I live alone so it's a pain to cook just for one person. How about you?

Oh, it's tough. I cook myself everyday, but if I'm tired, I go to convenience store to buy packed foods.

自然な表現

Oh, it's tough for me too. I cook for myself every day, but if I'm tired, I go to a convenience store to buy frozen meals. 

1. You should respond to the other speaker more directly or accurately.
2. Inserting "for" here can enhance the nuance and smoothness of the sentence.
3. "Every day" is different from "everyday". "Every day" is an Adverb while "everyday" is an Adjective.
4. "Store" is a Countable Noun so you need an Article (or a Possessive Determiner). Countable Nouns can't stand alone in the sentence.
5. "Frozen meal" is a common, fixed expression in English.
Cooking every day, and thinking about what to eat is indeed exhausting! What kind of foods do you typically cook these days?

I typecally cook dried fish. I only grill it 10 minutes as main dish. Dried fish is japanese traditional food which pickling in salt and drying outside for a week or more. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time.

自然な表現

I typically cook dried fish. I only grill it for 10 minutes and eat it as the main dish. Dried fish is traditional Japanese food that has been pickled in salt and dried in the sun for a week or more. It can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time.

1. You misspelled this word.
2. Don't omit "for" here because it would make the sentence quite casual.
3. You should add more clarification of what you mean.
4. "Dish" is a Countable Noun so you need an Article (or a Possessive Determiner). Countable Nouns can't stand alone in the sentence.
5. You should move "traditional" because origin i.e. "Japanese" often comes last in the sequence of Adjectives.
6. You don't need "which" here because the Noun isn't specific.
7. You need the Passive Voice here.
8. You need the PP form for the Passive Voice.
9. The word "outside" is too specific here.
That's a good idea as you only need to make it once and then not have to worry about making it again for a period of time. What do you normally eat with the dried fish?

I eat rice with the dried fish. It's very delicious! Only grilling it, there is great and traditional main dish at dinner.
However, the dried fish contains much salt. We need attention to our health.

自然な表現

I eat rice with the dried fish. It's very delicious! Only by grilling it, there's a great and traditional main dish for dinner.
However, dried fish contains a lot of salt. We need to pay attention to our health and consume salt moderately.

1. Don't omit "by" here because it would make the sentence unclear.
2. Try to use Contractions as much as you can to sound more natural.
3. "Dish" is a Countable Noun so you need an Article (or a Possessive Determiner). Countable Nouns can't stand alone in the sentence.
4. "For" is the appropriate Preposition in this context.
5. You don't need an Article here because this is a general sentence.
6. "Much" is often used in negative sentences i.e. "not".
7. You need to specify "pay" because it's not clear.
8. You should add more clarification of what you mean.

Note: Your sentences are grammatically correct until this point, but please double-check the meaning of "grill".
I see. I like easy-to-make meals, especially during the week. Which are your favorite meals to make for breakfast?

My favorite meals to make for breakfast is french toasts with a cup of coffee.
It has a perfect balance of sweet and bitter.

自然な表現

My favorite meal to make for breakfast is French toast with a cup of coffee.
It has a perfect balance of sweet and bitter.

1. You need a Singular Noun to match a Singular concept.
2. You should capitalize Proper Nouns or names.
3. "Toast" is Uncountable so you don't need "s".
Sounds delicious! Do you use any special ingredients in your french toast to complement the coffee's bitterness?

I use black sugar in my french toast to complement the coffee's bitterness. Black sugar is also japanese traditional seasoning. It tastes mellower than white sugar.

1. The Preposition "on" is useful when referring to something that touches the surface.
2. You should capitalize Proper Nouns or names.
3. Non-physical traits i.e "traditonal" often come before origin i.e. "Japanese" in the sequence of Adjectives.
4. You should capitalize Proper Nouns or names.
