Cooking is Hard
November 25th, 2008, 10:51 pm
I’ve decided that I want to cook dinner instead of grabbing fast food, heating up some soup or slapping something together real quick. I’m decent at baking so I figured cooking shouldn’t be too bad. Boy was I wrong. Tonight after talking to my Mom I attempted to fry some chicken and make potatoes with gravy. I ruined the gravy and forgot to cook the peas I wanted to have with it. The chicken wasn’t good but it wasn’t bad. All that hard work for nothing. Cooking is nothing like baking. Too much can go wrong and you don’t get a sweet treat like I’m use to after baking.
I do make some simple casseroles which are good. If anyone has easy recipes that don’t make tons of food (it’s only for me) then I would love to have them. I’ll make brownies or cookies for you.

How about pasta with tomato sauce? Only a few ingredients needed.
ground beef
tomato sauce
any type of noodles you like (I love fusilli)
worcestershire sauce for the beef, optional
some kind of italian herbs
Cook beef thoroughly, adding some worcestershire sauce as you do. Add tomato sauce, cook the noodles acc. to directions, add them to the beef as well, mix it all together and sprinkle some herbs on it.
Salad is also easy to make, if you like eating it. So are tacos. And if you like Shepherd’s pie (the Québecois version), that’s easy as well: cook ground beef, put it in a casserole dish, pour some canned corn on it, make mashed potatoes using a package mix and spread them on top, then top it off with italian herbs. This takes a long time to bake, but it tastes good reheated so it’s a good leftover dinner.

1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground beef
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 egg
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup ketchup
preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl (optional) mix together the horseradish, mustard, salt, and pepper. Set aside (normally, i throw it into the big bowl..why waste dishes). In large bowl, mix ground beef, onion, egg, and worcestershire sauce. Add contents of small bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the bread crumbs and combine as well.
Place mixture into a 1 pound loaf pan. Pour catchup over top and place in oven.
Bake uncovered for one hour.
Where’s my goodies?
Love you!

I found this site with recipes for one or two… doesn’t look too difficult, but this is coming from someone that opens the pantry and throws things together. Sometimes, all it is with cooking is putting together things that you like.
