What are your easiest, tastiest meals - quick to prepare when you can't think of anything!!
Hi guys I have a few 'standard' easy meals that I always have the ingredients handy, in case I seriously can't be bothered cooking a 'fancy' meal ....... feel free to add your own 'Favs'! ;) L...
When I was kicked out of home at age 19 - I basically survived on Spaghetti Bolognese - I'd make up a massive pot & it would last me all week (and it NEVER went 'off'.) Sometimes I'd have it for breakfast, lunch & dinner! I LOVE IT!! I STILL love it! If I wanted to make it go further, I'd add a can of kidney beans & some chilli & call it chilli con carne & serve it with nachos instead of spaghetti! When I cooked the spaghetti & added the mince, I would just eat it out of the pan!! LOL.
Keith also makes up a packet of Pasta Sauce & adds some veggies like broccoli and then chucks in a tin of Tuna or salmon ..... so it pays to make the pasta a little 'thicker' than normal to allow for the juice from the Tuna/Salmon.
And here Julie Goodwin's Impossible Quiche (it looks identical to the one I used to do 30 years ago!) - a winner for a Lucky Dip evening or lunch - or for unexpected guests. You don't even have to precook the bacon!! I used to squeeze some of the liquid out of the zucchini tho .... and I grated the onion too ..... just peel it & leave the 'roots on' to hold it.
And another Julie Goodwin recipe - a lovely Potato Bake (I had it today at a girlfriend's place, with lunch!) It tastes even nicer the next day too - so make double the quantity ;)
I've used undiluted cream of chicken (or chicken & corn) soup instead of the cream, between layers of potato & onion & finishing it with more soup & cheese on top! ALSO very nice - and EASY!!
hehe .... if a cake recipe says 'Cream the Butter & Sugar' - I turn the page! :)
