Freeze it together with the sauce. If the bags are the kind you can
also boil, it makes it dead simple to reheat. Just dump it in a pot
of hot water in the bag until reheated.
As for cooking with one hand... hmm... that is difficult. I don't
really have any advice for you there, I can't imagine trying to cut
anything with just one hand, too dangerous. Unless you can enlist a
minion for cutting, I'd suggest getting pre-cut ingredients from the
grocery store and then just assembling them instead of cutting
anything. You can get a lot of different products already cut up
these days so that should make things easier. Baby vegetables that
don't need much prep that can be steamed or sauteed help a lot too.
