tomorrow I go to Target and then to the grocers that's next to it. I'm going to have Italian sausage with peppers, onions and bread.  I also make soup. celery , tomato, green beans , parsnip, rutabaga and beets, but I cheat. I use  vegetable  seasoning cubes.

Shake n' Bake pork chops and green beans. Shake n' Bake is one of the few pre-packaged food items I buy. I'm perfectly capable of making seasoned bread crumbs, but there's just something going on there I can't duplicate.

Slow cooked slices of pepperoni in home made pasta sauce. Ravioli too, but whatever. The important thing is eating those thick, meaty, juicy chunks of pepperoni. Yum!

Taco Bell

I want to start a new thread about what we are eating at the moment.

The idea behind this is that many of us live alone and we need to keep healthy. We may have not much money and we may not have a lot of time or energy.

So what are we going to cook tonight to keep us healthy?

These are basic meals. If you use commercial ingredients try and use a web link as they vary from place to place.

If your meal has a copyright please include it, ie you need to quote where you got it from with due acknowledgement to the author and publication.


Veal with tomato and stuff.

For one and has left overs that can be frozen or kept at 4C (fridge)

About 250 grams of veal, lean.

Cut into strips and discard fat etc.

Put into a casserole dish with a tin of diced tomatoes.

Add pepper and 'Italian' flavour (gourmetgarden.com Italian Herb Paste or equivalent)

Some stock or water to dilute out without being too runny.

Cook at about 190-200C for about 30 mins.

While cooling make instant rice.

I use one of the commercial cook in the microwave for 90 seconds rice with flavour, such as Uncle Ben's Mexican Flavour Rice.

When cooked, add rice to casserole mix and stir, serve with some dry bread.

Very tasty costs not much and can be adapted.

Prep time 5 mins.

Cooking time 40 mins.

Obviously this can be adapted for any sort of meat and gives a quick and healthy meal. Add veggies if you have them.

Now it's my turn. Stick fish.

Chex mix. Being poor can really suck.

It's spaghetti night!

Tequila.  It's not just for breakfast anymore!

No, seriously, I'm fiending for Mexican food.  Anything con queso will do.  And refried beans.  GAHHH!!!
