I do the hash browns with scrambled mixed in for dinner when I am lazy. I keep the preshred potato on hand for such a purpose. Maybe twice a week! I add different things to keep my interest up.

sry OTB i've got to ruin the trend for ya... I'm the young guy that eats too easily out of one pan if i want :P

1 pot/plate Rice Pilaf.

Take 1 metal pot/Corningwear that can go into the oven (NO PLASTIC HANDLES!)

0) pre-heat oven to 350 farenhite (i'm metric if thats bad spelling ;P )

1) throw 1.5-2 tablespoons of olive/vege/canola oil (may be spiced oil for pleasure) into hot pot and add half a cup of diced (small squares are best) onion. Should be done on medium/ medium high, cook untill slightly transparent.

1) Take 1 cup (or make multiples of this recipe) Basmati Rice (or long grain) and toss in hot pan with onion for 1-2 minuites untill all rice covered with oil and light nutty aroma is present.

2) Add 2 cups water or stock (chiken or vegetable I find best, and powders work great). and bring to a boil on medium high.

3)take off the stove and cover (tin foil if no lid) . Then place into the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or untill all liquid gone. (you can go do something else for a while or grill something to go with

uncover and let it sit for 305 minutes before serving. (in the same pot )

good eat, great life.

I am a big fan of one pot meal

Here is one of my favorite snacks:


Beer

Open bottle
sniff aroma of malt and hops
think about getting a glass
saying screw that, it will just be another thing to wash at the end of the week
Take first swig, several swigs actually
look at bottle and see that 2/3 have been swallowed at first taste.
enjoy the rest, slowly
when hunger sets in, go for another beer

Im becoming a master at 15 min meals with whatever is in the fridge and cupboards.Pasta is the easiest, always have spices and white wine to cook with so by the time I have the noodles done I have some kind of sauce ready and its diffferent everytime.Of course when its really really good I always seem to forget everything I put in and cant duplicate it....

It seems now days you can buy anything ethier caned,frozen , or pre-made in a bag. I tried pre-cooked pasta the other day, I don't recomend it
The pre-made sauce was ok.

Can anybody tell me what spices to use when making chow main??

This is a recipe from one of Hom's cookbooks ... should give you an idea of what spices to use. Will check my other Chinese cookbooks and see if there are any other recipe ideas using other meats.

Chow Mein (courtesy Ken Hom)
Preparation time - less than 30 mins
Cooking time - 10 to 30 mins


Ingredients
225g/8oz egg noodles
2 tbsp sesame oil
100g/4oz chicken breast, skinned
2½ tbsp finely chopped garlic
50g/2oz mangetout, trimmed
50g/2oz Parma ham or cooked ham, finely shredded
2 tsp light soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
½ tsp salt
½ tsp freshly ground white pepper
½ tsp sugar
3 tbsp finely chopped spring onions
2 tsp sesame oil

For the marinade
2 tsp light soy sauce
2 tsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tsp salt
½ tsp freshly ground white pepper

Method

1. Cook the noodles by boiling them for 3-5 minutes in a pan of boiling water. Drain and plunge into cold water, drain again then toss with a little sesame oil.
2. Using a cleaver, slice the chicken breasts into fine shreds approximately 5cm (2 in) long.
3. To marinate the chicken, combine the chicken with the light soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
4. Mix well and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
5. Heat a wok until it is very hot. Add one tablespoon of oil and, when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add chicken shreds.
6. Stir-fry the mixture for about two minutes, then transfer to a plate.
7. Reheat the wok, and add remaining oil. Add the garlic and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the mangetout and ham and fry for one minute.
8. Add noodles, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, salt and pepper, the sugar and spring onions and continue to stir-fry for two minutes.
9. Return chicken to noodle mixture.
10. Continue to fry for 3-4 minutes, until chicken is cooked.
11. Stir in sesame oil and give a few final stirs.
12. Turn onto warm serving platter and serve at once.

My favorite low-fat/cal recipe is:
Cook some whole grain rice in a pan.
Mix a 4 Oz. can of pre-cooked chicken in it.
Pour in a can of Cream of soup. (I like cream of chicken)
Add a half bag of frozen veggies and cook.

It actually doesn't taste bad, is healthy, and only dirties up one pan.
If you don't like the taste you can always just add hot sauce until the taste disappears.
