Reddit mentions of A Man, a Can, a Microwave: 50 Tasty Meals You Can Nuke in No Time: A Cookbook (Man, a Can... Series)

The man's version.

Try this one first, I got it as a gift from my mother when she realized I will never learn to cook like a "normal" person: https://www.amazon.com/Man-Can-Microwave-Tasty-Meals/dp/157954892X

> microwave cooking for one

If anyone can't find it at Goodwill, it's available on Amazon.

This book will help you

There is even an extra easy version

I'm 40 and married but I was 25 and single.

It's hard to narrow it down really. Suffice it to say I had two "cookbooks" on my counter:

• A Man, A Can, A Plan
  
• A Man, A Can, A Microwave
  
  As my wife likes to point out, what made this even sadder and pathetic than it appears is that I have culinary training. I'm just lazy as fuck when I get home and if I'm not grabbing take out, my appetite for cooking effort is less than zero.

When I went to college I was given a book called "A Man, A Can, and A Microwave"

As others have said, I think your best bet would be lots of pasta (cup ramen was pretty staple during college). You could also use the blender to make lots of creamy soups from cans.

Also, you should thumb through this book or one like it at your local bookstore for some more ideas.

Coincidentally, I was thumbing through A Man, A Can, A Microwave just last night. I have yet to try any of the recipes, but they seem like they might be helpful here.
