Whats you favorite meal and how do you make it?!

Cover fat side of 4-5 pound brisket with package of (Lipton) dry onion soup mix. Add a little wine if you like, but additional moisture us not necessary. Wrap tightly in foil and put in a pan in a 250 degree oven when you go to bed. Next morning, or about 7-8 hrs later, remove brisket. Pour juice through a strainer into a container. Peel most of the fat from the top of brisket, and re-wrap in foil. Put meat and juice in refrigerator when you leave for work. When you get home, brisket will slice nicely without falling apart. The fat will have jelled on the top of the juice so you can remove it easily. Reheat the brisket in oven with some of the juice or BBQ sauce. Heat the juice for dipping, or thicken into gravy by adding a slurry of a little corn starch and water, and boiling. This works great for pork shoulder, ribs, or beef roasts. Just mash some taters and call the kids..........it's suppertime!!!

Why don't you try going meatless a couple of times a week?

Broccoli with a jar of alfredo sauce over pasta is really good and simple

Taco salad with red kidney beans instead of hamburger makes prep a snap (no cooking) just use salad greens, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, cheese, tortilla chips, salsa and sour cream

Make a simple veggie lasagna, just put a layer of tomato sauce down in a casserole dish, put a layer of cheese ravioli over the top, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, red and yellow peppers, mushrooms (whatever you like), a little more sauce, another layer of ravioli, a lot more sauce, more veggies...

bake it in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, cover the top with mozzarella and bake until the cheese is a little toasted and bubbly

Make grilled panini sandwiches with marinated portabella mushroom caps (just put them in a zip lock bag with balsamic vinegar and italian herbs, or teriyaki sauce, or worcestershire) and provolone cheese (a george foreman grill works great for paninis if you have one.

Here's a great website with some tips to eating meatless a few times a week if you're interested:
http://www.meatlessmonday.com/

(Buy an 1100w Microwave (not 700w).
Later on after you are familiar with cooking, buy a Crock Pot.)

We are now doing the following:

1. At your grocery store, buy the sealed PRE-COOKED meats that come is small packages such as the following. You can make two or three meals out of them (or you can freeze the meals too):

Beef tips with gravy,
Roast with gravy,
Pork roast,
Chicken,
Baked ham,
Pork chops,
Meatloaf,
etc.

Just heat in your microwave; directions are on the packages. You will find these packages in the cold section (not the freezer). Ask a clerk to help you find these. They are delicious.

Use these for your meat dish with a side dish or two of canned or frozen vegetables, beans, potatoes or sweet potatoes which can all be found on shelves or in the freezer section and they are already cooked.
.
You can now buy bags of different flavors of precooked rice that you put into your microwave for a minute or two. These are on shelves at the grocery store. We like the chicken flavored best of all. Have a clerk help you find them.
.
Real mashed potatoes that come in a bag...add water, butter, milk. Delicious. Read the directions.
.
Jars of all types of sauces for making pastas. On shelves.
.
Boxes of pastas with everything needed inside the boxes. On shelves.
.
Buy top brand cans of stew for each person. Serve with cornbread, crackers, or toast.
.
Soup and a grilled (fried) cheese sandwiches. Go to this video to see how to make a quick grilled cheese sandwich:

.
Omelet with Cheese - Video:
http://startcooking.com/video/326/Grille…
.
You can buy all types of salad greens in large packages now. Buy the ones that have been pre-washed. Add your own dressing which you can buy in bottles.
.
2. The top brands of microwave frozen dinners are very good now. These come in single servings or in family sized bags. Follow directions. Look for the words "No Preservatives" marked on the box or package.
Just add a canned or frozen vegetable as a side dish.

Top brands of dinners that are found on shelves. No fridge needed. Add water, microwave. These are good to take to school or work. Follow directions on the containers.
.
3. Video On How To Cook A Rib Eye Steak on Stove Burner (turn on your sound), click this link:
http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make…
.
4. Supermarket deli's have pre roasted chickens, fried chickens, roast beef, and side dishes. You can stop in on the way home and grab a quick dinner to take home. I buy their roasted chicken often...they are delicious.
.
5. Buy a crock pot. You put everything into the pot in the morning, set it on low for 8 hours, and your dinner will be ready for you when you come home in the evening! I kid you not. Be sure to read the instruction booklet.
There is a recipe booklet that comes with the crock pot. You can buy crock pots at places such as your grocery store and department stores.

Here are 1,160 crock pot recipes:

DON'T FORGET TO PLUG IT IN! This happens more than you would think. lol

6. Salads. All types:

7. Twenty three Snacks for watching TV movies and Football games:

8. Microwave baked potatoes (I do all mine this way and they never fail):
Wash potato,
Do not pierce,
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap...make sure the ends are closed,
Cook on high for about 7 to 8 minutes in the microwave,
Squeeze middle of potato to see if it is soft for eating, if not cook on high for another minute (use protection for your fingers when you squeeze the potato, they are hot-hot-hot).
We like to put salt, pepper, butter, sour cream on ours. Yum!
You can do this for baked sweet potatoes too.
