Okay! I just want to let you know that I am single now and I hate it not because am single, rather I have this routines which I cannot take out in my system. One is that, my bf then is the cook in my apartment. I miss his dishes, real food. Second, my birthday is fast approaching and I will celebrate it without him. Of course, again no one will help me out preparing and cooking for my mini celebration.
I learned to cook because of him. But now that we broke up, I think I have a hard time motivating and encouraging myself to cook again. Whew!
Can anyone suggest me some great easy recipe?

Hello maean,
I suggest you to take a break from cooking. If you don't feel like cooking, then don't cook. You will surely find the motivation to put some love in your dishes again.
You should try to eat some unhealthy fast food for a while 
, you'll see how fast your taste for cooking will be back.

Oh my dear friend, thanks for that reverse psycho advise. ..I know that your suggestion really works because when am used to instant foods and fast food or unhealthy foods, I would yearn for real food. Of course, eventually I have to be encouraged to cook for a real one....I love that advise.

Oh, maean, you know I was a little afraid you are going to be angry with me because I tried to write in a cheerful mode.
I was trying to make you feel better.
I know how it feels after a separation, and I think sometimes we need somebody to push us out of that state of mind.
I hope you'll pass over this soon, and you'll regain your joy of cooking.
I wish you a Happy New Year!

Hi there again Mihaela! You should not worry about that cheerful mode my friend. Good thing for me was that despite what am going through, I wasn't that sensitive with what people say. I am more delighted because I am aware of what is happening. I know and time will tell that I can make it through.The only sad part is that, we have not talked since the break up. I mean, no official break up yet to speak of. And my friends have been telling me that my bf or ex would come back. I don't want to expect though I know him that much. I am thinking and focusing more of moving on now.

Hello Maean, as you know we are not allowed to post recipes here, but it's great that you can cook now, even if you broke up with him.
One more skill is never unimportant and you will see really soon how great is if you can prepare something delicious for yourself.

Men are world greatest cook. Having a man who cook at home is really a great blessing. But being a loner doesn't stop anyone from trying out new dishes. He has taught you the basic cooking and it is up to you be creative in your cooking. Practice makes perfect and through trail and errors you'll soon learn the secrets of cooking delicious foods.

You are right in there my friend. I think my problem now is that since the break was fresh, I think I am a little uninspired to cook. I only cook instant foods now just for the sake of eating, but am not motivated to cook the usual stuff we used to cook together.

Sorry about that...when I was single I didn't cook a lot either.
After work I usually just had a sandwich or a frozen meal.
My boyfriend also cooks every night so I got spoiled but if it wasn't for his cooking I probably drop a few more pounds.

When I was then in a long distance relationship, I am left here while my bf then was working abroad. I used to be eating out or taking home some food to eat at my apartment. I seldom cook. I only have time to cook on saturdays and sundays. But when I already have a live in partner, I was kind of encouraged to cook for him though I am not good and I try to because he is a good cook. He really do the real cooking. And that is what I missed a lot.

hello my friend. I suggest you forget about cooking for some days and enjoy food where you will really enjoy. After you have gone over this sentimental sorrow, you'll get want to start cooking all over again. then I advise you to start with something you love to eat. get help from a recipe book or the internet so as not to miss it.

Try your hand at Asian curries, they are delicious. There are different kind of curries like a mixed vegetable curry, chicken curry or a nice yoghurt curry. The easiest curry to make is an almond curry which doesn't take more than ten mins and is great for beginners. I can't post recipes here but if you search for it I'm sure you should easily find it on the Internet.

No problem with the recipe my friend. I only need a little information and then I can search it out in the net. At least, you gave me an idea. I love curry and I can do chicken curry. My ex bf is not into chicken curry then, but when I cooked for him, he liked and appreciated it. Such appreciations is what I miss.
