Cooking for 1

I get the impression that a fair amount of FT's members are single so I bring this up.

I don't eat breakfast on weekdays.

For lunch, I make a large salad that lasts a week (ingredients and greens kept separate - usually with grilled chicken) and a sandwich.

My normal dinner is a piece of meat (fish, chicken, pork, or beef), a side (usually brown rice or baked potato), and a biscuit (I make these cheddar biscuits with Old Bay seasonings).

These meals are certainly filling and somewhat healthy, but for the love of God they are boring.

My question is, what do you (single people) make for yourself? I google "cooking for one" and a multitude of recipes come up, but many (if not all) ask for ingredients that would go bad in 1-2 weeks if not used. You just can't buy a lot of these ingredients in small quantities (unless I am shopping in the wrong places) and I'm not going to piss away food & money for variety (i'm just cheap that way).

Any suggestions?
