A lot of the problem with cooking for one is the waste and expense of getting all of the ingredients for a small meal, so i always tried to make enough that I could save and freeze or eat as lunch the next day. I have a pressure cooker(crockpot) which I think is great for making things that you dont have to be present for, I dont know if you have one or know someone who does, but you can make a lot of good meals from recipes online, I have made chicken cacciatore, chili, pot roast, beef stew, chicken soup and so many other things.
i think the foreman grill is ok, but mine is getting kind of old and worn down. the lack of temperature control on my foreman grill is the big negative for me, but I dont know about the new models. Basically mine starts out cooking well, but as I continue to cook, the heat just keeps going up and starts overcooking everything.
