Also, get yourself a slow cooker. There's almost no work involved, and you can make up large batches of food and freeze it for later.

Agree.

Here is a slow cooker recipe that I love. It is super easy!

CREAMY SALSA CHICKEN

4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1(1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
1 cup of salsa
1/2 cup of sour cream

-Place chicken breasts in sprayed slow cooker with 1/4 cup of water. Sprinkle with taco mixand top with salsa. Cook on LOW for 5-6 hours.
-When ready, remove chicken and place on platter. Stir sour cream in salsa and spread over chicken.

I serve it over a bed of rice. You can make it faster by just baking the chicken in the oven, but the slow cooker really tenderizes the meat and the flavor seems better.

most of my recipes come from a shit ton of bong rips and left over food. both of the recipies below i made on a whim (like most of the food i eat) and i liked it enough to do it again. im no chef or anything and i try to go with foods that i can cook without too much effort that will keep me full for a while and uses cheap ingredients like frozen veggies or rice. Heres my favorite recipe, dubbed "Alley Casserole". it involves pulled pork, french fries, and tons of other good shit:


ALLEY CASSEROLE:

1 cup cooked rice
half a cup of velveeta sliced into thin slices
quarter cup diced spanish onions
quarter cup frozen corn
a "handful" of seasoned fries, cooked.
1.5 cups shreaded mexican cheese
2 cups pulled pork
franks hotsauce

take a "meatloaf" pan (thats what i call em anyway). spray with butter spray. spread rice on bottom and cover with velveeta and sprinkle with franks hotsauce. put onions and corn ontop, spread evenly. put one layer of french fries ontop, sprinkle with mexican cheese. spread pulled pork on top. put remaining fries on, cover with remaining cheese, put some more franks hotsauce ontop. bake for 25 minutes at 350 covered, or until temp reaches 160 on the inside.

there are many ways to make pulled pork, but heres how i make mine in a crockpot:

2 pounds pork shoulder. This is what i prefer, but ive used pork ribs to do this as well.
4 cloves roasted garlic
teaspoon of old bay seasoning
tablespoon of sea salt
tablespoon of coarse ground pepper
1 bottle flying dog imperial porter (guiness is a great substitute)
-half a cup of diced apples. I use the sweetest ones i can find at the grocery store.
-bottle of sweet baby rays vidalia onion bbq sauce

-take a whole garlic clove, wrap in tin foil. bake in oven at 350 for around 45 minutes.
-take pork shoulder, cut 4 holes in any side big enough to fit garlic cloves. peel garlic cloves and stuff inside the pork.

place pork in crockpot. add all the seasonings and then pour about 1 inch of beer ontop. top with apples. cover the crockpot. put crockpot on high for 1 hour and then turn down to low for approx. 3 hours, or until pork is cooked. remove the pork once its done and "pull" it with two forks. if you are using this for the recipe above i recomend pulling it into larger chunks. drain MOST of the liquid out of the crockpot but leave just a tiny bit. put pork back in, add sauce until it reaches your desired consistency. cover and let simmer for an hour.

I saw this on MSNBC and had to search Youtube to see if anyone uploaded it. It's disgusting and intriguing at the same time.

HEY NO DON'T MIX IT.

Thought I'd share my Thai basil chicken recipe; it may not be the most authentic dish, but it's really good and I like making it for dinner every now and then. Anyway, here's how it goes...

Two boneless chicken breasts
2 bell peppers
1/3 cup of light soy sauce
1/3 cup of water
2-3 cloves of garlic
Basil leaves
2-3 dried chilies
2 tbsp of vegetable oil
1 tsp of cornstarch

First, slice the chicken breasts into half-inch strips across the grain. Combine the soy sauce, water and cornstarch in a cup and stir well. Place the sliced chicken in a large bowl, pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and set aside. Next, chop the basil leaves and peppers, and mince the garlic. Add the vegetable oil to a large pan or wok set on high heat. Once the pan/wok is hot, add the garlic and stir it in the oil. Once the garlic is cooking, add the chicken with the soy sauce. Once the chicken is cooked, add in the basil, peppers and dried chilies. Once everything is cooked together, remove the dish from the heat and serve over rice. You can also garnish the dish with a lime wedge.

I'm a pretty avid cook, here's a dinner I like making.

Mango Chicken

1 8oz can of Mango Nectar
1 lb of boneless chicken breasts
2 cup flour
a butt-load of paprika
Chilli powder
Salt
pepper

The night prior to cooking, fill a bowl with nectar and spices, mix it up pretty good, and you'll have an orange liquid with red spots. put in breasts and mix, let marinate over night.

next day, preheat oven to 375*F, grease baking pan.
take chicken, cover in flour and bake for around 20 minutes.

It should taste sweet and a bit spicy. I think it goes well with curry rice.

a butt-load of paprika

I know how much an ass-load is but how much is a butt-load? More or Less?

I'm pretty sure both are less than a boat-load. Definitely less than a fuck-ton.

Fried Egg And Cheese Sammage

I got this recipe of /b/. Don't judge me.

Ingredients:
2 slices of bread (white works the best)
2 eggs
Handful of grated cheese
Olive oil

Heat some oil in a pan on medium or high (depends on how shit your stove is). While it's heating up cut a circular hole in each piece of bread. Make the hole about 4cm across.
Once the oil has heated up put a piece of bread in the pan and crack an egg into the hole. Let it cook on one side before the bread burns and then flip it over. Put the cheese on top of that plus the other slice of bread on top of the cheese. From there crack the other egg into the other bread pieces hole. Once you're happy with how the bread and egg have cooked on the second side, flip the whole thing and cook until the other egg is fried and the cheese melted.
I usually eat this with BBQ sauce.

a butt-load of paprika

I know how much an ass-load is but how much is a butt-load? More or Less?

The same. You know it's enough when you can't stick any more up there.

As far as the paprika goes; smoked? Hungarian? Sweet? Hot? or just a generic paprika?

Speaking of paprika, I'll let you guys in on a little recipe from Eastern Europe that I like to call Hungarian Chicken. With most of my recipes, I've been cooking so long that I don't really have a recipe, but I'll guide you along.

Here's what you'll need:

3 lbs. Uncooked, skin on, chicken (I use thighs, but use whatever you want)
3 TBSP Melted Butter
1 small cabbage, sliced into quarters (I keep the core in, but that is optional)
3/4 cup thinly sliced yellow or sweet onion
3 Rome apples, peeled and sliced
1 TBSP grated lemon peel
3 tsp. Caraway seeds
1 tsp. sugar
8 oz. sliced swiss cheese
1/4 cup sliced alminds
2 tsp. Hungarian Sweet paprika (or use smoked, or hot it you'd like)
S+P to taste.

Preheat oven to 400

Hardware: Cast Iron skillet (optional), two 13x9x2 glass baking dishes.

In a cast iron skillet, cook seasoned (s&p) chicken skin side down in butter until the skin has a nice brown coat. If not using a skillet, just brush the chicken with melted butter. Place chicken baking dish and cook for one hour.

Meanwhile, place cabbage, apples, and onion in a casserole dish. Sprinkle with lemon peel, sugar, and caraway seeds; cover with foil. This cooks for 1/2 hour.

After one hour of the chicken cooking, place cheese, almonds and paprika on top of the chicken and cook until the cheese has melted (around 6-10 minutes). Garnish chicken with cabbage mixture.

<I add more paprika on my chicken at the end>


Now this isn't for everyone, but I love it. It's a nutritious dinner with low fat, and also you don't have a lot of clean up. Great for families who have kids that don't want to eat veggies too. The apples totally mellow out the tang from the cabbage.
