Posted: 10/24/2005 2:05:53 PM | I used to cook more, but it's a pain and there are too many leftovers.
I suggest you get some spices. I mix garlic powder, onion powder, coarse ground black pepper, and kosher salt in a 2:2:2:1 ratio, and I put it on a lot of things. It's great for frozen entrees, which are usually kinda bland. Even things like the packets of mix for ranch dressing can be used on popcorn
Chicken soup: add lemon pepper, a little lemon juice if you have it.
Canned chili: add chili powder, any mexican spices you have, some lime juice.
Etc.
I'm terrible about eating enough fruits and veggies. But I have a few ideas...
Also I add: canned mushrooms, bamboo shoots, raw onion, frozen veggies, water chestnuts, etc.
Fruit...Can of mandarin oranges: drain, add a few drops of almond extract, top with some cool whip. Toast a little coconut for topping if you're feeling fancy.
Canned pineapple: drain, add coconut extract and/or toasted coconut.
Salsa's great. There are a zillion varieties of mustards. Shrimp sauce, horseradish, even salad dressings can make a dish more palatable.
And generally, I look for single-serving type stuff. For example string cheese: I can open one without the rest starting to go bad.
OK, here's a recipe.
Tortilla: low carb Mission are the best, but whatever.
Lunch meat
Laughing cow cheese-1 wedge (if you can't find this, a little cream cheese is kewl)
Van De Walle salsa---drain.
2:2:2:1 spices.
Lettuce or raw onion if desired.
Nuke the tortilla for a few seconds to soften...it doesn't have to be warm
Spread the cheese evenly
Sprinkle the spices on the cheese
Add some salsa "chunks" and lettuce/spinach or raw onion etc.
Take a few slices of lunchmeat, enough to half cover.
Roll
Eat
Roast beef & brown mustard, ham with shrimp sauce...there are about a zillion combinations. Add a cup of soup and it's dinner.
Bon appétit! | |

with two pieces of bread or one folded in half you can make a sandwhich out of several condiments; some better than others:
soy sauce
taco sauce
katchup
catsup
a third piece of bread, ect | |

Posted: 11/1/2005 9:44:07 AM | Several years ago I invented "Lazy Man's Apple Crisp", ready in two minutes, start to finish.
1. Half bowl of Quaker Harvest Crunch, original recipe
2. Add three or four glooping, oversized tablespoons of sweetened apple sauce
3. Stir it up
4. Microwave for a minute-and-a-bit (to heat *and* soften the HC a bit with the AS)
5. Add a flop or two of ice cream
(http://www.icecreamusa.com/smarteating/default.asp?brand=smarteating)
6. Serve to little kids who can't tell the difference anyways.
This has already been published somewhere else, so contact me, Dallasguy, if you intend to include it in your book -- probably as a bad example... | |

Posted: 11/1/2005 10:10:12 PM | This thread actually made me laugh so hard...Don't get me wrong, I love to cook, but being a student and all, it is hard to sometimes stay awake long enough to make a fancy meal.
This is the least complicated recipe I know (besides eggs and rice):
Hamburger and Macaroni
Ingredients:
1 1b ground beef
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Vegesal or other seasoned salt
dash crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 large can (28 oz) of diced tomatoes
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 cups uncooked macaroni
Get a large pot of hot water heating and begin cooking the macaroni as per the directions on the macaroni package.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef in olive oil on hi heat. Add chopped onion, saute with the beef. Once the beef and onions are browned, lower the heat to medium. Add a dash of crushed red pepper. Add Vegesal or other seasoned salt. Add celery seed. Add canned tomatoes. Add Worcestershire sauce. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Add the drained and cooked macaroni and parsley. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
Serves 4. | |

drink half of the beer in the can then place it on a medium BBQ

Posted: 11/3/2005 10:12:48 AM | | interesting how u are ok cooking for others but can't take care of yourself. Be that as it may, I am leaning toward nutrition dense homemade power bars, just do an internet search for recipes. You will find a bunch. Lately, I have been sauteeing kale greens with olive oil and garlic and tossing with rice noodles. It's fast, very good and good for you. But typically, I eat frozen pizza or make a lentil soup with ham and bacon that will keep for awhile and which is easy to reheat and serve. I also like to make an apple crisp, make a bunch and eat that cold or reheat with ice cream. | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 10:13:17 PM | Two minute meals are my specialty. Quickest meals I do are:
1. Microwave an egg in a small cereal bowl
2. Pour a drained can of small green peas on top
3. Add good amount of ketchup, plus a bit of Chilli Sauce for Chicken and Worcestershire sauce, salt & fresh cracked pepper to taste
1. Cook up some white cheddar Mac&Cheese (I use President's Choice brand, it's Xcellent)
2. Add 2 or 3 tblspns of sun dried tomatoes
3. Add drained can of chunk tuna
4. Optional: add some cooked frozen peas (can microwave while cooking Mac)
5. Stir real well and serve.
This is amazingly delicious -- much better than it sounds
1. Heat can of favorite soup in very large bowl (soup should take less than half the bowl)
2. Add large amount of bagged salad
3. Stir well
This is delicious, nutritious, crunchy and filling. Don't knock it till ya try it
For those shaking their heads in disbelief, I do know how to cook... (Tonight being Sat, I cooked up a lip-smacking Thai Red Curry Chicken w Cashews). But being a bachelor means eating what ya like, and two of the above let you cook/eat in the same bowl. It's all about efficiency and time... | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 10:38:49 PM | ^^The first and third sound horrible. (where's the puke icon?)
But the middle one sounds like it might be good.  | |

| Bachelor food
Posted: 11/5/2005 10:55:54 PM | Well, ya gotta like the ingredients. If you do, try 'em before knocking 'em. You're right, the Mac&Cheese has won several hearts...
Clarification: "large amount of bagged salad" means a good handful from the bag, approx one cup. (use a sandwich baggie on your hand if you're too, er, "busy" to wash your hands. I wouldn't do that (washing's faster), but you might...) I add salad to several different soups, mainly because I want "plain ol' salad" (i.e. No Dressing) in my diet but it's not a fav. This way, however, works very well. But maybe that's just me. Still, as above, try before knocking. | |

Posted: 11/6/2005 2:00:06 AM | Glad to see how creative you guys can be. Not just dialing your favorite pizza place.
How about once a week cooking up a big batch of whatever you like then freezing it in individual portions to pop in the microwave for later in the week?
Super-sized hugs,

Posted: 11/6/2005 5:43:06 AM | | still trying to figure out how mixing salad into your soup would taste. Thinking,tomato soup with iceberg lettuce....ewwwwwww soggy wilted lettuce? Now if you used say, spinach greens in chowder, that could work. Interesting idea but I still think I would prefer to eat my salad seperate to my soup. Just because I like the crispness of it. | |
|
| Bachelor food
Posted: 11/7/2005 12:52:28 AM | I add the (iceberg) salad after heating the soup, immediately before eating. The lettuce remains crisp. If you like your soup scalding hot, that's different -- some wilting may occur and, of course, adding the salad cools the soup down considerably, to a decent scarfing temperature. Some won't like that (my mother, for example, complains the soup is cold if her tongue doesn't actually explode.)
The final judgment is yours; just try it. But tomato soup? Nah... I do this with Stagg's Chilli, "Habitant" (brand) French Canadian pea soup, and with those Smart Choice "hearty" soups.
I also serve stir-frys and currys (like my Thai Red Curry Chicken with Cashews and Pineapple) over salad instead of rice (lower carb, higher fibre). In my experience, hot nosh over crisp iceberg lettuce works great. For me.
