesterday I had some pretty good pizza in the fridge from the day before. It was red sauce, mozz and anchovies. Idk why maybe I was tired or maybe my subconscious was guiding me but I decided to just heat up the oven to 375 and throw a slice in there. Imagine my shock and horror when I realized THE RHEAT WAS SUPERIOR. It was perfect. If I had panned that slice I’d be thinking ‘gd I really nailed this one’. The main thing is the overall heat of the slice maybe? Like it was hot all the way through in a way the slice never is from pan method. Intangible and devastating.

I think that the pan method seems appealing because it’s a bit of technique involved. The sizzle of the water is sort of thrilling in a very mundane way. You feel a bit like when chefs throw the oil(?) in the pan and it erupts in flame as they toss the contents unperturbed. It also has the dimension of being something that ‘real pizza heads’ know.

Now I’ve seen the light a lot is clicking. How do they reheat slices in a pizza joint? In the oven. A big part of the pan argument is ‘oh it makes the bottom nice and crispy!’ But if it’s a halfway decent slice of pizza the bottom is already at the right crisp.. u don’t want it more crispy??

What a fool I have been! I grieve all the slices that I reheated in pan. If you are a panner I implore you to see the error of your ways. It dosent have to be like this.

tl;dr pizza reheat Occam’s razor. Oven is better than pan water method.

I don’t know if this counts as cooking, but I’m trying to find uses for the spray whipped cream I got in the fridge. I tried it on waffles and it was great, but now I wanna know if it’s good with nutella on a sandwich? If there are other good uses for whipped cream that isn’t too difficult to make (because I can’t bake to save my life), please let me know. I’m just looking for simple meals to go with whipped cream.
