Add your cream cheese to a large can of chili and some salsa. Heat it on the stove or microwave and it becomes a tasty dip for tortilla chips or Fritos.What are some quick easy recipes you can make with 2, 8 oz. packages of cream cheese?
Easiest thing in the world.
Cucumber and cheese slices.
Take a large cucumber and peel it in alternating ribbons (one row peeled, one row unpeeled etc) Cut off the ends
Take an ejecting corer (pampered chef has an awesome one)and remove the center of the cucumber. Throw away
Unwrap the cream cheese and ';core it'; (take the corer and stick it through the center of the cream cheese length wise)
Insert the corer into the hollowed cucumber and then press the ejecting button, leaving the cream cheese inside of the cucumber.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hrs. Remove from fridge, slice cucumbers and arrange them on a plate.
Another good recipe is to mix softened cream cheese with strawberry preserves as a spread for crackers or bagels.What are some quick easy recipes you can make with 2, 8 oz. packages of cream cheese?
add a can of salasa and you've got dip
Place it on a plate, pour a jar of cocktail sauce over it. Then add 1 to 2 cans of drained baby shrimp ( depending on taste) and serve with crackers.
Cheese ball-
2 8oz packages of cream cheese (low-fat)
1 bunch green onions, chopped fine
1 package pastrami lunch meat, chopped
1 T garlic powder
1 T balsamic vinegar
go to allrecipes.com and then you can search for recipes that have 8 oz. pkgs of cream cheese!
I low carb, so I'd roll it up in some sliced deli meat (like turkey...yum) and then nuke it for a bit to make it warm..or eat it cold. YUM
Of course, if not low carbing, there's always a bagel.
makes a great lemon frosting if you add lemon juice
Seafood dip
2 pkg Cream cheese
1 btl cocktail sauce
2 can tiny shrimp
Mix sauce and shrimp together , pour over cr. cheese.
Serve with crackers
Mexi dip

None of these meals takes more than 15 minutes to prepare. Although some take a while to cook. All are very good if you ask me.
Chick peas, diced tomatoes with chili peppers, curry, garlic, and ginger. Better with fresh, but fine with canned/dried.
Brussel sprouts boiled in 1/4 red wine vinegar, 3/4 water, 1/4 stick butter. I don't like sprouts, but these are tasty.
Fry up crispy bacon. Drain most of the fat. Add sliced potatoes sliced. Fry a while. Add sliced onions. Crumble on bacon. Add salt, pepper, garlic. Yum.
Brown hamburger dice and add an onion. Boil macaroni and drain. Add one can cream of mushroom soup, salt, and way more pepper than you think would be good.
Salad.
Instant chili. Brown hamburger. Add diced onion. 1 can red beans, 1 can stewed tomatoes, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 big can mushrooms, chili powder to taste. I like garlic too.
Take two pieces of heavy duty foil, crimp them longways to make one big sheet and line a lasagna pan with it. Put in very marbled flat roast. Add potatos, carrots, celery, onion. In a 4 cup measuring cup mix 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1/2 can milk. Pour on top. SLOWLY sprinkle one bag dry onion soup over the whole thing. Crimp sides of foil tightly to seal it all together and then bake for 3 hours on 350.
Get a bag of 12 bean soup and follow the recipe. Simple and delicious.
Rice boiled in 1/2 water - 1/2 chicken broth. Add butter and salt and tumeric (just makes it pretty). Add a drained can of corn.
1 can corn, 1 can cream corn, 1 box jiffy corn muffen mix, 1/4 stick butter, diced onion. Mix and pour into greased pan. Cover with small sour cream and a bag of grated cheese. Bake 350 until it doesn't jiggle.
Steam broccoli and season with old bay.
Boil spinach. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup. Season with salt and pepper.
Egg noodles, butter, salt, garlic, parmesan. Old standby that I personally LOVE.
Boil carrots. Drain almost all of the liquid. Add honey, salt, and lots of basil.
A box of mac and cheese, 1 can of drained peas, one can of 1/2 drained tuna. Pepper.
Fry up frozen wontons on both sides. On side mix soy sauce, szechuan sauce, hoisen sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and enough honey to make it sweet but not taste like honey. Cover wontons and reduce.
Melt 1 stick butter in microwave. Dip and fry small chicken wings. Add remaining butter and cover with hot sauce and fry some more. Serve with chunky blue cheese dressing and celery. Good with a little honey too.
I can go on and on. I love cooking and my limit is about 15 minutes prep.I need some quick, easy recipes for some good chow. any suggestions?

Pasta with pesto sauce,
Just cook the pasta like you usually cook it if you like you can cook a lot of pasta and then keep it in the refrigerator. (usually the longest time is with the pasta so if you keep it in the refrigerator the sauce is not a big deal)
the sauce is very simple, you have to cut garlic and onions in small parts, then bring to the fire in a skillet with olive oil and some mushrooms in pieces, then add milk cream, and then one tea spoon of pesto sauce (in the super you can get it), wait for 2 minutes and then add the pasta to the skillet in order to warm it and thats all.

Where can I find recipes for quick, easy and nutritious meals that don't require tons of ingredients?
My husband is so picky - he hates most vegetables, so recipes with anything too 'exotic' is out. He did say that if I cook it, he'll eat it, and I intend to hold him to that. I don't care much for cooking though, and would prefer to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible. Help!Where can I find recipes for quick, easy and nutritious meals that don't require tons of ingredients?
On the cooking channel watch Rachel Ray's '30 Minute Meals'. They are very good and not toally bad for you. And best of all you are eating in 30 minutes or less! If you can't catch her on TV she has a cookbook by the same name. They are awesome recipes! She takes a little getting used to though!Where can I find recipes for quick, easy and nutritious meals that don't require tons of ingredients?
www.cookinglight.com
This is a great site to find different ideas:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/
www.allrecipes.com has links to quick and easy recipes. I also like www.marthastewart.com because her Everyday Food magazine (that you can buy in the store) has really good recipes with simple ingredients, plus lots of information about health and nutrition.
Quick Cooking magazine is good.
kraftfoods.com is great!
When I was a kid, I use to see this guy on the news. He always had good easy recipes. His name was Mr. Food and the link to his site is below.
I usually do well searching www.foodnetwork.com
You can search thier database for any recipe.

I want to make dinner for my boyfriend. What are recipes of quick, easy foods that are also fancy looking?
I don't know why I can't answer twice, so I'll add it here! Here's a couple recipes that are easy but he won't know it!
Darn! Meant to say, you can use shrimp instead of chicken in this one %26amp; it's sooo good!
Chicken %26amp; Broccoli Alfredo with Peppers
Chicken, raw-diced (boneless/skinless is easiest, I usually use 1 large breast) 1/2 sliced onion 1 1/2 cups diced peppers (I use green, red, yellow - whatever) garlic, salt, pepper to taste: add all into large frying pan (use olive oil or butter if not a non-stick pan) cook on medium til done. Pour in 1 jar alfredo sauce, add 1/4 cup milk to the empty jar, shake it up, pour that in, simmer on low while you cook the pasta (I do 4 servings of linguine) %26amp; steam or microwave the fresh broccoli florets. If you want to cheat on the broccoli, thaw frozen florets ahead of time %26amp; cook right in the pasta pot. Put pasta on plate, then broccoli, and spoon alfredo mix over it. This takes me about 45 minutes, start to finish, but it's easier than it sounds! And tastes great with garlic bread %26amp; salad, or alone!
Steak or Pork Stir Fry
Steak or pork, cut into strips. Package of frozen stir fry veggies, pre-made jar sauce or package you mix- I use teriyaki or sweet and sour. 1/2 can pineapple chunks (drained) Rice or thin noodles. Start rice now if using non-instant. Mix meat, sauce %26amp; pineapple in frying pan, cook on medium until meat is done. While that's cooking, start instant rice or noodles cooking AND the veggies. I microwave the veggies for 2 minutes less than the package says %26amp; toss them in the sauce mix for 2 minutes instead. Mix meat/veggies, put on top of rice or pasta. Sprinkle it with sesame seeds if you want to dress it up.
Hope these make sense! Any questions, ask. I have a good spaghetti pie recipe too. Good luck!
What kinds of food does he like? Or dislike, for that matter? I have a few recipes for chicken, steak, broccoli, alfredo but it would help to have more info about his %26amp; your tastes.I want to make dinner for my boyfriend. What are recipes of quick, easy foods that are also fancy looking?
I would spend time making some yummy and cute appetizers. My fiancee (who also likes food of all kinds) really loves hammy roll-ups. buy a pound of that cheap rectangle ham--';deli ham'; not the fancy honey or smoked. spread room temp cream cheese on each piece. roll up a washed green onion in it, then carefully slice (about 1/2 in) so that you have cute swirls of ham. If you don't like green onion, you can also use pickle instead.
you could also buy some of those mine egg rolls-mmmm
Whatever you serve, make it well-rounded. serve bread w/maybe some seasonings and olive oil for dipping, a veggie, and dessert--you could do shortcake or buy one of those sara lee square cakes.
set the table nice, clean up the kitchen some, light a few candles etc. :)
Oh, and if you have time/motivation, this link is good and easy, too. :)even if you've never roasted a chicken.I want to make dinner for my boyfriend. What are recipes of quick, easy foods that are also fancy looking?

cornish game hens are fancy looking, and easy to make on the grill (place hens in foil pan coated with cooking spray. Grill over indirect heat for 15 min per pound or until 180 degrees)

5. Tyson's fully cooked whole chickens are delicious. I serve them often with S%26amp;W canned sweet potatoes, Stove-Top dressing, microwave chicken/turkey gravy in jars, a canned vegetable, canned cranberry sauce, and frozen Pillsbury Microwave Biscuits which are better than I can make. A frozen pie defrosted and fully cooked. Perfect for one or two people at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
6. Another thing you can do is cook in a slow cooker or a crock-pot. You put the meat meal into the crock-pot in the morning and it cooks all day long. The meal is ready at dinner time. Crock-pots can be bought at your grocery store, WalMart, Target, etc. BE SURE to read the booklet that comes with the crock-pot.

Any kind of pasta is pretty fast cooking. I like to add a twist to some of my favorite meals to make them even quicker. For example, I LOVE enchiladas but they take awhile to make so instead i cook my chicken and add spices but then i take a casserole dish and make layers of my chicken, sauce, tortillas and cheese :) You'll have all of the yummy flavor but with about half the work. If your chicken is fully cooked before hand I usually put it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Goodluck!
Cook some egg noodles, drain, add some cream soup ( mushroom, chicken, etc.), cooked chopped chicken or drained, flaked tuna and some cooked frozen peas. Throw in some shredded cheese, if you like. Mix well. Bake in oven at 350 for @ 30 min. and enjoy!!
Roast Chicken.
1 5-6lb chicken, wing tips removed
1 lemon -- halved
4 whole garlic cloves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (optional)
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup homemade or canned chicken broth -- water,
fruit juice or wine, for deglazing
Place oven rack on second level from bottom. Heat oven to 500 degrees.
Remove the fat from the tail and crop end of the chicken. Discard the neck and giblets or freeze for making chicken stock later. Reserve chicken livers for another use.
Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the lemon, garlic and butter, if using. Season the cavity and skin with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken in a 12-by-8-by-1 1/2-inch roasting pan, breast-side up. Put in the oven legs first and roast 50 to 60 minutes, or until the juices run clear. After the first 10 minutes, move the chicken with a wooden spatula to keep it from sticking.
Remove the chicken to a platter by placing a large wooden spoon into the tail end and balancing the chicken with a kitchen spoon pressed against the crop end. As you lift the chicken, tilt it over the roasting pan so that all the juices run out of the cavity and into the pan. Pour off excess fat from the pan and put the pan on top of the stove. Add the stock or other liquid and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Let reduce by half. Serve the sauce over the chicken or, for crisp skin, in a sauce boat.
Pasta is very fast and Delicious. I do not know any good recipes but just pasta with sauce would work or with cheese.
for me fast and easy is sticking everything in the oven and cooking it...
take pork loin chops or chicken breast...dredge in a little. flour .
heat about 3 T oil in a skillet on med high..put chops in and quickly brown both sides(they will not be cooked) and remove to a casserole dish with lid...to same skillet add 2 T butter let melt 1 onion and one green pepper sliced...cook about a min then add 1 cup of broth. ..slowly de-glazing the pan....bring to a boil then pour over chops....cover casserole dish..and bake for 35 at 350.....

Any kind of pasta is pretty fast cooking. I like to add a twist to some of my favorite meals to make them even quicker. For example, I LOVE enchiladas but they take awhile to make so instead i cook my chicken and add spices but then i take a casserole dish and make layers of my chicken, sauce, tortillas and cheese :) You'll have all of the yummy flavor but with about half the work. If your chicken is fully cooked before hand I usually put it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Goodluck!
Cook some egg noodles, drain, add some cream soup ( mushroom, chicken, etc.), cooked chopped chicken or drained, flaked tuna and some cooked frozen peas. Throw in some shredded cheese, if you like. Mix well. Bake in oven at 350 for @ 30 min. and enjoy!!
Roast Chicken.
1 5-6lb chicken, wing tips removed
1 lemon -- halved
4 whole garlic cloves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (optional)
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup homemade or canned chicken broth -- water,
fruit juice or wine, for deglazing
Place oven rack on second level from bottom. Heat oven to 500 degrees.
Remove the fat from the tail and crop end of the chicken. Discard the neck and giblets or freeze for making chicken stock later. Reserve chicken livers for another use.
Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the lemon, garlic and butter, if using. Season the cavity and skin with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken in a 12-by-8-by-1 1/2-inch roasting pan, breast-side up. Put in the oven legs first and roast 50 to 60 minutes, or until the juices run clear. After the first 10 minutes, move the chicken with a wooden spatula to keep it from sticking.
Remove the chicken to a platter by placing a large wooden spoon into the tail end and balancing the chicken with a kitchen spoon pressed against the crop end. As you lift the chicken, tilt it over the roasting pan so that all the juices run out of the cavity and into the pan. Pour off excess fat from the pan and put the pan on top of the stove. Add the stock or other liquid and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom vigorously with a wooden spoon. Let reduce by half. Serve the sauce over the chicken or, for crisp skin, in a sauce boat.
Pasta is very fast and Delicious. I do not know any good recipes but just pasta with sauce would work or with cheese.
for me fast and easy is sticking everything in the oven and cooking it...
take pork loin chops or chicken breast...dredge in a little. flour .
heat about 3 T oil in a skillet on med high..put chops in and quickly brown both sides(they will not be cooked) and remove to a casserole dish with lid...to same skillet add 2 T butter let melt 1 onion and one green pepper sliced...cook about a min then add 1 cup of broth. ..slowly de-glazing the pan....bring to a boil then pour over chops....cover casserole dish..and bake for 35 at 350.....

Pineapple Chicken With Sweet and Sour Sauce
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups oil for deep-frying, or as needed
6 chicken thighs, skin on
Marinade:
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Vegetables:
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 green bell pepper
1 large carrot
1/2 cup pineapple chunks (reserve 3/4 cup juice from can)
Batter:
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups flat soda water, or as needed
1 teaspoon finely diced green onion
Sweet and Sour Sauce Ingredients:
3/4 cup pineapple juice (reserved juice from canned pineapple)
4 tablespoons vinegar (white or rice vinegar)
3 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 4 tablespoons water
PREPARATION:
Directions for making Pineapple Chicken:
Pre-heat the oil for deep-frying to between 360 - 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut the meat from the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Add the marinade ingredients to the chicken, mixing in the cornstarch last.
Marinate the chicken for 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables and batter. To prepare the vegetables, cut the red and green bell pepper into chunks. Peel the carrot and cut into 1-inch pieces on the diagonal. Drain the pineapple and reserve 3/4 cup of juice.
To prepare the batter, mix the baking powder and baking soda together well, and stir into to the other dry ingredients. Gradually add the oil. Add 1 1/4 cups of the soda, then stir in as much of the remaining 1/4 cup soda as is needed. Mix well, and add the diced green onion. Mix the chicken in the batter until it is well coated.
Deep-fry the chicken. While the process is very quick, the chicken should not turn brown immediately - if it does the oil is too hot. Place the deep-fried chicken pieces on a tray lined with paper towels to drain. (Do not cover the chicken).
To prepare the sauce, bring the reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, and brown sugar to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the carrot, green pepper, and pineapple. Bring to a boil again and add the cornstarch mixture, stirring quickly to thicken. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt, or more sugar or vinegar if desired. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Serve hot.

I do stir-fried asian vegetables with crispy tofu nuggets. I'm not even vegetarian but I love it.
What you need is:
1 package of medium firm or firm tofu, drains and towel dried and cut into approx. 1'; cubes
1/2 cup corn starch
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder (optional)
Canola oil for frying
Mix the dry ingredients together in a plastic bag. Put the tofu in the bag and twist the opening closed leaving room in the bag to shake the tofu to coat.
Once all the pieces are coated fry them in canola oil that's about 350 F. If you don't have a thermometer you can tell if your oil is hot enough by putting the handle of a wooden spoon or chopstick into the oil and it bubbles briskly around the the wood.
Fry the tofu on all sides. It won't get very dark in colour but it will be very crispy. Remove the tofu from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Now the vegetables. I have no specific recipe for this because you just never know what's going to be available and fresh at the market on any given day.
My basic rule of thumb is a leafy green vegetable or cabbage or some kind, carrots, fresh garlic, onions (I use green onions), fresh chilies if you like it spicy, fresh ginger, fresh bean sprouts. It will really work with any kind of vegetable you like.
When stir frying you have to cut your vegetables so that they're all about the same size for even cooking, so if you decide to shred the cabbage, everything else needs to be shredded or julienned except for bean sprouts or snow peas. They'll be fine whole. Same if you leave them chunkier...everything should be about the same thickness.
If you want to have a bit of sauce with this dish, have a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/2 cup cold or room temp vegetable stock mixed and ready to go.
Also you should use the largest pan you have because the vegetables need a lot of space to cook properly. This is why woks work so well and you can get one for about 10 bucks at most asian markets. (don't get the cheap non stick, they only last through a few uses before the coating starts to flake off).
You'll need to have all your vegetables prepped before cooking. Chinese cooking moves very fast and if you stop to cut something up in the middle of cooking, you dish will likely overcook.
Here goes...
Heat 2 tablespoons (tbs) of canola or peanut oil to 350 F and add in your harder vegetables (carrots, cabbage, broccoli, celery). Stir fry for about 2 minutes and add the softer vegetables (garlic, chilies, cabbage, etc).
Add 1 tbs soy sauce, 1 tbs fish sauce if you have it, if not, add another tbs of soy sauce and one teaspoon white sugar. Stir fry this in about a minute longer and add the slurry and stir until the sauce thickens.
Plate on a platter and top with chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds and a good drizzle of toasted sesame oil. You can serve the tofu nuggets on top or on the side.
No problem run down to you local pet shop get nice sweet little kitty and a big dog add soya and curry fried rice this recipe you will know as it is in all chineses chop shops
i can give you the phone number for Top Wok on the high street
Go down to your nearest charity shop. The shelves there are simply groaning with all kinds of recipe books at bargain prices.
How about a sweet and sour chicken Casserole?
Just get a couple of chicken breasts and through them into a casserole pot. Throw in half a chopped onion and a tin of pineapples with the juice drained off. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for about forty minutes, add your sweet and sour sauce, bake for another five minutes (make sure your chicken is completely cooked though) Take out of the oven and serve over your rice.
Voila.
For a vegetarian option just bake the onion and pineapple. I can';t believe I wasted my time typing out that recipe and you like a gombean never told us it was vegetarian. You're on your own mate!

To prepare the sauce, bring the reserved pineapple juice, vinegar, and brown sugar to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the carrot, green pepper, and pineapple. Bring to a boil again and add the cornstarch mixture, stirring quickly to thicken. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt, or more sugar or vinegar if desired. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Serve hot.
vegetarian chow mein
Don't have fresh egg noodles on hand for this chow mein recipe? Try substituting an Italian pasta. For an added touch, try garnishing the chow mein with a few sprigs of fresh coriander leaves before serving.

I do stir-fried asian vegetables with crispy tofu nuggets. I'm not even vegetarian but I love it.
What you need is:
1 package of medium firm or firm tofu, drains and towel dried and cut into approx. 1'; cubes
1/2 cup corn starch
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder (optional)
Canola oil for frying
Mix the dry ingredients together in a plastic bag. Put the tofu in the bag and twist the opening closed leaving room in the bag to shake the tofu to coat.
Once all the pieces are coated fry them in canola oil that's about 350 F. If you don't have a thermometer you can tell if your oil is hot enough by putting the handle of a wooden spoon or chopstick into the oil and it bubbles briskly around the the wood.
Fry the tofu on all sides. It won't get very dark in colour but it will be very crispy. Remove the tofu from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Now the vegetables. I have no specific recipe for this because you just never know what's going to be available and fresh at the market on any given day.
My basic rule of thumb is a leafy green vegetable or cabbage or some kind, carrots, fresh garlic, onions (I use green onions), fresh chilies if you like it spicy, fresh ginger, fresh bean sprouts. It will really work with any kind of vegetable you like.
When stir frying you have to cut your vegetables so that they're all about the same size for even cooking, so if you decide to shred the cabbage, everything else needs to be shredded or julienned except for bean sprouts or snow peas. They'll be fine whole. Same if you leave them chunkier...everything should be about the same thickness.
If you want to have a bit of sauce with this dish, have a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/2 cup cold or room temp vegetable stock mixed and ready to go.
Also you should use the largest pan you have because the vegetables need a lot of space to cook properly. This is why woks work so well and you can get one for about 10 bucks at most asian markets. (don't get the cheap non stick, they only last through a few uses before the coating starts to flake off).
You'll need to have all your vegetables prepped before cooking. Chinese cooking moves very fast and if you stop to cut something up in the middle of cooking, you dish will likely overcook.
Here goes...
Heat 2 tablespoons (tbs) of canola or peanut oil to 350 F and add in your harder vegetables (carrots, cabbage, broccoli, celery). Stir fry for about 2 minutes and add the softer vegetables (garlic, chilies, cabbage, etc).
Add 1 tbs soy sauce, 1 tbs fish sauce if you have it, if not, add another tbs of soy sauce and one teaspoon white sugar. Stir fry this in about a minute longer and add the slurry and stir until the sauce thickens.
Plate on a platter and top with chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds and a good drizzle of toasted sesame oil. You can serve the tofu nuggets on top or on the side.
No problem run down to you local pet shop get nice sweet little kitty and a big dog add soya and curry fried rice this recipe you will know as it is in all chineses chop shops
i can give you the phone number for Top Wok on the high street
Go down to your nearest charity shop. The shelves there are simply groaning with all kinds of recipe books at bargain prices.
How about a sweet and sour chicken Casserole?
Just get a couple of chicken breasts and through them into a casserole pot. Throw in half a chopped onion and a tin of pineapples with the juice drained off. Season with salt and pepper. Bake for about forty minutes, add your sweet and sour sauce, bake for another five minutes (make sure your chicken is completely cooked though) Take out of the oven and serve over your rice.
Voila.
For a vegetarian option just bake the onion and pineapple. I can';t believe I wasted my time typing out that recipe and you like a gombean never told us it was vegetarian. You're on your own mate!
SPICY BEEF;
225g/8oz fillet steak
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp powdered star anise

1 bunch spring onions, halved lengthways
1tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp dry sherry
quarter tsp chilli sauce
150ml/ quarter pt /two thirds cup water
2 tsp cornflour
4 tsp water
1. Cut the steak into thin strips and place in a shallow dish.
2. Mix together the garlic, star anise and dark soy sauce in a bowl and pour over the steak strips, turning them to coat thoroughly. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
3. To make the sauce, heat the oil in a preheated wok. Reduce the heat, add the halved spring onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the wok with a slotted spoon and set aside.
4. Add the beef to the wok, together with marinade and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Return the halved spring onions and add the soy sauce, sherry, chilli sauce and two thirds of the water.
5. Blend the cornflour with the remaining water and stir into the wok. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sauce thickens and clears.
6. Transfer to a warm serving dish, garnish with spring onion tassels and serve immediately.

Cup Noodles

Fast Summer Spaghetti Salad
16 oz. mozzarella cheese
5 ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 C. fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped
1 large clove garlic, pressed
2 T. salt
1 T. olive oil
16 oz. thin spaghetti
salt and pepper
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Cut the mozzarella into small cubes and set aside in a small bowl. Combine the tomatoes, basil and garlic in another bowl.
When the water is boiling hard, add 2 tablespoons salt and the oil. Add the spaghetti and cook just until it is al dente. Do not overcook. Quickly drain the spaghetti and return it at once to the warm pot. Immediately stir in the mozzarella; the heat of the pasta will melt it slightly. Stir in the contents of the other bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature.
Serves 4 to 6.
cous cous salad:
Put cous cous (I dont bother measuring, just guess amounts depending on how many it is to feed!), thinly sliced red onion (or white onion, or spring onion), sultanas and sliced dried (ready to eat) apricots in a pan.
Add stock - not too much, just enough for the cous cous. Put the lid on the pan and leave it for a few mins - then fluff it up with a fork. The cous cous should be soft, but not soggy.
Add more veggies - I like sliced radishes, chopped cucumber, grated courgette, chopped tomatoes etc...whatever you like and have to hand. You can also add cheese (i.e. feta). At the last minute add in some chopped mint
Top it with a lamb steak (or beef, or chicken or whatever you like). The drizzle over a bit of salad dressing (I usually use olive oil, white wine vinegar, and a bit of cumin) and also add some pine nuts which have been toasted with cumin seeds if you like.
You should check out Dream Dinners, they are nation wide. It's a place where you assembly a months worth of dinner (but actual food) in under 2 hours and then cook them at home when you need them. The food is great and it's fun easy and best of all save you time shopping, cutting, chopping, cooking, and cleaning up for dinner.
make an open sandwich with chicken,lettuce,tomatoes,cheese,pepper and grill on a pan, eat with some boiled baby corns.for a dessert try some grapes and fatfree yoghurt.

I make this cake it is basically like strawberry shortcake. You need angel food cake (you can buy pre made loaves at a bakery), strawberries (I just get the frozen sliced ones to make it easier) and whip topping.
Layer it angel food, strawberries, angel food, whip topping on top.
If you want to get creative throw a few blue berries or strawberries on top
It only takes about 5 minutes and is extremely yummy!!!
My all time favorite is from Jello...
2 cups cold milk
2 pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding %26amp; Pie Filling
1 OREO Pie Crust (6 oz.)
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Chocolate Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
POUR milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mixes. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. or until well blended. (Mixture will be thick.)
SPREAD 1-1/2 cups of the pudding onto bottom of crust. Gently stir half of the whipped topping into remaining pudding. Spread over pudding layer in crust; top with the remaining whipped topping.
REFRIGERATE 3 hours or until set. Store leftover pie in refrigerator.
You can substitute any flavor of Jello and any type of crust. It is my FAVORITE!!! Very light and creamy!
