-Scalloped potatoes. Just slice up 2 - 4 potatoes (the thinner the better, usually, they'll be cooked through easier and in a shorter amount of time) and add whatever veggies you feel like, cut in any way. I like whole asparagus, sliced onion, coarsely shredded carrot, etc. Some people like to lay down a layer of tatoes in a baking dish, and then a layer of veggies, then potatoes, but I just usually just mix them up and throw them in the dish. You'll want to cut up maybe 6 pads of butter, depending on how deep your dish is, and then space these equally on top of everything. If you have it, I encourage you to put cheese on top. Bake on 350 for 45min - 1hr, or until cheese is pretty browned. My wife and I like these dishes anyways =]
Pasta Sauce1 can of tomato. Some fresh parsley. A little bit of onion. A quarter carrot. A small piece of celery if you have it. Salt and butter. Fry the diced onion for 1-2 minutes in butter. Add canned tomato (italian if you can find it, with nothing added - so no garlic, basil, etc) + salt Put in piece of carrot and celery (and a clove of garlic if you wish, whole - this is just there for flavor and you take all of it out before serving) Cook for 30-45 minutes, add parsley 5-10 minutes before done. Serve with pasta. Great way to impress friends and potential girlfriends, because it's really that good, and almost no work.
Easy, cheap and amazing curry recipe. You need: red curry paste ($3.99, will last for about four meals); 1 red onion ($0.89); 4-6 red potatoes ($1.50); 1 can chickpeas ($0.79); sugar; oil. Other vegetables you can add are mushrooms, peppers, carrots, or, if you're feeling adventurous, apples. Serve with rice, rice noodles, cous-cous, or for dipping with French or Calabrese bread. 1. Chop potatoes into edible-sized pieces and boil until almost eating-consistency. Add curry powder/paste or sugar if you're feeling adventurous. 2. Chop onions roughly and fry, along with 1/2tbsp curry paste, in 1tbsp oil until they are translucent and have filled your kitchen with an aroma that will attract people for yards and yards. 3. Once onions are where you want them, add chickpeas, potatoes once properly boiled as per #1, and other optional vegetables. Add one more 1/2tbsp curry paste, and fry for about 15/20 minutes. 4. After frying for 5-10 minutes, add 1 tbsp sugar and stir in while continuing to fry. 5. Add 1/2-cup water or so, and bring to a low, soft boil. Boil off the extra liquid until the curry is at a desirable consistency. Not too runny, but not so thick it turns into mush. 6. Let cool for about 20 minutes on very low temperature; then serve! This is an important step, as the curry cools the flavours and spices will infuse and will make the meal taste far better.
