What is your favorite or best easy recipe?

Well, I only know how to cook one thing, and that's French toast, so how about this:

Regular white bread, or you can get Texas bread, that's sometimes very good
Eggs
Cinnamon
Brown sugar
Cream or milk, either one

Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, and keep the egg whites in a bowl for beating. Save the yolks, maybe make scrambled eggs or something with them. After beating the egg whites, add cinnamon and milk to the mixture. Continue to beat until it's smooth. Now take out the bread and dip it into the egg white mixture, completely soaking the bread. Put a pan on the stove with either butter or Pam, and make sure that it's hot and ready. Place the soaked bread onto the pan, putting brown sugar on the side facing up. When the underside is fully cooked, it should be specklings of brown and cream colored, flip the bread over and let the other side cook.

I enjoy my French toast with strawberries, and sometimes powdered sugar or whipped cream on top.

Yeah, isn't that a little sad? I'm a grown man and the only thing that I know how to cook is French toast. My older sibling is a chef, and my entire family is fairly good at cooking, so I feel a bit ashamed of myself. HAHA! But you know what I make really good, too? Toasted sandwiches on croissants, I always bake them just the right amount and they always come out perfectly crisped.

I don't worry about delicious, I think what is best for muscle building. Or the old adage "abs are made in the kitchen".

So 10oz lean ground turkey mixed with soy sauce and cinnamon powder or li hung mui powder. Put in George Foreman Grill.


1/2 pint (8 or so egg whites) and 2 packets instant oatmeal, mix, microwave 2 min, stir, microwave a min and a half. It makes something that looks like a puff cake. Good, high in protein, like no fat, some good carbs, almost all protein, no cholesterol.

Can of salmon, miracle whip light, half pint of blueberries. Mix.


Meal replacement packet, scoop of glutamine, carton of yogurt, mix.

Spinach, steam lightly, mixed with a can of tuna and ranch dressing.

I have a salmon recipe on my blog too, "Senior Salmon".

I could publish a cookbook with everything I've created ...

Best go-to simple recipe in my file is Chicken Salad Spread.

1/2 cup chopped cooked chicken
2 tbsp. mayo/salad dressing
2 tbsp. chopped dried fruit
1 tbsp. chopped pecans or walnuts
dashes of five-spice-powder, powdered garlic, and sea salt

Blend all together, let chill in the fridge, serve on multigrain bread. Usually enough for two sandwiches.

Brocolli and Cheese Chicken Caserole (not sure I spelled that right

1 Pk. chicken breast (I buy boneless strips or breast cuts)
1 bag frozen brocolli or 1 fresh stalk
1 pk shredded chz of ur choice(i use colby-jack)
2 pks seasoned rice of your choice
1 green bell pepper
3-4 green oniions(optional)

Boil your chicken til nearly done. Put in strainer and run cold water over for about 2 minutes. Dice chicken into big chunks. Cook your rice until all the way done but not mushy.
Dice your bell pepper into small peices. Mix the rice, bell pepper, and chicken(and onion if u use it) into a bowl. Find a good baking pan(i use a glass one. kinda big but i dunno the exact size) and spray the bottom with canola oil lightly, Add your brocolli peices into the bottom of the pan( i keep mine fairly good sized but cut to your preference). Pour the chicken and rice mixture on top of the brocolli. Bake at 350 for around 20 minutes then take out and add the cheeze on top. Put back in the oven and bake on 400 for 10-15 or until cheese is starting to turn brown.

I usually cook this on the holidays without the chicken or add some turkey on thanksgiving. Everyone always loves it and gets disappointed if I dont cook it so now I feel obligated . Hope you like it. Use half of all the ingredients for only 1-2 servings and its a meal all by its self!

Well, I dont know how to make pancakes from scratch, but I can tell you a much better way to make them from the box.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie/
Strawberry Banana Milkshake
Strawberry Banana Smoothie Pancakes

1 cup frozen strawberries
1 chopped banana
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla flavoring
3 TBsp sugar
1/4 c plain yogurt(Use some of your favorite ice cream instead to make a bad ass milk shake but dont use it for pancakes )
1/4 milk

Blend this up in your fave blender or food processor until semi thick liquid(This is delicious by its self so consider this 2 different recipes )

Measure this out into a measuring cup to the measurement the pancake box says to measure water or milk. mix it with however much pancake mix u plan to cook. May have to add water or more milk if the batter is too thick. fry up like a regular pancake and your done. They come out a pink-ish color and very tasty!

My milkshakes:

ice
fat free milk
frozen snozberries
wee bit of sweetener

FAT FREE MILK SHAKES! neat huh?

secret to awesome beef: wee dash of cinnamon

My best easy recipe: kielbasa with peppers and onions

2 packages kielbasa (2 lbs)
1 each red, green, yellow pepper
1 onion

Slice the kielbasa into 1/2" thick slices. Cook in a frying pan on medium high till done. Drain and rinse with water, if necessary. Put back in the pan.
Clean and slice peppers and onions into strips. Dump on top of the kielbasa and cover for 5-10 minutes to steam the vegetables.

Serve

My Dad used to make this with potatoes, and it was really good, but I don't eat potatoes any more.

After dining at a certain Japanese place a few times, I developed this addiction to miso soup. However, where I live I would pretty much have to order miso online or drive an hour to get some. Also, I am unable to purchase shitake mushrooms locally. This causes a huge problem for me, as you might imagine.

Through trial and error and a little bit of research, I developed a mushroom soup that tastes pretty damn good. I don't think I could pass it off as miso, however it does have a flavor that is somewhat similar. It helps settle upset tummies and is awesome when you have a cold.

Here's the small portion recipe. I usually make double this:

3 cups of water, 2 beef bouillon cubes, 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce, 2 cloves of garlic(crushed), 5-8 slices of mushroom (I used baby bellas) and a dash or three of black pepper. Combine ingredients (excluding mushrooms) into pot and bring to boil. Wait until the bouillon cubes are dissolved, then add mushrooms. Cook for... about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add diced green onion just before serving and enjoy!

i just put my recipe for tonight's dinner on das blog

~bump~

One recipe that I love that I just discovered:

chicken thighs
equal parts honey and whole grain dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Brush or spoon honey and mustard mixture onto the thighs and under the skin (if applicable). Chicken in a roasting pan. Pan in the oven. 375 for 30 minutes, or until they're done.

This goes really well with roasted potatoes and carrots. Use baby potatoes, they roast the best. Cut them into equal-sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and italian seasoning and throw them in a pan. They take longer than the chicken, so put them in the oven first, maybe 20 minutes or so earlier.

the best/worst potatoes ever:

a whole mess of potatoes boiled
1 stick of butter
1 block of cream cheese
16 oz of sour cream
milk to thin

sooo good!

I grew up in a family that never cooked. I guess while I've been in college I've been trying really hard to learn how to cook. It's really fun and I always admire the home makers.

I have other recipes I'll probably add later.



Taco Salad:

We have a different version of taco salad here, but very similar to MuffysPinguLove. We crush up the chips put them down in the bowl first. Put down cheese. Put down meat that has been browned. Put down cheese. Put down salsa. Put down the extra cheese in the bowl. Stick in the bowl into hte oven at 350 for 10 min to melt the cheese and make the meal warmer. Scoop out what you want. Then add extra lettuce and crushed chips afterwards. Mainly because the lettuce doesn't hold up well in the oven and the chips get a lil soggy in the oven if there are lots of layers of them.


Tortillas:

Cut up zucchini and cut up squash and put them in a frying pan warming them up with olive oil. They'll start to look a lil transparent when they are ready. Usually I don't add chicken to this recipe, but you can add chicken as well.
In another pot warm up a can of corn and black beans mixed together.
Warm up tortillas then you may add the vegetables together on top of them. Cheese and sour cream are really good additives.


Recipe I recommend:

My changes in the recipe is half or fourth the horse radish, add some sour cream, and a little milk.


Longer recipe:

This takes longer to make, but usually you have a weeks worth of yummy left overs.
