Alternatively, you might consider a vacuum packaging system. The company that makes system promotes its bags as boil-in bags as well as freezer containers. Vacuum removal of air extends storage life of frozen foods. I found one such system under $40.00 at DmartStores. Replacements bags are about $16.00 for three, 66-bag, rolls.

Don't forget to label bags and store them flat while freezing for easy stacking.

4. Eat what you've grown in your garden.

Food you've grown yourself feeds your body and your spirit. Even smallest patio has room for a few pots of tomatoes and spicy peppers, and watching plants mature and produce fruits and vegetables is something to look forward to every day. Freeze excess produce.

5. Share frozen meals with a friend.

Trade frozen meals with a friend (whom you have prequalified as a good, or at least acceptable cook). You'll both benefit from a change in diet.

6. Eat out!

But don't eat alone. While working as a veteran road warrior, I spent many weeks away from friends and family. I often ate in fine restaurants, but it was never same as eating with a pleasant companion. So take initiative -- invite a friend out for lunch or dinner.

Remember, cooking for one is not problem. Loneliness and living in memories are, but you can move away from them and toward enjoying meals again.
