I am a sandwich making master. My go2 breakfast sandwich is bacon, eggs, cheese, and muffin.

I cook the bacon first, put it in a separate plate, then I cook the eggs because it will mix in with the bacon grease, then I toast the muffins, and lastly I assemble it together with cheese. You have the perfect bacon, egg, and cheese muffin sandwich.

and that ladies and gentlemen is the reason why Mexican food is BY FAR my most favourite (together with orginal FRESH Japanese Ramen)

Russian tuna salad or Ensalada Rusa

* 1 canned tuna in its own juice (drained)
* 2 medium potatoes (boiled, peeled)
* 1 medium carrot (boiled, peeled)
* 2 eggs (hard-boiled)
* ½ cup of diced honey sweet gherkin pickles
* green onions or parsley for garnish
* 3-4 tbsp mayonnaise

Combine drained tuna, boiled diced potatoes, carrots, pickles, onions, mayo.
Serve on bread or as a side

New potatoes (or small potatoes) - Peeled and boiled
A few baby carrots - Peeled and boiled
A small cabbage - Peeled and boiled
Smoked haddock - It must be fresh from a fishmonger (boned and filleted) - Slowly cooked in milk until tender

Put it all on a plate, add black pepper and serve, no salt as the fish is quite salty.

Thanks OP, now I'm getting hungry.

i just ate something but slowly u guys make me hungry again too XD

why do we even cook food?
people who eat raw food live just fine and very healthy
animals don't cook
you don't need to cook if you don't wan't to. If you like to do it because it's tasty that's ok but it's not required for health

I recently discovered a cheap and quick meal that is super easy to make.

Get a can of your favorite chili (for me It's Stag dynamite hot chili) heat it up in a pot and add seasonings (garlic, onion, black pepper, etc)

Once it gets hot, add a slice of cheese (Pepperjack is the best)

Then take a bag of Royal instant bismati rice of whatever flavor you prefer (Jalapeno Queso for me) and cook that for 1:30 in the microwave.

When the rice is done, rip open the bag, add it to the chili, stir it up and enjoy.


You can do the same recipe by making the chili from scratch, and using normal bismati rice instead of the instant stuff. It does taste a little better this way, but it also takes way longer to make and costs more.

I never would've imagined that rice in chili would be so good. I just happened to be making a can of chili one night and I looked at it thinking "that's not gonna be enough for how hungry I am" so I went scrounging through the cupboards for something to go with it, and the only thing I had was the rice.

I actually stood there for a moment thinking "would rice go good in chili? That seems like a strange combination." before finally deciding "screw it, I like the chili, I like the rice, what can go wrong?"

It is so freaking delicious.

you unhealthy slim...

my student/easy meal at least is healthy..
(even though it breaks the nono's of italians)

ingredients for sauce :
2 liter of good catsup (with good I mean the kind that only contains tomato sauce and a bit of vinagar, if it contains any sugar, corn syrup or anything else buy tomato paste instead)
***
I just use catsup as in the netherlands catsup and tomato puree are basicly identical with a little vinagar an sometimes a little salt, the only addatives that make catsup, catsup and not tomato puree but the catsup somehow is cheaper.

1 kilo of ground beef

3 leeks (about 600 grams)
3 bellpeppers (about 600 grams)
2 jars of sliced black olives in brine (about 400 gram)
extra vierge olive oil

mixed dried italian herbs (if they don't sell that mixture there)
**it should contain
-basil
-oregano
-thyme
-rosemary
-savory
(so you could just use these 5 herbs instead)


now I put the beef in a frying pan, add a generous amount of olive oil.. and stir-fry it mildly (don't overdo it.. you just want to make sure it aint raw anymore)
I toss often salt on the meat too.

meanwhile in a saute pan, I toss my 2 liter of catsup and stir it until bubbling nicely.. I often keep it at full heat a little which needs proper stirring to get that nice grilled tomato flavour ...
-> I than toss in a generous amount of the italian herbs, and my black olives (alongside with a splash but not all of the brine (it has flavor but if you use all the sauce gets to watery and salty)
when I have 2 200gram jars I use about the brine of half a jar...

with that base done.. I toss in the meat.... from the fryingpan to the sautepan, with olive oil and all... I stirr these flavours in my sauce... often adding a splash more olive oil.... and a handfull more of italian herbs...

than i turn the heat low.. and toss in my bellpeppers.. chopped finely stir them in my sauce... and finally the leeks chopped finely on top cover with lid.. (I tend to let the leeks lay on top reduce and have water escape so lid not fully on.. allow steam to escape as the leeks will reduce a lot in volume and are hard to mix in if your pan is not humoungous....

once my leeks are soft and halved in size (which takes only a few minutes) I stir them in too.. and put my sauce on low heat for at least an hour..
from time to time I go to the kitchen dip my finger have a little taste and often toss in an extra helping of italian herbs and olive oil...

this is my "easy maccarony"

for pasta I buy just any shape dried pasta I like like grand italia farfalle.. boil it as instructed usually 8 minutes.. and toss a hellping of this sauce on tip.

this sauce lends itself excellently for freezing and reheating.. so I usually make a large pot and freeze in portions of the sauce.. so I only have to boil the pasta fresh (never use old pasta thats yuck).. and toss some of this defrosted and reheated sauce on top.

another easy meal is my vegetable soup.

they sell in supermarkets ready chopped up "soup vegetables" fresh in bags.
they also sell in supermarkets fresh tiny meatballs called "soupballs"
I also buy meat boilloin blocks (sold in packats
as well as some vermicelli

well now.. toss in a pan water. the vegetables, 2 of those boilloin blocks, your meatballs, all at the same time and put on the heat... it will boil itself.. no work needed.. just about an hour time..

5 minutes before serving toss in some vermicelly and boil it along..

very easy yet very tasty.. healthy too.. for you basicly eat fresh meat and fresh vegetables.

if not filling enough.. just get some proper bread (which ofcourse is sold plentyfull ion my nation too) some whole wheat brown bread with butter on top always is taste and makes for good dipping in said soup.

i believe we do already have a thread for this. i only cook steak
