My friend is a carer for his disabled mother, with whom he lives.
He is desperately trying to lose weight, but is struggling against his mother's issues with food. She is severely over weight but refuses to recognise it and seems to deliberately sabotage my friend's attempts to eat healthily.
He now insists on cooking for himself most days during the week (his mother won't eat what he cooks), but the problem is that she will not let him keep any of his food in her fridge. He has some storage for dry goods and tins, but nowhere to keep left overs, or food that he has not cooked. There is nowhere that he can put another fridge for himself- no room in his bedroom and his mother will not permit one elsewhere in the house. He is able to go to the supermarket every day to buy fresh food, but going to a butcher or independent grocers is too much of a journey to do every day.
This presents a problem with lots of dishes- for example he cannot do something like a chicken stir-fry, because supermarkets only sell chicken breasts in packs of two, and with no fridge space, one would be wasted.
So suggestions please- for easy to cook, healthy dishes for one person that require no cold storage space.
