This is one that’s good as an evening snack or as a side dish to a meal. Also a simple alternative for kids lunches It is very feeling. 1 tin of vegetable soup Use the same tin and measure a cup of instant rice. Cook until all moisture is absorbed by the rice, and further to desired consistency. Moments before serving add one tin of flaked tuna, cook long enough to warm the tuna. Will serve at least 2-3 Not recommended for sodium restricted diets

why no fresh meat or produce?

mnottertail -> RE: The next recipie post (2/3/2007 9:57:13 AM)
well, because the fresh meat has to whine and ask if it is only them. Insofar as produce... I think talking about getting head from lettuce is against TOS. Hope this helps, cutie!!!! Ron

Boil water, but be careful not to burn it. Add Ramen In a few minutes you'll have soup. Season to taste ~poe

See recipe for "stuff" in the other thread. I didn't read the instructions carefully. Oddly enough, its pretty much the only thing I do from mostly cans.

Try a few drops of sesame oil in the water and a bit of white pepper. You can also throw in a quarter cup of frozen mixed veggies. The stuff can be dressed up pretty well with a little effort.

I talked about this someplace before, but, thought I'd put the recipe here... more than two servings (but great leftovers)... Ouflauf (made up name by our family) 1 Box of Ziti (or another wide pasta) Shredded cheese of your choice (I prefer Gruyere or sharp cheddar) 3 or 4 knockworst -- diced into bite-size (left over ham works well too) Salt & Pepper to taste 1 egg beaten or equivalent size in eggbeaters Breadcrumbs/Panko Flakes Cook the ziti al dente. Layer in a casserole dish with cheese/knockworst/pasta... keep layering until you end with cheese on top. Pour the egg over it and top with your breadcrumbs of choice. (At this point, I like to spray that butter spray over it)... You can microwave it until the cheese is melted, but, I like to bake it covered in the oven until the breadcrumbs get all toasty-brown. Serve with a salad or veggies... my favorite salad right now is a simple lettuce, belgian endive and cucumber salad ... what we call a "winter" salad

Ok, I remembered one. Boil up some pasta, like bow ties or rotelli, but not something long and stringy like spaghetti. I'm not sure why, it just seems right. While the pasta is cooking, put a can of black olives, a can of artichoke hearts and a jar of roasted red peppers in a sauce pan and heat through. If you want, you can add a can of chick peas to balance the nutrition out. When the pasta is done, drain it and mix it all together. Serve with really good quality parmasan or romano cheese, the kind you have to grate yourself. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking it would be better if instead of just heating the stuff in a pot, you drain it and saute it in a fry pan with some olive oil and garlic. I've never done it this way, but it seems like its worth trying. I've never used it, but they sell pre-minced garlic in jars.

Well if we're speaking of ramen... You can actually cook up the noodles, then drain out the water and throw the noodles in a pan with some sesame oil, garlic, salt, peper, ginger, soy sauce, and mixed veggies (from a can or frozen), cook on high heat, stirring every so often, and bang, you've got the fastest, cheapest pseudo chow mein on the planet. It also works well if you forgo the seasonings and just dump in last nights chinese leftovers.

MMMM I'm getting hungry

sensualmagirl -> RE: The next recipie post (2/8/2007 12:35:15 PM)
So, I have a bad, bad cold... ick [:'(] and was making an old and easy "standard" for me today, and thought of this thread... now, some pasta sauce purists will hate me for this. Normally, I do the whole thing of chopping tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh oregano, but, well, I'm sick, and it's easy and not bad. Simple Pasta Sauce -- Chunky (I like to see my tomatoes) • 1 medium onion -- diced • 4-5 cloves chopped (more or less to your liking) garlic (or equivalent in the jarred chopped stuff) • 1-2 Tbsp olive oil • 1 medium to large can of diced tomatoes • 1 really large can of ground peeled tomatoes • 1 small can of tomato sauce • 1 small can of tomato paste • Herbs (I use a big handfull of Italian Herb Mix, some basil, oregano, marjoram, red pepper flakes and a Bay Leaf) • Optional: Sprinkle of parmesan cheese • Optional: Italian Sausage In the olive oil, start to cook the onions until just translucent. Then add the can of diced tomatoes and herbs (except bay leaf), cook for a little while. Add the rest of your tomato products, bay leaf, and parmesan cheese. Bring to a bubble while stirring and add your uncooked Italian Sausage. Turn the heat to simmer and cook for 1 hour or so (the longer it cooks, I like it better -- hence, why I've got it going now at 3:30 in the afternoon for tonights dinner... LOL).

Keep in mind that pre-chopped in the jar garlic has a short fridge life :( I mean really short. After just a week something icky happens to the flavor, so either buy teensy jars or just use the best option which is fresh garlic. Egads I love garlic. I make a super 40 clove garlic roast chicken :) All you do is skin the garlic and trim it. Loosen the whole chicken skin by sliding your fingers under it GENTLY until you can't reach anymore. Shove garlic under the skin til it bulges in a most skeery looking way hehe. Shove more into the washed then dried cavity. Sprinkle fav herbs then roast for about 90 minutes or about 20 minutes per pound. The garlic goes totally soft and roasted in flavor. Do not go on a date after eating said meal, unless you shared it with said date!!

I usually peel some garlic and leave some with the skin on so that the garlic gets all roasted inside, then squirt the garlic onto some toasted bread -- instant garlic bread... have some olive oil blended with italian herbs and parmesan cheese for dipping on the side too. Next time, I will try a combination of your method and mine I think [:D]

cjenny -> RE: The next recipie post (2/8/2007 12:57:50 PM)
If you cut the 'top' of a head of garlic (about enough to make it flat on top) off to expose the tips, drizzle a bit of olive oil, then wrap it in foil. Bake at least 40 minutes with whatever else youre cooking & you end up with easy roasted garlic. Just squeeze it and the roasted garlic oooooooozes out. For those that are a bit leery of so much garlic, roasted garlic tastes different. It has a nutty mellow flavor that mixes so well with the natural garlic & can be eaten as is spread on bread.

She would chop a bunch of cloves at a time and put it into cleaned out baby food jars. Works just as well for the stuff you get already chopped. Stays fresh for much longer and you have a yummy oil to brush on toasted rounds or to flavor whatever you're using it to saute. Just keep topping off the oil if you use some of it.

2 cans Rotele tomatoes (alayna likes the spice, you can use regular) 1 cheap beef roast 1 crock pot Layer one can of tomatoes on bottom; add roast; layer one can on top of roast; use longest cook time on crock pot. The meat becomes very tender and delicious. Don't even need S&P and the liquid would make an awesome gravy if you want/need one.
