Recipes TO FEED ME

Buy six or seven beef briskets and smoke them on the balcony for a half day or so.

Invest in a crock-pot if you don't have one. They are practically idiot-proof to cook with and most come with a recipe book. Dump in a piece of meat, any old cut, some potatoes & veggies of choice, add a little water. Put it on low to medium, go to class or workout, and 3-4 hours later your home eating tender meat & potatoes/veggies. They're versatile easy one pot meals, easy to clean, simple to use. Be creative and try ingredients you like as substitutes for variety. Soups & chili's are great crock-pot meals to utilize any leftovers.

You're looking for cheap filling eats, which means rice, beans, pasta, grits as the main ingredient/filler, vegetables in season. Meat when you can afford it.

Here's an Italian recipe my granny used to make, Polenta & pepperoni. Polenta is ground cornmeal.

Ingredients:

2 cups corn grits
6 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
jar of spaghetti sauce
2-3 oz.'s pepperoni *dice it up*

Preheat oven to 350

Boil the water in a saucepan add the salt. Add the corn grits, turn the heat down to medium and start stirring. In between stirring grease a casserole dish *bottom & sides* with olive oil or butter, make sure it's well coated. Continue stirring the polenta so it doesn't burn. The mixture will thicken in 20-30 minutes and you'll know you reached the right consistency when you can pull the spoon or spatula across the bottom of the pot and the polenta does not fill it back in. Just make sure not to burn it.

Add the 2 tbl spoons of butter and stir that in. Put the polenta into the greased casserole dish and pack it in a tight layer, forms a better crust that way. Sprinkle on the parmesan and put it in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile heat your diced up pepperoni in some of that spaghetti sauce.

When the polenta is done let it sit for 10 minutes or so to set up *if you can*. The top and bottom should have a nice crust and the middle nice and creamy.

Cut yourself a slice, top with the pepperoni sauce, eat like somebody's gonna take it from ya.

If, by some miracle there are any leftovers pop it in the fridge. Pan fry it with your eggs for breakfast.

Goldang it, now I'm hungry

Heres what I ate for dinner today, I highly reccomend it.

Ingrediants:

2 egg rolls
a few mushrooms you buy from wal-mart
quarter stick of butter
some spices (I used peppers cut from my backyard)

First you sautee the mushrooms. Which basically means boil them in butter on a pan till they turn crisp. Add the peppers halfway (or sometime before that, or maybe a little bit after, doesnt matter at all).

Microwave the 2 eggrolls before your done with the mushrooms.

Combine the 2 into one solitary plate. Soy sauce is optional.

When its all finished, you got a bangin plate. Your roommate might wonder whats that smell though. Tell him its the smell of deliciousness. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you. Your ####### the next day however, will not. Thats all part of the fun though.

I agree with Whacker, buy a meal plan. It's expensive, but real covenant.

Coming from a fellow college student who has a kitchen:

-Sandwiches (buy two-three different kinds of meat, and one cheese. Rotate)
-Get frozen chicken strips at a mega store (Costco, Sams Club, etc... not sure what they have in the dirty south ), throw them in a pan, add some cheese, and veggies.
-Pasta- Make a drum of sauce and store it. Simply heat it up when you want to eat pasta
-Omelets- You can reuse the cheese and meats from above
-Cooking steak in a pan isn't hard either... simply steam some veggies and throw a potato in the oven

Penne with Creamy Parmigiano.

Easy, quick and simple recipe. 5 minutes of preperation and 10-15 cooking (depending on serving size).

Ingredients:

Penne
Milk
Flour
1/2 Onion
Garlic
Peas
Bacon
Mushrooms
Olive Oil
Cheese
Salt and Pepper

Chop onion and garlic finely, and cut bacon and mushroom chunky. Grate cheese. Place onion and bacon and a little oil in a saucepot over moderate heat. Add some pepper. Then add mushroom and garlic and cook until slightly browned. Reduce heat and add milk, enough to just cover. Stir for a minute or so and add cheese, salt and pepper. Stir until most of the cheese is melted. Add flour to thicken, not too much. Stir to dissolve flour. Add peas and continue stirring until about half of the milk has been reduced.

Meantime have the penne cooking either in a pot or in the microwave.

Serve with some cracked pepper and parmesan.

There is never an excuse when there is such a thing such as white beans in tomatoe-sause. With some greens it's almost a meal.

Now a true dutch classic, brown beans with onions bacon and mollases.

Bake bacon, add onions, add beans, lovingly finish with some mollases.



Now for some refinement because you exceptional physique cannot be without consequences and only dutch chicks can shove beans like that.

- pasta
- tomatoe
- onion
- FRESH basilicum

That is really all you need, it's a taste explosion. You simply can't go wrong, add whatever you killed that day.

I cook the following quite a lot since it's easy to make and easy to alter to give a different taste:

Dice up some onions, capsicum, carrots, mushrooms, and basically any other veggies you wish to add, and finely slice or crush some garlic and ginger.

Fry the onions, garlic and ginger until they go brown, and then add the rest of the veggies and some soy sauce to taste, and continue frying them for a few more minutes. Then you can add basically any diced or minced meat (I prefer diced chicken breast or minced beef), add any herbs and spices you happen to like (I quite like cumin seeds, cayeene pepper, chives or basil and I usually pick which ones I want to use at random) and cook until the meat is starting to brown up and then add some tomato paste. Continue cooking until the meat is ready and the tomato paste has reduced down, and serve with your favourite pasta (I presume you know how to cook pasta) and some grated cheese (parmie's the best)

Sometimes I also like to eat it with rice, in which case I replace the tomato paste with packet French onion soup and half a cup of water.
