10 One Pan Dinners for Seniors Living Alone (Nothing to Wash, Noting to Scrub)

My cookbook, The Appalachian Kitchen with Ritsy Jean: https://ritsyjean.com When my neighbor Opal came home from hip surgery with nobody in the house, I wrote her ten suppers on ten index cards. Everyone cooks on one little pan, in a big oven, a toaster oven, or an air fryer, and I give you the air fryer times. Everyone lets you sit down while it cooks. And not one leaves a pan to wash, because the pan's lined with a sheet of paper you throw away. The tenth card isn't one supper. It's five, made on a Sunday afternoon and frozen. The ten: smoked sausage with cabbage and potatoes, cod and potato wedges from frozen, ham steak with sweet potato and a pineapple ring, pork chop with apples and onions, meatloaf for one, salmon patties with green beans, a bone-in chicken breast that isn't dry, Mama's fried potatoes with an egg baked on top, shrimp from a cold oven, and five Sunday freezer packets. Which ones freeze, which are salty, and how to size them for a smaller appetite.
