Default Share Your Easy Recipes with the 21 Year Old

I'm starting to really enjoy cooking my own food. I don't like having to go out for meals all the time (I'm scared of leaving the house and going into the big world.. That + I don't want to be burned by the raging fires in LA).

So I'm looking for food you like to make that's relatively simple. This was inspired by the stir fry I just cooked with my girlfriend. It was literally the best stir fry I've ever had in my entire life.

My recipe:

Ultimate Bag of Stir Fry - Frozen Vegetables
Bag of Assorted Peppers - Frozen
Fresh Onions Chopped Up
Garlic Powder/Salt/Pepper
Fresh Garlic Minced.
2 Small White Chicken Breasts Chopped Up


First step is obv to mince the garlic and the onions and the chicken into small pieces. Then put like 3-4 tablespoons of oil in a deep frying pan.

Stick the garlic in and let it season for a bit, but don't burn the [censored] garlic. Throw in some garlic salt, salt, pepper into the oil and throw in the onions and chicken.

Let the chicken cook and turn the pieces so they cook evenly, but don't let them get brown. Once they have a hint of brown and look like they're almost ready, throw in all the veggies.

At this point, turn the heat down to medium so the veggies spend more time in the oil to soak up the flavor. Cook until it looks ready and the chicken is has some browning.

Serve next to rice and booya you're done.

I'm just sick and tired of eating T.V. dinners and 3$ cans of soup when I can be eating better for the same price.

I'll share a cool soup dish too later if there's interest. It's somewhat ethnic, but it's a good sour soup.

Maybe what he was implying was that
ceral - milk = 0
Which is a debatable depending on the cereal choice, but still an interesting theory.

This might look complicated, but it's really easy:

take a couple of boneless pork chops, eggwash+flour.
heat some butter in a heavy pan, medium heat, put porkchops in.

Cook about 5-10 minutes (depending on thickness) then flip. After you flip throw in about 8oz of sliced mushrooms and a small onion sliced really thin.

Leave the heat on medium till the new side of the chops start to brown, then lower the heat and pour some red wine in.

Cover the pan and let it all stew for 10-15 min till the mushrooms and onions are tender. Eat

An ENTIRE bottle of worcestershire sauce? Good God, man. Ain't that a bit of overkill?

White Sauce for Pasta

1 Stick of butter
1 16 oz (I think) carton of heavy cream
1 egg yolk
2-3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 TBS olive oil
5 oz of parmasian cheese (pre-grated is ok, but can be hard to melt due to preservatives)

In a side bowl mix the egg yolk and heavy cream, do not whip. I suggest whipping the egg yolk first and slowly adding the heavy cream.

Fry up the garlic in the olive oil over med to med-high heat.

Add the stick of butter and melt slowly, DO NOT BURN THE BUTTER.

SLOWLY (and I mean SLOWLY) add the cream mixture to the butter mixture. Mix well and keep over med to med-high heat.

Slowly melt cheese into the heavy cream and butter mixture. About 1/4 cup at a time or less. Once all the cheeze is added keep simmering until it gets a thicker consistency. I usually add some basil, oregeno, and parsley to the mix, but it's not really necessary.

Pour over cooked noodles, peas, carrots and maybe shrimp and serve w/ Garlic Cheese bread for a meal that will impress.
