Dad's Recipe

Taki's Level of Difficulty for the Average College Student: heart - stressed
Though this is primarily a 'breakfast' item, I like to eat this for dinner, too.

2 corn torillas (the small kind you buy at capistran)
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup diced tomato (optional)
1/4 cup diced onion (optional)
1 serrano pepper (optional)

Cut corn tortillas into bite size pieces. In skillet heat about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add pieces of tortillas. Stir in skillet until the tortilla pieces are a little crisp. Add tomato, serrano peppers, onions if desired, add eggs and mix together. Add salt & pepper to taste.

I use olive oil, so the recipe is generally healthy. If you want, you can use butter.

Absolutely! Large quantities of food is encouraged anyway. College students need food. (Especially during midterms and finals. ;_;

Chicken Tettrazini stressed
Requires: Stove
((for vegitarian, leave out the chicken and use veggie broth. tastes pretty good)) ((after thanksgiving, we cut up leftover turkey and use veggie broth rather then the chicken, its okay, not as good as chicken))

Noodles (any kind) 1 pound. Prepare as directions indicate.
Chicken, how ever much looks good. We normally use 6 chicken breasts or 15 chicken tenders. Frozen works fine Boil them till done (called poaching), cut into cubes.

Those two things can happen while you make:
the sauce!

melt 2 tablespoons of butter (or your favorite substitute) in a sauce pan. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour, and cook for 2 minutes (this is called a reux, will thicken sauce.) stir in one can of chicken broth (thats 2 cups). Add a cup and a half of milk, a dash of salt, pepper, and garlic powder (i don't care how much you like garlic, no more then a small dash). Add 3/4 a cup parmessian cheese (the stuff out of a can works fine), and cook till its warm through and thick as you want it. The chicken can be added at any point after the cheese goes in. Make sure to stir it well enough the whole time that the sauce won't burn to the bottom of the pot.


Mix sauce, chicken and noodles together. Serves lots. Freezes well, best in individual servings.

Cheap stroganoff heart or maybe stressed

1 pound egg noodles, 1 pound beef (either ground, or cubed, or whatever, its really not that big a deal), garlic (fresh is better), sour cream (the amount depends on your tastes) and 1 can cambells cream of mushroom soup (the concentrated one, that says to add water)

Boil the noodles, following package directions.

Put the beef and garlic (normally about 2 cloves or a couple dashes of garlic powder) into a hot pan. Cook the beef so its completely done. Add in the cream of mushroom (on top of all those juices) stir. Cook till warmed, and noodles are ready. Take off heat. Add sour cream (we normally get the smallest container we can find and then put half in a batch, depends on tastes). Mix all together.

If freezing, freeze -before- putting the sour cream in.
