My fiancé thinks I am a gourmet chef. He is terribly wrong – I’m decent at best – but he’s been cooking for himself for so long that his poor little tastebuds are pretty warped. He lived on a diet of Spaghettios coupons and cereal and those little microwavable pizza rolls for a loooooong time before he met me. We began talking about his previous culinary experince the other night and came up with this hilarious list of bachelor-approved dishes.
Mac n’ Cheese. Preferably Easy Mac, because it goes from cupboard to stomach faster, though any kind will do. You’d be surprised how versatile this childhood favorite is – you can add salsa and make it Mexican. You can add barbeque sauce or Sriracha sauce to it. Or, here’s a helpful tip from bachelor-land: you can mix in Doritos or potato chips to make the dish crunchier. MMMMMMM.
Quesadillas. Microwaves and prepackaged tortillas are a single man’s best friend. All you need to put dinner on the table is some kind of meat, some kind of cheese, a tortilla and a minute in the microwave.
Ramen. This is self-explanatory.
Cereal cocktails. No booze in this one, actually. But when you get bored of Captain Crunch and Trix on their own, you can mix up different cereals in varying proportions for a different flavor. My fiancé still make a cereal cocktail for breakfast every day, with no less than four kinds of cereal in a single bowl.
Swanky Spaghettios. Sure, Spaghettios coupons are easy – but if you want to turn up the heat, add a chopped jalapeno before the Spaghettios hit the microwave and top them with grated cheddar.
If you have other hilarious (and potentially unappetizing) bachelor menu items, I'd love to hear about them -- leave 'em in the comments section.
