It may be cheaper to get a restaurant to make it for you, they will often give discounts. or go to a local place and see if they will ';sponser'; you, and give it for free.





Good luck, sounds like a lot of fun!!!!!

Do you know when can I find many simple recipes for cooking?

I don't like to waste on cooking too much time but I like to try new things. So, I would like to find website with many Good, Fast recipes for cooking.Do you know when can I find many simple recipes for cooking?
I also love allrecipes.com. I read all the reviews before I try a recipe, and make alterations as the reviewers suggest.





For simple recipes, however, I would try:

Enjoy!Do you know when can I find many simple recipes for cooking?
Here's the answer to simple cooking: the Crock Pot (slow cooker). You only have to cut up stuff and throw it in, set it on low, and it will be done by the time you return home. I always test out recipes during the weekend to make sure that 12 hours on low won't burn anything. But after that I am able to make meals the night before or even setting aside 5 minutes in the morning to dump all the pre-made ingredients in will result in an easy, wonderful meal in the evening when you get home.





Most CrockPots come with recipes but there are many recipe books out there made just for the slow cooker. Try some out! Here's a helpful link:





www.Crock-Pot.com
www.cooks.com





It has a great search feature so you can type in what you have and it'll open all the recipes that you can make with that





There's also a book you can get for pretty cheap that is called 4 ingredient recipes or 5 ingredient recipes that I use all the time. Everything is 15 mins. or less of prep time and usually less than 30 cooking time. Enjoy!
allrecipes.com is good. so is cooks.com

If anyone has any helpful and good resipes for cooking in the microwave or any other method they have created please help!!Does anyone have any good recipes for cooking in the microwave?
This is a very hearty soup and needs only garlic bread, and perhaps a salad, to complete





the meal.





1/3 cup chopped red or green bell peppers


1/4 cup chopped onions


1 pkg. (8 oz.) light cream cheese, cubed


1 cup skim milk


1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules


1 cup very hot water


1 can (8 oz.) cream-style corn

Place pepper and onion in microwave casserole. Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes on High power (100%) until vegetables soften. Add cream cheese and milk. Heat on Medium-high power (70%) for 3-6 minutes, stirring once or twice, until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth. Dissolve bouillon granules in hot water. Stir into cream cheese mixture. Add remaining ingredients and continue to heat on Medium-high power (70%), stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes or until soup is very hot.Does anyone have any good recipes for cooking in the microwave?
Check out the link - there's recipes for brownies, curry and even eggs benedict. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_hs/鈥?/a>
they have special cookbooks just for microwave cooking....go to the bookstore and look for one, or maybe try googling ';microwave recipes'; and see if anything comes up
I'm a college student too. I love to cook, but I also know that it's difficult to make full meals, chopping up veggies and measuring lots of ingredients. Some things that I like to do: I got a microwave rice cooker for Christmas from Pampered Chef (I'm sure there are cheaper brands) that works well for cooking steaming rice or vegetables. PastaRoni has microwave instructions. Our cafeteria sells hard-boiled eggs and those can be made into egg salad or deviled eggs.
ITALIAN STYLE CHICKEN BREASTS





2 eggs, slightly beaten


1/2 c. seasoned bread crumbs


1/4 c. Parmesan cheese


1 can tomato sauce


1 tsp. Italian seasoning


1/4 tsp. garlic powder





Dip chicken breasts in eggs, then crumb mixture. To make the crumb mixture, combine the bread crumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Microwave in 1 1/2 quart casserole, loosely covered with wax paper, for 5 minutes. Turn over and cover with sauce. To make the sauce, combine the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Put over top of chicken; cover loosely and cook 4 minutes. Place slices of Mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast and cook 2 minutes. Let stand 3 to 4 minutes, covered.

Most dal recipes are prepared quite simply. The basic recipe for dal begins with combining the following ingredients in a deep pot:





* 1 cup dal of any variety


* 2-3 cups water


* 录 tsp turmeric





Bring to a boil, cook over medium heat until soft, and then add salt to taste. Masoor and mung varieties cook quickly, in 25-30 minutes, while other varieties may take an hour or more. In some recipes, ginger, tamarind, unripe mango, or other ingredients are added while cooking the daal, often to impart a sour flavor.





When ready to serve, a tadka or baghaar is prepared to flavor the dish. Heat 2 tbsp oil or ghee in a small frying pan, and add a selection of spices and flavorings. The ingredients in the tadka for each variety of dal vary by region and individual tastes, but common tadka combinations include:





* 1 tsp cumin seed


* 1/4 tsp chili powder


* 1 small onion, sliced thinly





and





* 1/2 tsp black mustard seed


* 2 cloves garlic, minced





Both of these combinations go well with masoor dal. Other common tadka ingredients include asafoetida, fresh or dried chili pods, cilantro and garam masala. Add the raw spices first, fry for a few seconds in the hot oil, and then add the remaining ingredients. The garlic need only fry for a minute or two, but the onion should be fried for 10 minutes or until browned. Add the spice-infused oil to the cooked dal and serve with bread or over Basmati rice.
select any of the dals, like tur, moong, massor, or mix them prportionately, by adding some chana dal also.


for best results, soak the dals in cold water, for 20 minutes, wash and drain, put in the slow cooker, 4 whistles on medium fire, are enough.


assemble, onions, garlic, ginger, green chiilies, tomatoes, white gourd, baby potatoes, coriander, bay leaves.


in masalas, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, hing, salt, a little pulp of tamarind, small ball of yellow jaggery.


after the dal is cooked, heat refined oil, 2 table spoons, in a deep pan, put mustard, cumin, and asphoetida, i.e. hing, in that order, let the seeds crackle, but not burn, add kadhi patta, pour dal, stir, add masalas, pulp of tamarin and gud.


bring to a boil in 5 minutes, since the dal is already cooked, and serve steaming hot , with rice, or rotis,


garnish with chopped coriander leaves, and some grated fresh coconut, if you like.


have curds also with rice, the combination is simply marvellous !

    I know they can sound boring but that's the way Italians cook them!! When I went to Milan I ate them in a restaurant and they just had tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese in powder. I would suggest you to make them a bit more tasteful by boiling the gnocchi and then in another pan pour a bit of olive oil, cut a little bit of garlic in tiny bits, fry the garlic in the pan till it is getting a bit brown, then add the gnocchi, the tomato sauce, oregano spice ( great for pasta) and then the Parmesan cheese...and ready to eat!!! simply lovely!!

    Left over recipes...cooking on a budget?

    I need to budget my money right now.





    Looking in my freezer I have some cooked meats and I wanted to know if anyone had some cheap and easy recipes ideas that could help me out.





    I have some cooked pork from pork chops and country ribs.





    I also have some cooked beef, left over from a roast.





    I don鈥檛 want any extravagant recipes, I鈥檓 needing to save some money so inexpensive meals are a plus.





    Thanks for your help.Left over recipes...cooking on a budget?
    pork chops or roast beef (not both) shredded and served over rice with brown gravy.





    stew the roast beef about an hour. Shred it and mixed with some BBQ sauce (or salsa) - served on buns





    cube the pork and beef, put in a pot with 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of water, and 1 can of mixed vegetables. Stew for about 30 minutes. Add 1/2 cup rice and cook covered for about 20 more. Soup!





    Dice the pork chops. Make ramen. Put the pork in the ramen and eat.Left over recipes...cooking on a budget?
    I use leftover pork to make sweet and sour stir fry, whatever veggies like onion, peppers, mushrooms, canned water chestnuts, in a sauce with equal amounts of sugar and vinegar, half that amount of soy sauce, ground ginger, or not, and alittle corn starch to thicken.
    make a pie or sheppards pie with left over roast meat, chop it up, add cooked veges and gravy, pour into a dish and top with mashed potato,
    I love leftovers and have actually made leftover meals from leftovers.


    Cook some onion, add the meat in bite size pieces and heat it up. Add a can of cream soup like mushroom or celery. Add half a soup can of milk and heat it up. Can put in some frozen peas.


    In the meantime cook some noodles, any kind.


    When they are cooked put the noodles on a plate and put the meat sauce over them.


    Or you can mix the noodles and meat sauce together in the pan and serve it like that.


    You can sprinkle some shredded cheese on top if you like cheese.


    My family always likes this kind of dish.
    These are recipes using stuff you have... Pretty good sounding, I might add.

    I saute the veggies ( whatever I have in the frig) in butter and then throw in the meat. Once warm add the rice and some soy sauce or teriyaki sauce. BBQ works too.





    The cooked beef you can shred and warm in a crock pot with some BBQ. BBQ beef sandwiches are quick and easy. This works with the ribs too.
