8 Meal Ideas for a Party of 1

Let’s face it, balancing classes, studying, working, and trying to be a normal social human being can make it difficult choosing to eat in rather than picking up something fast, and often unhealthy. And the thought of eating alone sounds depressing, but it can also have its benefits; gives you time alone to decompress, lets you enjoy the meal at your own pace, and you don’t have to worry about anybody else criticizing the way you eat. Another benefit is saving money!
We’ve compiled eight creative and fun meal ideas (we’re not talking about ramen noodles or a bowl of cereal here) that are perfect for a party of one!

Sesame Noodles

Ok, so I lied about no noodles. But this recipe is great as a meal itself or as a side. Get ready for flavor overload as this meal has just as many herbs and spices as The Colonel’s famous chicken.
