Great food for those who hate to cook, lack experience or time, or just like easy stuff

iamkeri1 · 01-30-2010, 11:49 PM

I have been posting on threads where there are some yummy recipes for us all to share, but some of them have tons of ingredients, and frankly, I don't want to work that hard. Most of the recipes I use (what am I talking about - I don't use recipes - I just throw things in the pot!) are very simple and have few ingredients. This thread will be for food that you can prepare quickly, or just leave alone once it has started cooking, or that maybe doesn't get cooked at all.

This is a snack my kids love, but I invented it as something quick to serve to dates after a night on the town back when I was a young Femme.

Ingredients for each treat
1 slice of bread
1 slice of bologna (make some one inch cuts around the
outside to keep it from curling)
1 slice of a medium sized ripe tomato
1 slice of the white stringy cheese of your choice.

Assembly:
bread on bottom,
slice of bologna on top,
slice of tomato on top of that,
and finally the cheese.

Sprinkle on a little paprika, or cajon spice if you like, and stick in your toaster oven. Toast until cheese melts - that takes about the same time as it takes to toast a slice of bread. Variations are endless - it works especially well with cappicola, ham, or genoa salami.

How could I have forgotten my favorite food, and the simplest of all meals? I was an adult before I started likeing spaghetti sauce. As a child my mother always fixed me a separate bowl without sauce - with a generous serving of butter (actually I prefer margarine)

Buttered Spaghetti

Boil about 3 quarts of water. Add about 1/4 lb spaghetti noodles; boil till "al dente" (cooked, but firm.) Drain it (I use a colander to avoid burning myself.)Put it in bowls (this will serve two people.) Add as much butter, salt and pepper as you like and start eating. Hubby liked it with chunks of processed cheese melted into it (one minute in the microwave). Several of my kids like it tossed with parmesan cheese. Me, I'm a purist - I just like it with butter.
Smooches,
Keri

Hi Keri,

There is a cookbook that is 1,2, & 3 ingrediants only. Also, if you go online you can pull up some of these online. Rosie does this alot. I am on a special diet because of my kidney disease. Everything is going topsy turvey for me now. But for you and your kids, I would check out the crockpot receipes as well.

Also, my Grandmother made spaghetti the same way you do! That sure did bring back some good memories! Thank you for posting that.

Love,
Andrew

I'll 2nd crockpot recipes. They are the easiest things to make. Basically, fill the crockpot early in the morning, set it to low-med and let it cook happily on it's own throughout the day. By dinnertime, it's ready.

I usually just search online for easy stuff.. http://busycooks.about.com/od/favori...itecrockpo.htm

Blade · 01-31-2010, 10:59 AM

OK I can do this too.

1 box elbow mac boiled
3 boiled eggs cut up
1 can small early peas

mayo to taste
vinegar to taste
celery salt, salt and pepper to taste
I also use garlic or garlic salt.

Yummy snack
You can put cubed ham, cubed cheese or olives or cherry maters or about anything else in there you like. At any rate it only takes as long as it takes the elbow mac to cook to prepare

Abigail Crabby · 01-31-2010, 11:13 AM

I like to cook

there are some things I shouldn't ever cook - fried potatos for one lol

but others I excel at

I workd 10 - 7 and I get hungry for something good - so I googled easy receipes and found a site dedicated to the hungry, and short on time college student lol

Here's a receipe I've tried and it worked well.

Oven Fried Chicken

Better than the Colonel's own!!! And you don't have to use all that grease to get crispy chicken-just the right topping will do. Wash and skin chicken. Beat one egg in a small bowl. Add spices to the egg mixture. Place bread crumbs in a plastic bag-that's right, a plastic bag. Dip each chicken piece in the egg mixture, then place chicken into the plastic bag. Shake the bag until the chicken is covered with bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for 45 min.

The_Lady_Snow · 01-31-2010, 11:32 AM

Rip bag open with teeth...

Boil water...

Do not watch it boil, cause it will piss you off

add noodles...

Kick boy around

add secret season Ramen spices

enjoy feet propped on boy..

A nice orange kool aid goes good with this tasty treat

Blade · 01-31-2010, 11:32 AM

any meat in the oven is basically set it and forget it LOL.

I use country ribs, you know the thick ones w/wout bones
cup of water in a pyrex dish pour over BBQ sauce
350 degrees for about an hour or until tender.

Cube steak beef/deer
pyrex dish cream of mushroom soup or soup of choice
350 until done serve with rice or mashed taters

stew meat beef/deer or a london broil roast cut in half
any soup, best is onion soup or cream of mushroom or just regular brown gravy mix. Throw it in the crock pot with some water. Cook until done. If you use brown gravy or just use thickening put your veggies in there too.

Did I put this in the right thread?

Abigail Crabby · 01-31-2010, 01:19 PM

~ 1 -2 rabbits, cut into pieces
~ 3 - 4 tbsp butter
~ flour
~ seasoning salt
Remove all bones and tendons from the rabbit. Rinse well.

Spread the meat onto a cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and beat with a meat mallet to tenderize and flatten.

Melt the butter in a large skillet.

Dredge the meat pieces in flour then add to the skillet.

Season to taste with seasoning salt.

Cook until lightly browned. Flip and brown other side.

Cover for a few minutes.

Do not overcook! Rabbit is done when you cut into it and don’t see blood.

Serve and enjoy.

Sachita · 01-31-2010, 01:39 PM

OMG you guys are funny. I think hating to cook is one thing. Lack of time isnt. There's always time to fix "something". What about your health? ::

::

Ok listen up, this is the list I give my niece, son, young family members that wont cook but need to save money, rather then eat out and still reasonably healthy.

Get apple, grape and pomegranate juice. Mix them if needed, just make sure you get 4-6 oz.

Eat a banana or get banana baby food. I often buy pears, bananas, etc in baby food because I can get organic and sometimes can't get fresh. You can put wheat germ, granola, buts anything. Try it, its easy and a nice treat.

Buy Macaroni salad from deli. Dump in a can of Tuna. If you like them, add a can of baby peas.

Bag salad, any kind, dump in bowl, cut up cheese, ham, turkey, etc. but dont's forget the cukes and tomatoes.

Pita Pizza - buy pita and freeze what you are not using. It will defrost fast, if not you "can" do this frozen although not as good. Take whole pita, open a jar of spaghetti sauce, spread on thick. Top with goat cheese or any cheese. Heat in over or nuke. You can get fancy with this, add mushrooms, veggies, anything.

Tacos- everyone can make these but they are a lot more healthy if you use flour tortillas. Do not forget the veggies. Instead of iceberg use romaine. You can use chicken or if you want meat and healthy buy small packs of organic bison or ground turkey. Bison packs are fast to defrost and lower in fat, higher in protein. Really really good.

Buy Super Veggie Juice, not V-8 but if you can't then v-8 low sodium. You can heat and drink. For a real treat stir in goat cheese when its hot. It will make it creamy. You can even use this as the base for almost any tomato sauce.

omg I have so many quick easy recipes. You could eat healthy, cheap and fast with no problem. Just plan a little ahead.

I personally wouldn't ever eat a bunny - but I figured this was the easy thread and some peeps do lol

iamkeri1 · 01-31-2010, 03:18 PM

Preheat oven to 360 degreesF
1 eight inch square cake pan (ungreased)
6 eight inch flour tortilla
1/2 pound peal and eat shrimp - salad shrimp works great too.
3 firm and crispy (really freah) green onions cut into 1/4 in chunks
1/2 pound grated white melty cheese of your choice

Lay the tortilla on a flat surface. To each tortilla add a handful of shrimp, a sprinkling of onion and a bunch of cheese. (It's recipe for six, so you would add approximately 1/6 of each ingredient to each tortilla) Roll each torilla and lay it edge down in the cake pan. Sprinkle any left over shrimp bits, onion or cheese on the top. If you like LOTS of cheese, spread some more melty cheese on top. Put in oven, heat till cheese melts (about 20 minutes) Don't overcook it,

PS this is a really sexy meal to eat (being all drippy with cheese and all.) It's great for aseduction, if you know what I mean. Start with licking the cheese off each others fingers and go from there. Y'all can figure it out.
Smooches,
Keri
