Solo Nights: What’s Your Guilty Dinner Secret?

I’m the main cook in our home, and honestly, I love it—planning meals, prepping for the week, and making sure dinner is on the table for my partner and me. But here’s my little confession: when my partner travels for work and I’m left alone for dinner, something in me just…unravels. Suddenly, the kitchen isn’t a place for balanced meals or thoughtful recipes. It’s my playground for guilty pleasures. Tonight, with no one around, I skipped the veggies and protein, and instead, I found myself at the store grabbing instant noodles, a tub of ice cream, and a bottle of cheap wine. I curled up on the couch, binge-watching dramas, slurping noodles, and not caring about nutrition for once. So, to all the primary cooks out there: when you’re alone, do you treat yourself to something fancy, or do you go full comfort food mode like me?
