Great food for those who hate to cook, lack experience or time, or just like easy stuff

You will need

1 pack of 2 shoulder or roundbone lamb chops
packet of rosemary
1-2 tsbp. olive oil (I use a capful)

Take chops out of package, rinse meat in warm water, put in skillet. Add capful of olive oil (about 1-2 tsbp.). Season chops with rosemary on one side, flip over with spatula, season with rosemary on the other side. Turn heat on high. Turn on stove fan, it can get a little smoky but the flavor is worth it.

Flip chops every 2 minutes until done (about 13 mins. for medium rare, 15 mins. for done).

That's it! and it's wonderfully flavorful!

of the George Foreman (or other brand) Grill???!!!

That is how I cook everyday. It is sort of like cooking crockpot style only more immediate. I am about 95% vegetarian, so this is super duper easy.

Plug in grill set to high.

Get big bowl.

Chop up veggies of your choice: I like super foods like broccoli, zucchini, red peppers, onions, garlic, ginger.

Chop up protein of your choice: I like tempeh.

Spray cooking oil on bottom tray of now hot grill.

Dump in chopped up ingredients.

Spray cooking oil on top of chopped up ingredients.

Close grill.

Go have cup of tea and watch MSNBC.

When you start to smell the onions it is ready.

Unplug grill

Spatula up all cooked ingredients put back in bowl.

Squirt Braggs or soy sauce over top.

Yummy and done!

If you need a carb/starch I like rice cakes or a tortilla (which you can warm on the cooling grill) and make it a wrap.

Key's post reminded me of a veggie meal that I used to eat frequently back in my young single days. I called it "walk-around salad"

Fix a salad any way you like it, stir in any dressing you like. Stuff it into an opened half pita bread, sprinkle the cheese of your choice on top, and enjoy. It is simple but delicious. And you can "walk around" and eat it. Great if you're on a quick lunch break and you watched "All My Children" too long before you headed back to work!
Smooches,

I swore up and down I didn't like tomato soup.

MBE changed my mind.

1 big can of cambells tomato soup
3 - 4 diced italian tomatoes
3/4 container of parmesan cheese

Dump soup in crock pot. Add a can of milk and a can of water (from the soup can). Add tomatoes. Add cheese

Stir.

Turn on.

Done in about 3 hrs.

Yummy, fast...
-----------

Another soup Mom makes me...

Hamburger meat (however much you want or none at all)
Onion
Few cans of mixed veggies
Few cans of tomatoes

Mom also would use leftover veggies for this.

Brown the meat. Drain. Dump in crockpot or pan. Dice onion. Dump in drained mixed veggies. Dump in cans.

Takes about 20 min to prep.

Cooks in crockpot all day.

This is what we had for dinner last night.

Sloppy Joes

Put a pound or more of whatever ground meat you prefer (last night I used ground sirloin) in a pan and cook it. I put water in with it. It cooks faster, and you can reduce the fat by pouring off the water as soon as the meat cooks. Add 1 - 8 ounce can tomato sauce per pound of meat. If you have poured the water off, fill the emptied can of tomato sauce with water and pour that in. Stir. Add whatever sweetener you want - sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, etc. Go easy - it doesn't take much!!! You can also put coke or pepsi in the tomato can instead of water - I have heard it is good that way. I use artificial sweetener, 2 little paper packs per pound.

Serve it on a roll, a slice of good bread, or if you are like my kids, rip the bread up in to teeny tiny pieces and then put the joe over it

Last night we had boxed macaroni and cheese, and canned peas (Keri was tired) I did bring a certain amount of nutrition in to the picture, by preparing a large tray of fruit... bing cherries, strawberries, chunked up mangoes and apples.

iamkeri1 · 08-09-2010, 10:32 AM

Yummy Yummy Yummy

1 can diced pineapple
1 can mandarin oranges
1 jar maraschino cherries
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mini marshmallows

Drain the juices into a glass - my kids fight over it

Dump all the ingredients into a bowl, stir and serve.

This is the basic recipe. I almost always add a cup of shredded coconut. Most any kind of nut works well, but I only use 1/2 cup. I often replace the pineapple with sliced peaches. and much of the time, I use all fresh fruit. Go with what you've got, but pick fruits with lots of color to dazzle the eye!

This is pretty much how my former roomie made Caesar salad pockets. Only thing different is grilled chicken strips...and Caesar salad mix....Caesar dressing of course...although I think I'd like to add that Greek sauce I can't spell...trader joes makes a good one...and maybe add some olives and feta...
