I've been cooking for about 50 years so it is impossible to answer your question. But here are some of my favorites:

7. CATALINA CHICKEN:


From DontH8Me


http://www.city-data.com/forum/recipes/2鈥?/a>





';Catalina Chicken from the thighs and legs - separate them and skin them before baking to keep the fat down, if you prefer. The recipe I use is typically for a whole chicken, so I would substitute 4 - 5 legs and thighs in this case.





Take the cleaned pieces and put them in a rectangular glass baking dish. Mix one small or 1/2 large bottle of Catalina Island French salad dressing with one envelope of Lipton's French Onion Soup Mix. At this stage, depending on your preference, you could add to the pan of chicken any of the following: Onions, 1 inch dice, red/green/yellow bell pepper, 1 inch dice, and/or pineapple tidbits. Pour the sauce mix over the whole thing and swirl it around to coat all the pieces. Cover with foil to keep moist.





Bake in a 375 degree oven until the chicken juices run clear. You will want to make a batch of fluffy rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce from the chicken bake. My family loves this recipe and it takes less than 5 minutes to prep.';

Other favorites:





Frozen dinners from supermarket. Buy only the top brands such as the dinners in the red boxes that say ';No preservative';. Make sides dishes of frozen vegetables that come in bags.





Canned stew.





Canned soups.





Stir fry vegetables. I like yellow/green/red bell peppers, mushrooms, sliced red onion, garlic powder, salt, pepper (I like cracked pepper found in glass jars with the special top for craacking the peppers), and you can add anything else you like. Makes a great lunch.





Pre sealed precooked meats such as pot roasts, baked ham, chicken, meatloaf, roasts with gravy, the list goes on and on. Ask a clerk to help you find these packages in the cold sections (not the freezer).What is the best food recipe you have ever used?

MACARONI AND CHEESE

1 stick butter


1/4 cup minced onions


3 tbsp. flour


2 c. of milk or light cream


1/2 c. dry white wine (or water)

Salt and freshly ground pepper


Cayenne to taste 1/2 tsp. paprika





Bring 4 qt. salted water to a rapid boil and cook the macaroni until not quite tender. Drain macaroni and set aside.





In saute pan, melt 1/2 the stick of butter (or 4 tablespoons). When melted, stir in the breadcrumbs and toast just until lightly browned. Remove breadcrumbs from pan and set aside. Wipe pan clean with paper towel and re-use for next step. Breadcrumb topping: Melt remaining butter, add onions, and stir over low heat until onions are just translucent, but not browned. Stir in the flour and seasonings. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add the wine, then gradually stir in the milk or cream.





Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Add cheese and continue stirring until the cheese melts.





Combine the macaroni with the cheese sauce. Turn out into a generously buttered casserole dish (approximately 1 1/2 quarts). If you have any extra grated cheese, you can sprinkle this on top along with the 1/2 cup of buttered, toasted bread crumbs.





Bake in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for approximately 20 minutes or until heated all the way through and golden brown on top

This is the copycat recipe for Cracker Barrell Mac and Cheese and it's great!





Cracker Barrel Mac %26amp; Cheese





2 tablespoons flour


1 cup chicken broth


1 cup cream


4 cups shredded Colby cheese


2 1/2 cups uncooked pasta -- elbows, etc.


1 teaspoon salt





In a sauce pan melt butter over medium low heat then add the flour a little bit at a time while whisking to make a roux. Heat the broth. Next add the broth to the roux, stir with the whisk. This will thicken as it heats. Next add a little cream watch for consistency.





Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a separate pot, add salt, and pasta.





In the other pot add shredded cheese a 1/4 of a cup at a time while stirring with a spoon. When you have about one cup of cheese in you can add the rest of the cheese.





Cook the pasta al dente. Strain and combine with the cheese sauce.





Pour the mix into a casserole and bake uncovered in a preheated oven set to 350掳F for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the mac %26amp; cheese, you want it to brown around the edges and in patches on top.





Remove and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy

I tried this one italian recipe:


First i grill 2 green and red bell peppers, than i grill one whole hillshire sausage...then I make mexican rice with el pato (depends if you like your food spicy otherwise use just regular tomato sauce) then when all are done and still hot cut up the bell pepper into long strips and then cute them in half once and then cut the sausage into little tires and mix them together. Its easy to make and so delicious!
i really love cooking and i have many different things i like to make and eat.


Recently i have been going to restaurants and trying new things and then experimenting and trying to re-create that dish at home.





Some of my most favourite things to cook are-


A roast (roast pork crackling and homemade apple sauce is my favourite)


I love making casseroles and stews- there is something really satisfying about making and then eating a big hearty stew.





Apple Pie- it's always delicious





I like experimenting with different flavours for savory dishes too and have recently been experimenting with different sausage roll and savory pin wheel flavours.





I love making warm pasta salads too this is one of my favourite recipies

2 chorizo, sliced lengthways

Method:


1 Cook pasta in large saucepan of boiling salted water, until al dente, drain and transfer to a large bowl.


2 Heat a char-grill pan over high heat. Drizzle the eggplant with oil. Char-grill the eggplant and chorizo until golden. Roughly chop eggplant and chorizo.


3 Add eggplant, chorizo, olives, lemon rind, parsley and balsamic vinegar to the pasta. Season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine. Serve.





I love making brushcetta too- it's so yummy and it's reasonably healthy- here's a bit of a variation on a standard brushetta


Ingredients:


陆 red onion, finely diced


1 large tomato, seeded, finely diced


陆 avocado, finely diced


1 tbs finely diced cucumber


陆 bunch rocket, finely shredded


陆 lemon, juiced


Olive oil


3 slices sourdough bread


20g butter, softened


Basil leaves, to serve




















Method:


1 Preheat oven 200掳C fan-forced.


2 Combine onion, tomato, avocado, cucumber, rocket and lemon juice in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil.


3 Spread bread with butter and place on a baking paper-lined baking tray and bake for 3-4 minutes or until sourdough is crisp and golden.


4 Place sourdough on a plate, spoon over avocado and tomato mixture, top with basil leaves, season with salt and pepper to serve.








I rarely flow recipes or if i do i alter them and add my own variations- it's fun experimenting
