I can sure sympathize with that. Whenever my wife goes away for
conferences or visiting her family I have a hard time getting inspired
to cook just for myself. I tend to grill or BBQ with salads, or just
have soup and sandwiches. It is as much work to cook a meal for one as
it is for several people, and just as much work to clean up. It may
help to so something like lasagne and then freeze it to be reheated later.
