The food thread

Recipes, what you're having for dinner, the delicious icecream you discovered, anything!

Today I'm having baked potatoes, corn, and a veggie burger made of whitecaps (with honey, walnuts, goats' cheese, thyme in it). I'm just going to throw it all in a big pan so the flavours get all over each other like a culinary orgie, and maybe some tabasco to make it a little spicy.

 

I am thinking of having spaghetti and meatballs tonight with wheat spaghetti tonight.
I'm not sure what I want to do for lunch though.

 

Pork fried rice

 

I'm definitely not the cooking type, but I recently came up with my new favorite dish. I guess you could call it a potato/vegetable omelet. Pan fry some sliced potatoes and random vegetables (I like green peppers, cucumber, onions, carrots). Then add in a few scrambled eggs mixed with a bit of water and salt/pepper. Cook for a few minutes and turn over. Then cook for a few more minutes, and serve with any combination of cheese, ketchup, hot sauce.

Cheap, quick, and easy.

 

I've just recently started enjoying cooking. So far pretty much all I can do is pan-fry chicken and make salads. Anyone got suggestions for a simple healthy dish that can help me learn my way around the kitchen?

 

I'm totally lazy in the kitchen. But I'm also alone, so I have to mind portions, and I don't have a big fridge or cooling block.

So I usually get stuff in cans, like veggies and fish. Or vegetarian alternatives, since they last longer. I cook everything in one big pan, if I can.

But my favourite dish is shrimp, noodles, a Chinese veggie mix and this packet of shrimp stuff that you put in the cooking water and the flavour gets in the noodles. Looooots of lemongrass and also some general fish spices, absolutely delicious. And easy to make, too. As long as its easy and prepackaged, you can make a lot of stuff taste good.

We ate Boiled potatoes and xxl bbq sausages. No vegetables, he doesn't like them and I had some in my soup.

 

Don't now what I'm having tonight. Eating isn't an event for me, more like a means to stave off death and that's it.

 

Tomatoes in quisdillias seems to be kind of a hit and miss. maybe I needed more cheese...

 

Had some mini sized coconut shrimp poboys for dindin today

 

Anyone have any low-carb, low-sugar, low-starch recipe suggestions for a Steak-n-Potatoes Gal?
((*hates dieting. loves food*))

 

Did you say spaghetti?
Are you open to a bit of inspiration?
This spaghetti recipe is wonderful! Stuffed tomatoes are soooo good. I bet meatballs with the recipe would also be great. I typically make mine vegetarian.

 

hmm i shall have to put up a few recipies ....

That pork sounds fantastic

 

id reccomend getting a good wholegrain mustard though as cheaper ones can make it a bit bitter due to the viniger in the mustard

 

I'm feeling exceptionally lazy today….

I strained a can of chickpeas, put some sherry vinegar on them, put them back in the can and ate them.

 

Pussy. Not very filling but satisfying.
