Keep in mind it's different cooking for just yourself when your focused on just health, rather than other people who have different priorities.
For example, when I was younger I used to live in an apartment 40 minutes walk from the city where I worked. Most evenings I'd walk home past a fish and chip shop and buy two large potato fritters / potato cakes with chicken salt. Five minutes later I was home and I'd blanch some broccoli for 60 seconds while microwaving an entire can of baked beans (with white pepper mixed in).
That was my dinner about three nights a week. It's a healthy and delicious meal with about the same protein as a steamed chicken thigh... and I always looked forward to it. Pure soup spoon comfort food.
It was perfect for me, but not suitable for most fussy girlfriends or dinner guests.
If you're cooking just for yourself, don't forget to keep it simple if you want to. Some oven fries, baked beans and roast carrot or broccoli is perfect when you're not trying to impress others. So is a simple frozen pasty with ketchup and baked beans on the side.
If you love Italian meals, I'd recommend you learn how to make pasta e fagioli / pasta fazool. It's essentially a vegetarian, one-pot, tomato pasta stew that contains mainly cannellini bean (white beans) and pasta shells with some baby spinach or broccolini and Parmesan cheese thrown in at the end. 'Literally takes 60 seconds to prepare, is rich, cheesy, spicy, thick, famous Italian comfort food with the freshness of green vegetables that's flavored with chicken stock, oregano, garlic and onion powder and seasoning... and has the protein of a chicken thigh because of the beans and the cheese with almost no washing up. Another soup spoon comfort food recipe. PM me if you want my recipe.
God bless you and your family.
