When cooking for one, I used to cook a couple nights/week the staples, and then reheat them. For example, I'd make a cous-cous salad thing on Sunday night, then pair it with a fresh cooked fish or chicken on Monday/Tuesday, maybe swap out the veggie (usually something steamed). That way, I only cooked the really quick/easy things on a given night. On wed, I'd cook a fancy rice dish that would end up making it into lunch for Thursday/Friday. It's all about a little planning and getting into the habit. I found that while cooking, I could watch some tv shows, or listen to some pod casts, etc...
