cooking and simplicity

hey tkav do you have any recipes that are a little more simpler b/c im the only 1 in my house who eats this way and I just dont want to spend a fortune in groceries buying certain things and only using them once. anything would be helpful because im so tired of eating the same thing over and over again. thanks!!!

heres what i would like you to do. pick out a recipe even one with wierd ingredients and try it. when your eating pay attention to the flavors you enjoy the most. now lets say you love hearts of palm and you have some left over. well use them.....cooking is about building flavors on top of each other. there is no reason you cant re use the same ingredient in 7 different meals. its all about finding the flavors you enjoy and putting them to use. i have work today but monday or tuesday ill see if i can get big chef in on this and well do something like iron chef..1 ingredient 5 meals with it.

I made your stuffed salmon last night and absolutely LOVED it. I'm going to give your slow cooker chicken a try tonight.

I have a huge thing for chocolate and peanut butter together.....any kind of reasonably acceptable deserts you can come up with? You can include protein powder too in that!

Got anything for swordfish steaks? I love all kinds of fresh fish.

Anything with 90/10 ground beef is phenomenal too. I'm making your stuffed bell peppers tonight

 

[SizeMeUp]

Just cooked the bell peppers. I have to say, I'm not a fan of green peppers but these things smell ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I'm going to put them to the test here in a few minutes when they cool off!!!!

From my experience, when I make Lasagne I always make it the day before and put it in the fridge. Reason, so it holds together. If you make it fresh on the day and whack it in the oven, it will fall apart. So lasagne is always made the day before to put it in the fridge.

I love lasagne's! This one is really yummy! Thanks Tkav

2 WORDS....STUFFED PEPPERS!!!!!!!

get urself a bunch of green bell peppers!

3 large cans of peeled tomatoes
2 cups uncooked brown rice
2 lbs ground meat
4 cloves minced garlic
1 yellow onion finely diced
1 cup finley chopped mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped scallions
salt pepper
2 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp parsley

first cook the rice and let it get cold
put the somatoes in a blender until its one consistancy

cut the tops off the peppers and bull out the seeds in the middle

in a big bowl mix the rice, meat,spices,garlis,onion, scallions...well u get the idea...everything but the pureed tomatoes.

if you want to you can use the canned tomato sauce , not flavored or anything just plain.

in a big, deep baking dish put some tomato puree on the bottom,
stuff the peppers with the ground meat(pack them tight without breaking the pepper)
place them tight together in the baking dish so it looks like they cant fall over.
pour the rest of the tomatoes over top.

the meat and peppers will flavor the sauce perfectly.

My other suggestion is meat balls!

1 lb ground meat
1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese
1 tbsp oregano
1 egg
3 cloves garlic minced
1/2 tbsp basil(try to chop ur own fresh)
2 slices of natural whole wheat bread(toast it on low 3 times then put it in a blender to make bread crumbs)
1 yellow onion chopped
1 tsp parsley.

in a big bowl mix everything except the bread crumbs...
try to make a meat ball
if it wont hold add the bread crumbs 1 tbsp at a time until it holds together.
in a non stick skillet use some pam and brown them off then finish them in the oven at 350 for 40 min (cook them IN your favorite sauce when you bake them)

Going to try the stuffed peppers..sounds awsome!
