Although I'm single, I also cook for a week in advance. My life is so full right now I have to do it that way or else I end up spending too much time at night making dinner! I'm also a vegetarian so I can't just pop a chicken breast into the oven and be done with it! I have discovered the magic of marinades!

You'll probably think I'm a nut but I've written up a few weekly menus in advance so that way I can just make a shopping list and I don't have to think too much about it. My sister (who has switched from Atkins to the GO Diet to Atkins to Carbohydrate Addicts...) thinks I'm a dork for eating the same thing practically every day but I really don't mind it.

BTW, she's not a vegetarian and always has things like pork loins, burgers, chicken breasts, and filets of fish in the freezer which she adds spices to and grills in the broiler. She might whip up a mayonnaise/vinegar/mustard "dip" or just vinegar and oil for the fish. It seems to work for her.
