I think it has good nutrition facts I will sure try this :)

I'm good with 4eggs and bread..! but most of the times if I'm alone at home I like to get a Pizza delivery at my door step and you know how much member of this forum love Pizza..! :p

lulz

lived off that stuff for a couple years. i think it took a couple years off my life....

I like to make up a good sandwich with turkey, mayo (sometimes miracle whip), some lettuce, a slice of provolone or munster all on some nice cheap ass white bread.

For sides I vary a lot, anything from chips to carrots... though they tend to be of the 'unhealthy' variety most of the time.

i do it always, very easy :)
i tried to cook risotto with mushrooms, wasn't bad

i also made a cake, but wasn't a piece of cake  :D

I can cook some special tortellini, like the famous ones from Valeggio, they tastes really nice :D

love to cook up chow mein with some spicy brown sauce 8)

love to cook up some beans and rice.... black beans, basmati or jasmine rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, avocado, cheddar or jack cheese, maybe some olives. that's some good shit.

I like to keep things simple.

Make a sandwich using a bagel bread, and ham, cheese etc. With a side of sweet small tomatoes.

This is not "cooking" imaho  ;D

However sandw. are the best "fast" choice  for eat :)

I lack kitchen skills, the most I can do would be a hamburger helper or mac and cheese.

No serious raw chicken cooking etc. Plus I dont make much.

Omelet. Scrambled eggs. Rice. Pasta. Any baked potato recipe with onions. Any baked / roasted chicken recipe. Being able to cook even basic meals is a useful skill to have :)

Pastas, and basically any kind of meat. Yup, I'm a avid meat lover. Oh, and sometimes Mama Tom Yum, or different types of Asian ramen, and onigiri.

Try a twist on this classic.   You need 3 slices of cheese.

Boil the noodles and drain them.  Quickly throw 2 pieces of cheese at the bottom of the pot.  Throw the noodles in and put the last piece of cheese at the top.  Quickly cover with your plate and let sit, unheated, for about 2-5 minutes then mix the cheese into the noodles. 

Simple things like Eggs, Ramen, Rice, sometimes cook some vegetables the frozen kind and give it a warm up or some hamburgers and hot dogs, that said I am thinking of expanding that while trying to find something that doesn't need to much preparation time.
Maybe get some ground beef and make tacos or buy some nachos and add cheese.
Open to some creative ideas though key is keeping it simple

My best shot if I were to cook for myself is fried rice. just throw anything edible from the fridge, mix it with rice n some spice n soy sauce. And if I cook for myself, I never too care about the taste. As long as it fill my stomach, it do the job.

Anyone has tried fried tofu, mix with tomatoes n some cabbage in fried rice? It surprisingly good. n CHEAP. LoL :P

eggs, cheese. cheese eggs. hot sauce. :D

fried rice
it's so simple to make it and of course it's delicious

http://media.viva.co.id/thumbs2/2009/05/15/70666_nasi_goreng_telur_asin_663_382.jpg

In my case the question is not what I like, but what I can do (this limits my choice) :D
Fish and chips is really easy to make and tasty too!

When i first saw tofu is said that i will never put that in my mouth,but my wife tricked me and put fried tofu in my favorite salad and was so so good. Now i eat more tofu than cheese.....but no tofu will ever replace the melting mozzarella from pizza!

i like sweet rice,fish,pizza! :D :D

I make Carne Adovada (pork in mild red chile sauce) – admittedly, from a mix. I’ve made it from scratch and frankly I like the mix just as much, if not more.

Hmm. I love to cook fried rice with sinigang or adobo as viand. It's tasty, delicious, and worth the wait :)

Anything egg related. :D

A good thing to prepare :

2 small cans of tuna in olive oil
One stick of celery
A small white onion
Mayonnaise

1. Drain tuna and mash
2. Dice celery and onion
3. Combine ingredients and add mayonnaise to consistency

Stick in fridge overnight

Once ready put on anything!

Mac and cheese, cereal and milk 8)

I just love pizza and hamburger .
But if I have to cook it myself maybe chiken and rise.

It's okay man. Everybody has that moment in their life when they make simplistic meals. Like one time,  I was out of milk for cereal and ate coco puffs with water. It was terrible.

spaghetti and meatballs  :D

I cook toad in the hole regularly for myself and other stuff and yes, I have the pics to prove it and yes, this one was actually made by me :D

http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m602/Lethn/misc/DSCF1730_zps926b9831.jpg (http://s1134.photobucket.com/user/Lethn/media/misc/DSCF1730_zps926b9831.jpg.html)

Do those taste good? I hear they're eaten in Britain often. I can't really find anybody in the 'States that make it. Are they easy to make, by chance?

oz = ounces

6 oz of sifted plain flour
2 Eggs
10 oz of water and milk ( Or 5 oz of Milk and 5 oz of Water mixed together )
Add a small amount of salt for flavour

That's for the batter, to cook it you get some sausages and put them in a pan with cooking oil and cook them in the oven at 200 degrees until the oil sizzles and they're slightly brown, then you take out the tray, put the batter in with the sausages and turn over the sausages onto the uncooked side so they get cooked through properly and put the tray into the oven at 200 degrees again for 15 minutes. After that the batter should have risen like in my PC and then you just need to turn it down to 180 degrees and keep cooking for 10 minutes and then add on any time, for me it's usually 8 minutes after that.

It's a good idea to have gravy or something with it and yes it does taste good :D I make it with onion gravy using a lamb stock cube.

Same here.

Ramen for life!

Thats the dish name?

Whats inside? It looks great man! Making me hungrrrrrry.

I use something called a microwave, so I cant be on that level.. lol.

That one looked neat I would say its a bunch of Cheese and a few Hot Dogs placed inside it
Made this today was not that bad

http://www.cbc.ca/inthekitchen/assets_c/2013/12/Ramen21-thumb-596x350-341624.jpg

Hard boil eggs, shell & dice them, and add that in ;D
Don't forget the pepper.

this is what i cooked today and it was delicious.  veggies (bell peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, and green onion with some paprika spicing) and slices of filet mignon.

https://i.imgur.com/JOQyorn.jpg

i do something really easy that doesn't require much skill to cook.. eggs and potatoes, and then some strips of ham or turkey. add some hot sauce and it's pretty good for someone who is a bad cook.

I am not a great cook. The only dishes which I can prepare are:

1. Bread omelette
2. Cheese toast
3. Fruit salad.

Think you can expand on that list and add potato salad all you need is some potatoes and cheese :)
Then throw in some fruits for variety raisins etc.

A nice baseball cut sirloin or rib eye steak, baked potato, and Caesar salad.  Sometimes I'll make my own dressing for the salad but most of the time it's store bought.  I'veb become somewhat of a BBQ pro over the past 20 years or so. 

I have a real hard time letting someone else BBQ my steak, LOL!

Been thinking about trying to do a steak in a pan on the stove.  I hear they can be amazing if cooked right.

I'm using an electric double sided grill for that, they're good but if you want to try this I don't recommend anything thick. Electric grill does best with thin slices as it doesn't get as hot as the gas one.

I like to cook, mostly Bread and Eggs or Maggi.

Loved it both.

I cook just about everything but I not bad with pasta and fish in general.
I'm also trying to learn to cook the meat, but not being a huge fan of it (I'm not a vegetarian).

I always like to make Wentelteefjes I think it's a dutch meal ill post a recipy:

http://www.dutchcooking.net/breakfast/wentelteefjes.html (http://www.dutchcooking.net/breakfast/wentelteefjes.html)

This is a link to it, very nice if you never had any and you are getting hungry from this topic!

Also i like to make egg where i leave the yellow part a little soft.
And I put cheese and salami on the egg.
Toast 2 sandwiches and put the egg on the toasted bread.
That's a really nice lunch to!

For dinner I like to have taco's, I went on vacation to Aruba alot and that's where i learned about Taco bell!
Best taco's ever, so we started to have them for dinner once a while.

This is always a good fall back if you like spicy Thai food:

http://www.realthairecipes.com/recipes/stir-fried-pork-with-holy-basil/ (http://www.realthairecipes.com/recipes/stir-fried-pork-with-holy-basil/)

You can always tone down the amount of chili of you don't like it too hot.

I really like the way the egg is deep fried. It's pretty different and good. Can get a bit crispy on the edges.

Pork is the most common meat people use, but chicken and beef work nicely as well.

i still love me some kraft mac and cheese, just like when i was a kid.....

Like a George Foreman grill? I use to use one when I rented an apartment years ago and wasn't allowed a BBQ on the deck.  They work great, but i was thinking something more like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEx9gPhtjzs

Just seems like a lot more work compared to the BBQ, probably why i haven't tried it yet.  That, and a good cut of beef isn't cheap and I hate wasting food if I screw it up.

White rice with green bean.

Yea, I think there are 2 reasons ppl don't cook for themselves.

1. They can't. I know someone who even do badly at cooking instant noodle. Can you imagine that? Yea, I can, I taste it, and its hardly edible. I dunno how she make it, but it seriously, waste of food to let her cook.

2. They lazy. As u said, even if we can cook, at least properly (instant noodle, rice, egg, you name it), we won't do it if we don't feel like doing it, and have someone do it instead.

Just beware with a girl/woman who says they can't cook. You MUST believe them. (experience is the best teacher after all...)

Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich - Delicious and easy to do, if you want to make it less calories, skip the bun and have the lettuce on the side.

Haha, how is it possible to mess up instant noodles? It's just pouring powered in to the hot water.

lazy days will surely end up on instant noodles  ;D
but when im at the mood on making something i prepare beef brocolli or some chicken adobo with a lot of garlic and with her partner ms mashed potato or some shawarma or some vegatable i like to aet a lot on a cold weather but since summer is still here on my country i dont have enough appetite to make some good food

You should have eaten them plain lol

I love BBQ :) Can't stay away!

I used to do a sort of mod to that. rather than cheese slices, I had Cheez wiz and dropped a large tablespoon or so of that into ramen noodles after I drained them. Never used much, if at all of the seasoning packet, really when I did that.

I'm not a great cook, i can only prepare salad, pasta, toast, sandwiches etc.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely try out that one.

BTW... a lot of video recipes are available from the YouTube... I am going through some of them... so hopefully, I'll soon be able to expand my list.  ;D

These days I've been getting into making my own pizza.  Not a fan of the pizza chains these days, and all the small pizza shops pretty much suck that are close by.

I have found a great pizza crust that I can buy at a local store.  I'm not fan of regular pizza sauce so I end up using Bulls Eye BBQ sauce  I cook up some maple bacon to use as bacon bits and then cook some boneless chicken breast in some of the bacon grease and raw chopped up garlic to add flavor. I let it cool a bit and then cut it into pieces.

I buy some quality pizza mozzarella and use that for the bottom after the sauce.  I then use some thick sliced ham cut into pieces for the first topping. I'll use the chicken next and then put on a second layer of cheese.

Lastly, I'll crumble the bacon chunks on top and sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on the top.

Fried chicken! Delicious

Well, i like to make a stack of waffles and put some Nutella on them. Deliciousness served!!!! If not, i always make myself a tea and drink it watching tv.

Egg  ;D

http://www.egullet.com/imgs/egci/eggs/eggcomp.jpg

Right now, I'm cooking some Fettuccine Alfredo con Pollo. My mother's recipe for Alfredo sauce simply cannot be beat! Fixing some bread and olive pesto and a nice fresh salad as well. This is what I like to cook. :)

My best dish is spaghetti carbonara. I also make a great pot of Texas red.   

The best I can do on my own is probably some fried rice or blueberry pancackes.  Fortunately got the wifey to keep me alive  ;D

What is Texas red? I googled it and the results were not food related. If I were to guess, I'd say you were talking about chili. But I'm not sure.

Cuz it summer time soon and really hot I dont want to spend to many time in kitchen so i try to make fast food (bot burgers and stuff)

Something that is good but eatable like rise with some vegetables and little bit of chicken meat or some chicken soup even cooked fish with potato salad.

Best thing George Foreman grill makes great toasties. Butter both sides put in 2 cheese slices then add :
1. Thinly sliced honey roast ham
2. Marmite
3. Sliced tomato
4. Pickled jalapeños
5. Tuna with mayo
6. Or any combination of the above

I usually stick to 1. and serve with a nice big mug of tea.

home made pizza pasta and baking my own chocolate mousse. yumyum.. :)

TODAY I AM TRYING TO MAKE THIS FOR MY SELF HOPE IT WILL BE FINE

FISH FRY

(Meen Varuval, Meen Porichathu, Grilled Fish, Broiled Fish)
Ingredients
Fish Pieces - 1 lb (1/2 kg)
Red Chilly Powder - 3 tsp
Corriander Powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp
Garlic Powder - 1/2 tsp (or use 1/2 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste)
Curry Leaves - 1 spring (chopped)
Lemon Juice - 1 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Oil - for frying

Method
1. Wash the fish thoroughly and cut it into pieces.
2. Mix the chilly powder, corriander powder, pepper powder, turmeric powder, chopped curry leaves,  garlic powder and salt in a bowl.
3. Add the lemon juice and make a smooth spice paste.
4. Apply this paste over the fish pieces. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
5. Shallow fry the pieces till both sides are brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes on each side).
6. Serve with rice and some curry or serve as an appetizer.

i like the asian cuisine.

so chicken breast with some ginger, lemon grass, soy sauce. maybe a lil bit of coconut milk

you can do many different kind of styles and easily mix your own curry pastes etc.

Poor man's pizza: cheese on toast with oregano and ketchup.

I figured I'd try something new last night on the BBQ.

You take boneless, skinless chicken breast filets and flatten them out a bit.  I chopped up some jalapeno, and mixed it in with some creme cheese.  Put a ball of the mixture in the middle of the chicken breast.  Wrapped them up and then wrapped them in bacon with some toothpicks to keep them together.

They can be a bit of a pain on the BBQ, but if you keep any eye on them, it's not all that bad.

Low heat is the key to cook the chicken without burning the bacon.  After some trial and error with a a few, I found that using the top warming wrack to crisp the bacon a bit worked good without over cooking the chicken.

hey could you tech me how make this dish?
because looking so good

ok i say goodbye to summer here in my country but i still not in the mood to cook so much because i am the only person here in my house  ::) husband is away so i can only cook a dish for one person so it could be instant or a 10 mins food  ;D

Shit dude that looks nice, will have to try making some of them soon.

today I am trying to make chicken tandoori for lunch hope everything will be fine at the time of eating

TANDOORI CHICKEN

INGREDIENTS
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 Tbsp garam masala
1 Tbsp sweet (not hot) paprika
1 cup plain yogurt
2 Tbsp lemon juice
4 minced garlic cloves
2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon salt
4 whole chicken legs (drumsticks and thighs), or its equivalent, skinless, bone-in

METHOD

1 Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat, then cook the coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, garam masala and paprika, stirring often, until fragrant (approximately 2-3 minutes). Let cool completely.

2 Whisk in the cooled spice-oil mixture into the yogurt, then mix in the lemon juice, garlic, salt and ginger.

3 Cut deep slashes (to the bone) in 3-4 places on the leg/thigh pieces. Just make 2-3 cuts if you are using separate drumsticks and thighs. Coat the chicken in the marinade, cover and chill for at least an hour (preferably 6 hours), no more than 8 hours.

4 Prepare your grill so that one side is quite hot over direct heat, the other side cooler, not over direct heat. If using charcoal, leave one side of the grill without coals, so you have a hot side and a cooler side. If you are using a gas grill, just turn on one-half of the burners. Use tongs to wipe the grill grates with a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil. Take the chicken out of the marinade and shake off the excess. You want the chicken coated, but not gloppy. Put the chicken pieces on the hot side of the grill and cover. Cook 2-3 minutes before checking.

5 Turn the chicken so it is brown (even a little bit charred) on all sides, then move it to the cool side of the grill. Cover and cook for at least 20 minutes, up to 40 minutes (or longer) depending on the size of the chicken and the temperature of the grill. The chicken is done when its juices run clear.

Let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. It’s also great at room temperature or even cold the next day.

i am getting hungier now  :P must cook some good dishes tonight for dinner maybe an italian pasta or some japanese food

Thanks.  They turned out better than I thought they would.  Someone on my facebook posted this recipe and I just played with it.

http://www.closetcooking.com/2012/11/bacon-wrapped-jalapeno-popper-stuffed.html

I was gonna try to make it as the recipe said, but it was rather warm out and I already had the chicken breast fillets sitting around.  That, and I like to use any excuse to BBQ on the deck when it's nice out, LOL!

I had a bunch of left over bacon and I just laid it out right on the grill.  Never BBQ'd bacon before, but it turned out really good. The BBQ gave it a good smokey flavor.

i love to cook for myself different flavors of burrito, quesadilla, pizza, pasta and salads. so great foods.

Waffles for the win all day every day! With some ice cream if needed hehe

Try then to watch 24kichen cable channel if you from Europe, or any other. On this they have shows with 30 min meal that is good and tasty.
My wife and I tried some and there are good easy to make and even easier to eat.

I've seen some of those before with ham but those look delicious
Bacon and meat on the grill perhaps even put some cheese and grill it
That or chicken as you used

Thanks for the good idea a good way to make something in the summer while saving a bit of cash
Darn Meat prices won't get in the way when it comes to the grill :P

Hmmm.... like the ham idea, may have to give that a shot.  Think I'm gonna try using Swiss cheese next time. It'll definitely have more of a bite to it. I love cheese that has a sharp flavor to it.

Yeah, meat prices are getting a bit insane this year, luckily my local butcher hasn't passed on much of the cost yet.  Making those was pretty cheap.  Could definitely be made even cheaper with a cheaper cut of chicken. The fillets are a little pricey, but i had them sitting around and they needed to be used up.

Another dish I like to make is crock pot lasagna. Tonnes of recipes on Google. Makes for really cheap lunches.  I'll make it on a Sunday, portion it out, put it in freezer containers, and throw it in the freezer.  Take one out in the morning for work and it's usually thawed enough by lunch to warm it up in the microwave easily.

This sounds really good. As long as you don't mess it up I'm sure it will be good ;)
