Yeah, sure, single ladies on a budget can use this book too, but much in the spirit of Thug Kitchen, I am helping a friend collect recipes aimed at single men specifically, on a budget.
Here is the basic premise of the book: simple recipes, simple ingredients, no special tools. Picture a guy who has been on his feet all day, coming home to a small apartment, wanting dinner. He doesn’t have a ton of money to spend, he’s tired and he just wants something fast, cheap and ideally, healthy.
Readers, any suggestions for me? I’ve submitted hummus, which is incredibly easy to make and tastes amazing! A can of chick peas, some garlic and lemon juice. Mush it up with a fork. Eat with pitas or just eat out of the bowl.
Cheap, fast, delicious, nutritious.
There are tons of great resources out there when it comes to cooking on a budget and cooking for one, but there is nothing better than the voice of experience saying “this recipe really is the bomb” – what is your favorite cheap, fast meal that you think most guys would like?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
Lots of love,
JB

I usually cook on the weekends an freeze it. Spaghetti bolognese is a dish that is affordable, if you add enough carrots, onions and other vegetables healthy, easy to freeze (just the sauce ofc) and easy to massproduce.

Crock pots are often under utilized by single guys. They make some nice ones, small enough for one or two people. The great thing about crock pots is that you put the food in there, plug it in, and when you come home, you’ve got a delicious meal that’s been cooking in it’s own juices all day. Pot roast is always a good one, meat, vegitables, seasoning, done, and in a crock pot, almost always guaranteed to come out moist and delicious. Chili is great in crock pots. A can of mushroom soup and some pork chops simmering in it all day can be tasty and simple.

Steam rice (follow instructions on bag)
When rice is ready, heat one can progresso lentil soup (not fat free) in microwave, mix in with rice. Serve with tortilla chips, eat as dip.
Cheap, easy, and nutritious (I think, not a dietician). Big downside is the rice can take a little while to cook, but the prep is almost 0. I use brown rice, I like how the earthy flavor goes with the lentil soup, but it takes longer to steam. For white rice, I usually throw in some basil or rosemary before it cooks.
Fun fact: it is possible to overdose on rosemary.

The crockpot is the single man’s friend. There are so many easy things you can do with it – the only drawback is that it won’t yield an instant dinner.
Just off the top of my head: Toss a few chicken breasts and some barbeque or buffalo sauce, buy a few rolls, and bam, you have shredded chicken sandwiches, easy peasy. Throw in some salsa instead and you have shredded chicken you can use in tacos. Crock pot chili is easy/good too, brown some ground beef, sautee some vegetables, throw in some spices, and toss the mixture in the crockpot to cook overnight or while you’re at work. There are a ton other things you can do with a crockpot too, pot roast, beef stew, etc. it’s a great cooking tool for a single guy to have. Get one big enough that you have enough food for a couple of days, and you don’t have to cook every day!
Other easy things that are good: cut up a chicken breast and some vegetables, let them cook, mix in some teryaki sauce and a can of pineapples with the juice, and serve over rice. Or, cut up some sausage and vegetables, cook it up, and pour a jar of marinara in with the mixture, and you can serve with pasta.

Ditto on crock-pots. I am not really on a budget being a single professional with a side hobby that brings in good money but I am time crunched due to the two “jobs”. Get a big crock-pot (5 1/2 quarts is what I have) and on Sunday morning fire it up with stew, chili, spaghetti sauce, roasts, chicken, whatever. Sunday afternoon portion it into freezer and fridge containers and stash it. If you eat a couple helpings that week and freeze the rest, after a few weeks you will have four or five different meals in the freezer to pull out whenever you want. As far as recipes go, you can pretty much make any recipe you want and use a crock-pot cookbook to find out how long it should cook in the pot.
Here is my favorite stew:
4 pounds beef cut into 1-inch cubes
4 tablespoons flour
2 tsp salt
Mix salt and flour in a plastic storage container and shake them up. Add beef cubes a dozen or so at a time, shake like mad, then brown in a bit of shortening. Do this until the beef is all browned.
In crock-pot mix:
Beef
3 cups strong coffee
4 tablespoons molasses
2 cloves minced garlic (the stuff that comes pre-minced in a jar is a great time saver)
2 tsp salt
1 or 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne
8 carrots cut into bite sized pieces
4 onions quartered
4 or 5 medium potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
Fill with beef stock until the water level is about an inch below the top of the ingredients.
Cook on low eight hours or high four hours.

I have been single for 14 years now. Lost 35 lbs last year on the Paleo Diet. No grains, no sugar, no dairy. I can eat unlimited veggies, 1 piece of fruit (fructose), eggs, nuts (except for peanuts, which are legumes), eggs, meat and coconut oil. I also limit my eating to 8 hours/day. So I skip breakfast (first 4-6 hours of the day). Also, very important to fast the last 3 hours before bed.
I do my stretches (chiropractor designed) first and last thing each day. Take my 30 walk each day right after stretching. My body is forced to burn fat once the minimal glucose stores are gone.
Then make a smoothie consisting of water, Calm magnesium powder, Braggs apple cider vinegar, maca powder, colostrum, milled flax seeds, hemp seeds and salvia seeds, whey powder, cacao powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, liquid L-Carnitine, Green Vibrance powder, Swansons blueberry concentrate, kakadu juice, acai juice, aloe vera juice and Silk dark chocolate almond milk. Stir, put in the freezer for 20-30 minutes, chop up the frozen top part and add ice cubes. Sip with a few supplement capsules prior to my first meal.
My main meal will be an organic salad with a little no hormome, no antibiotic, grass finished meat (pre-cooked and chopped into 1″ chunks in the freezer). I rarely eat fish, due to high mercury content and now radioactive conerns in the Pacific. i like blue cheese or ranch dressing, but avoid any brand with soybean, canola or corn oil in it. Yogurt, sour cream or olive oil is a better base.
My main meal the next day will be 2 fried eggs over easy, cut in half & folded over with crumbled blue cheese in the middle. 1.5-2 slices of bacon (pre-cooked, frozen and microwaved) and a generous portion of fermented veggies. I alternate days with the meals. If I want something sweet, my naturopathic doctor told me to eat 1 teaspoon of extra virgin coconut oil along with a bite of chocolate bar (must be 70% cacao of higher).
Snacks are fruit, nuts and smoked ham, salami and 1/4 slice of cheese – rolled up with toothpick with brown mustard for dipping and 1/4 dill pickle. I dink almost 1 gallon of ionized alkaline water per day.

My recent favorite is a curry stirfry I threw together one day, almost by accident.
First you need some chicken. Personally I cook a whole bunch ahead of time, cube the cooked chicken after it’s done, and freeze it in a bunch of freezer bags. You can buy in bulk and save a lot of money that way, especially when it’s on sale.
So I toss some cooked cubed chicken, and a bunch of various vegetables in a big saucepan (usually green peppers, green beans, broccoli and carrots, but any non-leafy should work), cover with a can of coconut milk, and add maybe 1/4 cup of curry spice (to taste). Simmer for like 2 hours and you’re done. I usually make 4 meals worth at a time and it easily keeps 4 days in the fridge. Once it’s done, leftovers are 2min in the microwave away, with very little loss of taste.

There are some really yummy ideas on this blog.
As for my ideas, just off the top of my head…
One fast meal my husband always loves is a salad that includes meat and cheese, Romaine lettuce plus any other raw vegetables we have in the house, cottage cheese if we have it, plus other kinds of grated cheese, and bacon and/or small pieces of ham, beef, sausage, or chicken, and possibly hardboiled eggs, topped with a dressing.
Another super fast meal he likes, when in the mood for salmon or tuna, is composed by boiling and draining egg noodles and adding mayonnaise, seasonings, and salmon or tuna. Sometimes he straight up asks for it and loves it, and sometimes I suggest it and he makes a really disgusted face, so it’s only a success when it’s a success. 🙂 When I have frozen peas, thawing them under running water and stirring them into this dish is a good way to add a vegetable.
Since my husband does a lot of the cooking now that I’m working and he’s a full-time stay at home dad, he often likes to make roast beef in the roasting pan. For my husband, the only required element in any meal is the meat, so sometimes that’s all he’s prepared by the time I’ve finished work, and if I didn’t think about any vegetables ahead of time, I end up throwing together a salad at the last minute, or sometimes even just adding raw carrots and/or celery to consume with the meat. But if I happen to make it into the kitchen at least a couple of hours before the roast is done, I like to scrub and cut up some potatoes, and possibly other vegetables, and throw them into the roasting pan to let them simmer with the juices from the meat.
When our grocery budget is low and all we have is canned vegetables, my husband makes a wonderful pot pie with chicken or some other kind of meat, canned vegetables, and cream of mushroom soup. Sometimes we like just making it a shepherd’s pie by topping it with mashed potatoes, instead of using a crust.

I’m seeing a lot of ideas that aren’t designed by men that have just come home from work and are as tired as you can get.
As a single man that doesn’t really care too much for nasty carrots and lettuce, bane of all that is holy and sacred, I have quite a few recipes that I rely on to fuel the fires.
It should be understood that I am single, male and a blacksmith. As such, I really don’t care too much about pretty or fancy, and I can make do just fine with bacon and eggs. Eggs are good, but bacon fills all the necessary food groups.
Beef Rice: 1 can of Campbell’s Beef Stew, Chunky. Add one can of water. Simmer in a pot. Add enough regular, American white rice. Simmer until the rice is cooked. The more rice, the thicker it gets. I like it watery so there’s plenty to sop up with bread and butter.
This is a very filling meal and has all the vitamins and minerals a man could ask for. Some bread and butter to sop of the gravy is wonderful and only makes the meal more filling.
Ham Steaks and Perogie: Throw one ham steak in the oven on broil. Take one pack of Mrs T’s potato and cheese perogie and throw it in a pot of water to boil. Once the perogie have thawed, put them in a skillet with some sliced onions. Eat the ham steak and perogies, and be very happy with life.
Grilled Cheese: Using regular American cheese, add one or two slices to some buttered bread and make a proper grilled cheese sandwich. Maybe add some salami or pepperoni to the mix to spice things up. Make one can of tomato soup, being sure to add a splash of regular milk (none of that 2% shit!) to thin the soup a hair. Dip the sandwich in the soup to make life right!!
I have more if anyone’s interested.

Fry up some chicken breasts and slice them into cubes or strips. Then add teriyaki sauce (you can buy it at the store for maximum laziness) and dilute the sauce with olive oil. Serve with rice (You can also buy ready made rice at the store now–you don’t have to cook it. It’s more spendy but it saves a lot of time and energy spent washing dishes.

3. Get out a frypan or wok and get it hot.
4. Add a small amount of a fat, then bacon, let it render for about a minute, then FROZEN vegetables (From the packet) then the rice and spring onions. Keep the heat going. When the vegetables are fully thawed, meal. (I aim for about the same volume rice as veges. YMMV)

“Meat and potatoes” is a staple. Prepare meat by frying. Prepare potatoes by boiling.

Bannock bread. It’s normally a camping recipe that’s quick, easy, and forgiving to make. Thus, it’s also ideal for the kitchen as a fresh-baked bread recipe for bachelors.
1. Mix together dry ingredients first: flour and baking soda. Add wet ingredients next: water and vinegar. (Vinegar combines with the baking soda for leavening and also neutralizes the salty baking soda taste). Mix by hand into dough.
I don’t measure amounts, but you can find bannock recipes on-line to get you started on ratios. With about 2 cups of flour, it takes 5 minutes or less to go from separate ingredients to dough.
Tip: The main caution is don’t add too much liquid, which thins out the dough for a thin, not tasty bannock. Better to underwater at the start and add water as needed to achieve proper dough consistency.
2. Cook it.
2a. Bake it. Spread the dough on a pan or whatever you use to bake with. Spreading the dough thinner or thicker gives you a thinner or thicker bannock with different textures. Play around with it. I like to oil a baking pan which prevents it from sticking and bakes a crunchy crust. Pop it into your oven. Standard baking temp is 350 degrees, but the bannock turns out different when baked at different temps. Play around with the temp. It usually takes about 15 minutes. You can play around with time, too. Cook something else while the bannock bakes.
2b. Fry it. You can also pan fry the dough, which is more work than baking, but yields different textures. Play around with the temp. Also try frying the bannock in different amounts of oil.
In about 20-25 minutes start to finish, with about 5 minutes of work if you bake it, you’ll have fresh-baked bread for your meal.
Starting with the same bannock recipe, if you add tomato sauce, cheese, and whatever on top of the dough, you’ll make a bannock pizza. Add another layer of dough on top of the ingredients, and you’ll make a bannock hot pocket.
Tip: If you make a bannock pizza with an ingredient that cooks faster than the bannock but burns if cooked too long, then add the ingredient partway through cooking rather than at the start.

Freezer good. I freeze a lot. I do a CSA in the summer which means I get a shit-ton of vegetables, more than I can eat in a week, so I cook ’em and freeze ’em and bring ’em out during the winter. Simple steam or stir-fry and they’re ready in minutes. Pan-fry (don’t overcook!) a pork chop or a salmon fillet, add a small salad, and you’re good. Under 30 minutes.
I have a small notebook that I keep recipes in, including an awesome Rhode Island Clam Chowder that’s easy to do.
But one of my favorites, usually in winter is the simplest thing of all, with multiple benefits: a roast chicken. Yeah, I know you can get them pre-cooked at the store, but they suck compared with the real thing. Especially in season, I love roasting a chicken while watching football. And whole chicken (don’t go for the Perdue Roasters, they’re all hormones and water) is pretty cheap, even here in NYC.
Remove any package of organs that’s sometimes included in the cavity, season with salt (sea salt, kosher salt, or flavored salt–I have truffle and merlot salts), pepper and whatever else you like. I use garlic powder or chille powder) or stuff the cavity with herbs (rosemary or thyme sprigs, onion, and/or lemon or lime slices), drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and bang into a pre-heated 375 degree oven. Cook for about 50 minutes or so, basting every 10 minutes with the released fat after 20 minutes or so. It’s done when a knife inserted into the leg or thigh joint release clear fluid. I personally use an instant-read thermometer and cook to a breat temp of 45 to 50 degrees (ignore the government standards).
Let sit for 5-10 minutes and server with veg, salad, whatever. Thing is, you get at least four meals out of it, or a couple of meals and turn it into chicken salad. I just finished turning last Sunday’s roast chicken into chicken salad, which will be lunch for at least 3-4 days, and it took 20 minutes.
All guys should learn to cook. Get the basic pans and pot, and at least a really good quality chef’s knife. Learn some knife skills, it really makes a difference. It’s really not that hard. I have a tiny kitchen with almost no counter space and I cook nearly all the food I eat. A little effort, but it means freedom to me. Much less processed food and a cheaper, healthier diet. And, dare I say, it’s fun…
