Ever stand in front of an open fridge at six o'clock, look at an egg and a half an onion, and just close the door and eat cereal instead? I did that for eleven years after my husband passed, and I want to show you the three-ingredient dinners that finally pulled me out of it. 🍳

In this video I'm walking you through ten dinners I make on repeat — egg drop soup that costs about forty cents, a red lentil stew that can't spoil in your cupboard, a Spanish tortilla for a dollar ten that's even better cold at eleven at night. Along the way I'll tell you why cooking for one got so hard in the first place, what the USDA's Aunt Sammy radio program taught homemakers in 1927 that we've since forgotten, and exactly how much money the food companies have quietly talked us out of over the years. 🥔

Stick around to the end, because I also share the kitchen tricks that make these dinners possible even on the nights your hands or your hips aren't cooperating — sitting down to cook, using your electric kettle as a stovetop shortcut, and why frozen chopped onion is nothing to feel guilty about. If any of this sounds like your kitchen, subscribe so you don't miss the next lesson — I'm adding new cheap, easy suppers every week.

Marlene Senior Kitchen is where I share fifty years of solo-cooking tricks so eating well alone never feels like a chore again.
