hey everyone,
i’m looking for new recipes, and since i’m a lazy college student I don’t know how to cook. anyone got some simple ideas?
October 12, 2004 at 8:24 pm #70814neo_ny_23Memberyeah am also lazy, plus I am also a college student, plus I dont know how to cook, plus yeah, I want simple recipe not the ones where u have to spend more than 10 minutes in the kitchen.
October 21, 2004 at 4:49 pm #70821ToeBeeMemberWell if you don’t want to spend it in the kitchen spend it outdoors with the BBQ. One of my easy but very good favorites is pork chops. The way I do it, is I buy a marinade called “caribbean jerk”. Put all your pork chops in a large bowl and pour the caribbean jerk marinade over the top, intill the pork is submerged. Let it sit in the fridge for 1 hour then throw it on the grill. Pork chops are very cheap and cook fast. The only thing that takes time is the marinating but, very little work involved.
Happy GrillingOctober 22, 2004 at 3:26 am #70811RabidKittenParticipantCollege student? So we’re talking like…ramen right? Ugh I still can’t eat that stuff…I lived off of it for way too long.
Anyway, eh there’s nothing quite like taking a bunch of little meat bits, throwing them in a baggy with some virgin olive oil and a bunch of random spices, lettin’ em sit like that for a day then throwing them in a frying pan and cooking them up all yummy like. *shrug* …that and mac n’ cheese.
I’m more of a baker than a cook, so…yeah *cough* Oh, but I have my famous spaghetti!
The noodles are a Duh thing, water in a pot, put salt in it (Salt makes the water boil slower, but it’ll cook the noodles faster) and the noodles and put it on the boil, but the trick is in the sauce.
Ok, half pound-pound of Nice choice ground beef. I like the leanest stuff around, because you don’t have to soak and drain the fat after you’ve browned it, make sure it’s thawed. Then (wash you hands!!) you squish the meat flat over the bottom of a pan and sprinkle around some lemon pepper, hamburger seasoning, salt, garlic, and oregano on there, as much or little as you like, and kneed it into the meat, like you were doing to bread dough.
Spread it out again in the bottom when the spices are all through the meat and brown it, chopping it into as little pieces as you possibly can. This is where if you don’t have the leanest kind of beef, you squish the meat into a corner, tip the pan in the opposite direction until a bunch of grease and fat gathers in the clear spot. Get rid of it. Paper towles are a pain…or you could just throw it all in the strainer like I do, if your collender has small enough holes so no meat falls through.
Anywho, after that’s done, the meat should be dry and crumbly (yum) and popping a little if the heat is high on the stove. Dump in your sauce (whether it be premade or just the sauce, I’d suggest adding more garlic, salt, lemonpepper and all of that if you’re using plain sauce) I’d say use 12 ounces if you have a lb of meat. Anywho, wait until that’s getting a little bubbly…then comes the special treat. Grate a bunch of sharp cheddar. Seriously, trust me. Like…quarter to half a big block and dump it in, stir it up until the sauce is nice and orange and it’s all melted together. -that- is yummy stuff.
Sorry I don’t use cups or anything like that…it’s all kind of according to taste. And I love it. Especially with garlic bread or something. *drool* … *stares at the health shake her mother just made her. Soy milk…tofu…grain…berries…shudder* … I want some now.
October 22, 2004 at 3:50 am #70817SpikeMemberYeah, I got one. We call it ‘Slop’ here at home. Heh, don’t worry, it’s good.
(VERY Basic instructions) Cook up some ground beef in a pan into small chunks. In another pot, make some macaroni, but just the noodles (no cheese). Then, when the noodles and beef are done, drain the water from the noodles, then ad the noodles to the beef. (Oh yeah, remove the fat from the beef beforehand). Then pour in one can of Tomato soup and one can of cheddar cheese soup right into the pan with the beef/macaroni. Stir until cooked, add Italian seasonong (20 dashes) and a pinch of salt (not even). Voila! Slop!
If you want the actual measurements, I could get those for yeh, but it serves a family of four…
October 22, 2004 at 10:31 am #70815neo_ny_23Memberyay noodles or ramen whatever u call it… I cooked that.. sans rabid’s and spike’s instructions. result: finished the crap within 5 minutes and ate everything I made without ever trying to taste how it tasted. coz I was hungry. But yeah.. as far as I remember, it tasted gud. 😛
October 24, 2004 at 9:57 pm #70818SpikeMemberOMG Ramen Noodles are the BOMB! I had my mom go out to Sams Club and pick up a retail box of about 36 😀 becuase they’re so awesome. I have them like everyday over the summer cuz they’re so easy to make!
October 31, 2004 at 3:39 am #70813seb_thib_55MemberOne of my favorite breakfasts: EGGS IN BALOGNA CUPS
You need Eggs and Balogna
-Set your oven at 375 degrees
-Take a slice of balogna and put it in the oven until its warm. Dont over cook it since it will get all hard.
-Take a muffin tray and place your balogna inside foldin the two edges inwards so its like a cup!
-Then break an egg inside. You can scramble it or just break the egg inside. I prefer non-scrambled!Bake for 15-20 mins.
November 1, 2004 at 4:01 am #70816neo_ny_23Memberi like making omlettes though.. they are kinda my favorite. thats perhaps the only thing I like to cook 😛
November 20, 2004 at 6:06 pm #70822PiercedMemberI need to know what kind of food you like!

im quite a picky eater. I hate seafood. I was kinda hoping that ppl would just throw out ideas (like they have been doing) and I could pick from there.
November 29, 2004 at 8:02 am #70812RabidKittenParticipantPeanutbutter Celery is nice.
Peanutbutter between two tortillas and in the microwave until they’re nice and warm is yummy.
*click click click* hot egg and ham sandwiches on toasted bread, scrambled or over easy the eggs are good and just throw the ham in the pan on the last egg to cook it up quick and nice.November 30, 2004 at 1:36 am #70810OreoMemberQuote:quote:Originally posted by RabidKittenPeanutbutter Celery is nice.
Don’t forget to add raisins for ants on a log….YUMMY! There’s also a thing you can do with hotdogs and cresent rolls….basically you cut the hotdogs in half, put a little piece of cheese in there, and wrap a cresent roll around them and shove them into an oven ( I think you just follow the cresent roll instructions, but don’t trust me on that…keep an eye on those suckers). It’s pretty good when it’s done…though not the lowest fat thing in the world.
November 30, 2004 at 5:38 am #70809sciencefeelingMemberVegetarian Lasagna
I cooked this yesterday for a friend. It is easy and fun and is good, or so he said, hehehe.
1. Buy Lasagna pasta from the store. Read the cooking directions, some brands require a quick boil before, some don’t (Barilla doesn’t, so that might be something to take into account when shopping).
2. Put in a pan, chopped: tomato, eggplant, mushrooms, onion, green pepper…and whatever other vegie you fancy, that is your invention, and cook for around 15 minutes or so, it doesn’t have to be cooked very much cause it is going to go in the oven anyways.
3. Add a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan, when is hot, lower the heat to minimum and add a tbl spoon of flour, stirr, it will change color in a minute so be carefull, as soon as is wet with the oil (a few seconds), add milk, whole or skimmed your choice. With very low heat (3 out of 10), stirr with a spoon slowly trying to dissolve the flour in the milk. At this point add salt and pepper. It will take a while, but eventually the sauce will start to be more dense and more dense, when it becomes a thick sauce (it has the consistency of mayonaise more or less), turn the heat off and save.
Now spray butter onto a baking tray (deep and small one), then cover the bottom with a layer of lasagna pasta, then cover the pasta with the vegies, then with the sauce I described above (bechamel), then put a little bit of mozzarella cheese on top. Then cover with another layer of pasta and go on, until you put three layers of pasta. Finally put a last layer of pasta and on top only add the sauce (you should have used up the vegies), add more cheese on top.
Finally put it in the oven for 60 min at medium heat.
It is easy but it takes time, hope you try it and enjoy it.

EDIT: lots of typos, hehehe, that is what you get when you post in a rush.
