Yes, absolutely! We have to police ourselves. Hence the commonly heard advice, never shop while hungry. (For me it would be BBQ flavor chips, yuck :)

I definitely fall into the category of eating rubbish when alone. It's never intentional, but that's the problem - I'm not intentional. I'm hungry after work, so I graze on whatever is in sight (usually a processed carb) until I'm not hungry anymore. And later, I can't tell you what I ate for "dinner."
But if I am intentional, one-dish, one-pot meals are definitely the best! I'm really concerned with eating a balanced meal, but making a main and sides for one is daunting, so a dish like stir-fry is the perfect balance.
P.S. Love what you did in your picture, with the bowl on the book. Clever :)

My recent post Oranges with Lavender and Mint

Hi Kim! I'm passing your blog on to my mom, as she recently started her own blog about the adventures of cooking from a CSA box. The pasta bake looks delicious! And don't worry too much... I also hated eggplant as a kid, but love it now :)
