Welcome to Gaia! ::

I am bored and wish to cook new things.... especially simplish thingys.

Can you tell me anything? gonk
(needs something to make for lunch right now)

I cannot eat very spicy things, otherwise I like alot of stuff. My family is more picky than I am.

I wish I knew how to make a good soup though.
Other than egg drop soup.

Rice balls are yummy if you have the right rice.

I was going to suggest a rice dish too--onions, rice, spinach (you could add...spam. though we usually use sausage), paprika and mint. It's yummy. Especially with yogurt.

Oooh...I know another good one with poached eggs but you need plain yogurt...

If you're referring to the rice one, it's like this:

1/4-1/2 onion (diced)

1/4 c rice

1 cup chopped, frozen spinach (though you could use fresh or canned)

1/2 cup chopped sausage

paprika

salt

mint (dried)

plain yogurt (optional)


Sautee onions in oil until slightly soft. Add sausage and rice and sautee briefly. Add spinach, paprika, salt and mint. Sautee until spinach is slightly wilted. Add water and cook until rice is done.

Eat with yogurt.



(You can change up the measurements depending on your personal tastes. I like it with just a little spinach but Nicky likes it with a lot of spinach....)

Yeah...something like that.

Hmm... here is a website I use... >>

Mexican pasta XD or hamburger stew >.>

Vegetarian foccacia-
Greek fetta
Chargrilled capsicum (get it from the deli)
Tomato
Red onion
Olives
Turkish bread

Slice your fetta and layer the bottom slice of bread with it.
Layer your slices of tomato onto that.
Slice your onion and add as much as you wish to the tomato.
Slice long strips of the capsicum and layer them on top of the onion.
Halve your olives and add those too.
Finish with one more layer of fetta.
Grill until fetta begins to melt/softens.
I'm not vegetarian but I like this a lot. You can also try chicken, avocado, olive and spinach/beef, mustard, onion, tomato and capsicum etc. It does need a cheese or chutney or mustard in it, though, or the bread is too dry.

Welsh Rarebit (aka. really fancy cheese on toast)-
Chutney (I prefer chilli chutney, blame my Dad XP )
3 slices of bread (thicker the better)
150gm of sour cream
2 egg yolks
100gm good quality cheddar cheese
1 tsp mustard powder
Salt
Pepper
Worcestershire sauce or Tabasco (optional)

Grill the bread slightly.
Mix together the sour cream, egg yolks, cheddar cheese, mustard, salt and pepper.
Spread about a desert spoon of chutney on each slice of bread.
Top it off with the cheese mix you just made.
Place under a grill for two minutes or until it gets brown and bubbles.
Take the bread out and cut criss-crosses in the bubbling cheese mixture.
If you want to add Worcestershir sauce, drizzle it into the pattern you just made.
Eat it right away while it's still hot. Beware, it i messy.

Chicken Pockets:
Cooked chicken breast or deli sliced chiken (your choice)
Mountain bread
Avocado
Swiss cheese
Sweet chilli sauce
Olive oil (best if you have the spray version)
Baby spinach (optional)

Really easy. Basically, make a wrap of the chicken, avocado (sliced), cheese and spinach. Then spray (coat) the wrap in a light layer of oil. Heat up a frying pan and fry the wrap until the cheese melts.
This is messy and hot, so be careful. I burned myself the other day but I could burn a salad, so... blaugh

This is why I take so long to make lunch crying These are all really easy, I just suck at cooking.

I could grab you such delightful recipes as rollmops (raw fish wrapped around a pickle), Kartoffle Kloesse (potato dumplings), Rouladen (beef wrapped around dill-pickled vegetables), Herring Salat (herring salad) or Kassler Rippchen (pork roast) buuuut that might be too tricky ^_^ And weird lol.

(rollmops are damned tasty)

(if it isn't already obvious, I have rather strong German roots XD Wie geht es dir?)

Your meatloaf is the exact one I make eek
It's so yummy!!!


I have all the stuff for Chee's chicken pockets, except chili sause... maybe I'll use salsa instead.... (plots plotty ness)
what's mountain bread? eek

I want pickled vegetables! (wishes I could find these)
