Anyone have some good recipes?

I use www.allrecipes.com---and I love it!

Ok, I just answered a question regarding cooking and her is my best answer. . .BUY A CROOK POT!!! If you put a whole chicken in before you go to work for 8 hours when you get home the chicken will be cooked! All you need to do is cook whatever else you need, rice, veggies, salad, etc. I am a single mom and I ADORE my crook pot!! Even now that my kid is in college, she lives at home, I put food into the crook pot before I leave home and she can eat before she goes to work and I have food when I get home from work. There are a lot of models. Mine has a 4, 6, 8 and 10 hour cooking time and an automatic warmer for when the cooking time is done.

I would invest in a crock pot that way you can just throw in some ingredients and make soup, stew, chili, sloppy joes, pasta sauces, a roast...etc turn it on low let it cook during the day and should be ready by supper time.

My favorite receipe: Cheesy Potato Hot Dish

1 pound ground beef

6 medium sized potatoes

1 can Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup

1 can Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup

1 cup of water

garlic salt, onion salt to season beef with

butter or margarine to grease crockpot with

Velveeta

Season ground beef, fry, drain, set aside. Peel, rinse and cube potatoes. Put half the cubed potatoes in the bottom of the greased crockpot. Put browned ground beef on top of that. Add remaining half of potatoes. In a mixing bowel empty the 2 cans of cream soup and mix with a cup of water. Pour cream soup mixture on top of potatoes. Cook on low for 8-10 hours; during the last hour you can add cubes of velveeta cheese according to taste.

Lasagna rolls. Easy and very tasty. 1 pound of ground beef 1 pound of ground pork. Heat pan drizzle with olive oil, brown meat drain, set aside in a large mixing bowl. To the meat add one package of 5 italian shredded cheese, mix. Take on package of lasagna noodles cook they still need to be firm so immediately place them in an ice water bath. Set aside. In a frying pan drizzle olive oil add 2 tablespoons of chopped garlic. Stir around then add one package of fresh spinach cover and let the spinach wilt all the way down. Add one jar of sundried tomatoes finely chopped. Add this mixture to the meat then add one container of Riccota cheese. Mix all this together. Take the noodles and lay out 2 or 3 at a time. Place about 3-4 tablespoons of the mixture on one end of the noodle then simply roll it up. Place in a baking pan with the open ends facing east and west of the pan. Repeat until the pan is full. Cover the wraps with your favorite marinera sauce place in oven at 425. When sauce starts to bubble sprinkle a couple of hands full of parmesean cheese over the top, cook another 5 minutes. Done and done. It's something that looks like it took you all day and tastes incredible.

If you like Rice-a-Roni or Pasta-roni.....things on that order you can always add meat or veggies...like the Spanish rice...just brown some hamburger and remove the grease....than make the rice-a-roni according to the directions...and you can always add a can of stew tomatoes to that....to the chicken based dishes.....such as chicken and broccoli....cut up chicken breast in chunks...brown...and than cook like the package says.

NOODLES ROMANO

CALICO CHICKEN

2 chicken breasts, boned and cubed

2 tbsp. shortening

1 can creamy chicken mushroom soup

1/3 cup milk

1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning (McCormick)

1 (8 oz.) can Veg-All mixed vegetables

1 tbsp. parsley, chopped

In skillet brown chicken in shortening, drain off fat. Stir in soup, milk and seasoning. Cover, simmer 30 minutes or until done. Stir occasionally, add vegetables and parsley. Heat thoroughly. Serve over cooked rice or noodles. 4 servings.

try making stuff from rachael ray - her dishes take 30 minutes or less, and they usually call for some very simple ingredients.

another hint could be making large quantities of food so you can eat them as leftovers for days - i make a big gallon pot of beef stew that lasts me for a week.

simple rice pilaf: cook rice in chicken broth instead of water, and add whatever vegetables you like to it when it is cooked.

check this website out, it is the best, you will find many recipes by diffrent chiefs, italian, english, indiand and many more and it is not complicated.
