If you are single like I am, you are missing out on the one thing that every guy wishes they had, and that is a woman to cook for them. I am certainly not implying that men can't cook, or that the only purpose of a woman is to cook, but if women weren't the better cooks, why am I going to my mom's house for dinner whenever I can? However, if you are single, and you don't know how to cook, there are some easy meals that you can make.

Pasta is really easy to make, therefore, all you need to do is know a few basic recipes. Throw some pasta into a bowl of boiling water, and wait for a few minutes. After that, just throw your favorite sauces on top of it. Throw alfredo sauce on it to make a good alfredo, or pasta sauce to make some spaghetti. You can use all kinds of pasta to accomplish whatever you want to make, and use almost any toppings to make a good meal.

The soup and sandwhich is a great easy meal for guys. Just take a can of  tuna, and make a can of soup, and you have a great meal. Not only can you have the soup from a can,but you can make a soup really easily. Just take any of your favorite vegetables, chop them up, and add them to your favorite broth. You can even blend some vegetables like squash to make a squash soup.

Salads are really good, and they can be whole meals too if you are in the mood for one. Either you can buy one at most grocery stores, or you can make your own salads. There are many salad varieties such as fruit, potato, macaroni, or tossed vegetable. They are cost effective, and you can make them relatively quickly from scratch as well.

You also have your traditional meals like French toast, and eggs. All you have to do is break the egg from the shell, put it in the frying pan, and make it to your standards. French toast is just bread, margarine, and egg, and some syrup on top of course. You can also make sausage, bacon, and toast with ease. Anything breakfast related should be relatively easy to make.

If you are a single guy, you should have no trouble making your own meals. You might not be able to make something gourmet, but how many of us really can? However, that doesn't mean that you can't make your own meals, and that you can't eat somewhat well. If you are good at tossing fruits into a bowl, or vegetables into a broth, you should be OK.
