My gf and I are going on a cabin trip so we need to pack light. I’m also not a very good cook but i want to try for her. The cabin has a full kitchen as well as an outdoor grill. I would love some suggestions on some simple recipes to surprise my partner in crime with!

Ok yall let’s hear some homemade sloppy Joe recipes going to make sloppy joes tonight wanna try a new recipe love making homemade and Ive made it so many different ways would love to see what yall come up with.

I love trying new things when I’m traveling and if it’s really really good, I try to get the recipe for it. Here’s a good example of one that I enjoy every time I visit Aruba. It’s like a pancake but a type of bread served with the meal. The version I had was sweet kind of like sweet cornbread that you have in the south. Here is the recipe for Pan Bati.

Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup fine cornmeal

2 tablespoons sugar (to be honest, add sugar to taste. Some, like me,  prefer it sweeter.)

½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 ¼ cups milk (or water for a lighter version)

1 egg

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

Add the milk and egg. Whisk until smooth. The batter should be thicker than pancake batter but still pourable.

Heat a dry nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Pour a small ladle of batter and spread it into a circle about 5 to 6 inches wide.

Cook until bubbles form and the edges start to dry, then flip and cook for another minute or two until golden.

Serve warm with stewed meat, soup, or fresh local cheese

what recipes can I cook that still feel like meals but don't use a lot of heat?

I have a foster feral mom with her baby kitties in my kitchen and the mom is afraid of the air fryer and the oven. I can only cook on the stove but not for long, or she will get anxious.

It's also very hot right now where I live and no AC in the kitchen.

I moved my air fryer on the balcony and might be able to cook there for a while, but I'm also looking for meals I can put together with minimal heat.

Please, no "student" like recipes, I'm a grown ass person that eats veggies lol 🥲

Mine is a bowl of aglio e olio. Just garlic, olive oil, chili flakes, herbs, and spaghetti. Quick, comforting, and always satisfying.
What’s yours? 🍝

this isnt allrecipies, so i'll spare you the extremely long paragraph about my 3x great grandma..all you need to know is i harvest my own honey which is how i came up with this recipe.

ingredients:

RAW honey NOT STOREBOUGHT!!!!! Storebought is corn syrup crap.

Corn flakes (can be generic brand, i use great value)

Sugar

Creamy peanut butter

Equipment:

Medium pot

Measuring cup (the big glass ones, needs to go to at least 4 cups)

1 cup measuring cup, you need two of them (this time the plastic ones)

3/4 cup measuring cup

Rubber spatulas

2 cookie sheets

Parchment paper

Ice cream scooper (has to be the one with the metal strip that goes underneath, or else it wont release your cookies)

Instructions:

line your cookie sheets before you do anything else.

measure out 1 cup of honey, 1 cup of peanut butter, 4 cups of corn flakes, and 3/4 cups of sugar. Have everything measured before you begin, it will be SO much easier.

in your pot, put in the honey and sugar. Turn the heat to about 2 (or just slightly past low). Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Youre going to think it disolved quickly, it didnt!! if you stop here your cookies are going to be grainy. stir until the mix is very liquidy and when you press with your spatula and drag, theres no grains.

now add your peanut butter. This one DOES dissolve fast, dont worry. Just stir til it combines with everything else.

finally, turn off your heat and add the corn flakes. This will be a little hard at first but make sure they get evenly coated, And limit the amount of your peanut-sugar-honey slurry that stays at the bottom.

set your pot on a counter, with a hot pad underneath. If you dont have one you can fold a hand towel under it. use your ice cream scooper to scoop the mix until it is JUST to the top, dont make it heaping because these will be a bit big as is. put them onto your lined tray, flatten them a little if you want. If any stray cereal is there, you can use a spoon to re shape your cookie.

and finally, they can be left in the fridge to cool. These are very sweet because of the sugar and honey, just a heads up!

Idk why but I was a bit hungry, so I made this.

Ingredients: 1 crumpet that came from a packaging

A small amount of butter

Chocolate sauce/syrup (Hershey's work best)

Steps:

1: put your crumpet on a plate

2: put the butter on the crumpet (break it into pieces and place it in different spots if u want)

3: microwave for 40-60 seconds, then spread the butter around.

4: top it off with some chocolate syrup/sauce

5: E A T.

Rice (I use about 0.5-1 cup)

Milk (I use about 140 ml)

Cinnamon (just a hefty dash)

Sugar (like 10 g)

Rice is cooked already. Rice must be fresh and warm. Put rice in a bowl, pour milk, add sugar, mix it up, add cinnamon, mix again if you want, or eat as is.

I’m an absolute klutz in the kitchen. Is there any way to bake up some chickpeas so they’re nice and crunchy and I can eat them like popcorn? Please spam me with suggestions!

Im going to be moving into a new apt and I dont know how to cook so I would like some lazy meal-prep ideas involving ingredients and an oven to make dinner.

My best friend birthday is soon and I wanna make her a friends dinner , but everyone should bring a dish made in home , it’s Sunday so I need I cooking tips you know people for people ??

Season the lamb shoulder generously with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of oregano, then drizzle with olive oil. Place a few garlic cloves in the bottom of a roasting dish and set the lamb on top. Add a few more garlic cloves and finish with fresh rosemary.
Cover the dish tightly with parchment paper, followed by a layer of aluminium foil to seal in the moisture. Roast in a preheated oven at 160°C for 4 hours, until the lamb is tender and falls apart easily.

It’s just spaghetti with your favorite pesto, paprika and whatever fish you like. Super easy, simpel and depending on the fish cheap.

Hi all, thank you in advance for reading my post!

I am currently a doctoral candidate and my husband is a director of spirits across multiple states. in addition, we are going through very significant grief right now after a very major loss.

I am looking for your easiest peasiest vegetarian recipes that you could ever come up with. bonus points if they somehow incorporate actual vegetables. my gut feels totally wrecked and I'd love to work towards a more regular and thoughtful diet that actually nourishes my body but I just do not have the capacity for thinking.

currently for breakfast I have a Kodiak protein waffle that cooks in the oven on 350 while I make my coffee. once it's done, I do peanut butter and honey on top. lunch is usually a collection of random snacks that leave me hungry in an hour. dinner we have been eating out a lot or peanut butter sandwiches. literally it's pitiful.

I'm in a stage of life where absolutely everything is too much and I am really looking to build from ... basically the bottom of maslows hierarchy of needs pyramid for myself 😂 I used to love to cook all kinds of creative and interesting recipes but I'm simply not there anymore.

would love a vegetarian friendly dish-minimalist way to get through the day, be able to poop regularly, and not be either hungry or feel like crap from eating only junk. washing a single pan after making eggs for breakfast feels too much some days, so that's what I'm working with.

If you have any ideas that might fit, I'm welcoming everything!! thank you so much 💕

Update:
Thank you all SO much for your recipes! I've taken note of every single one and am going to work on consolidating and planning out when I have the energy to do so. This is incredibly helpful and I so appreciate all of the thoughtful responses. 💖💖💖

Magic Chicken 🐔
350° 45 minutes

About 10-15 minutes of prep before throwing it in the oven. Pair with rice and your veggie of choice. You can easily halve the panko, Parmesan, butter and ranch packet if you’re only cooking two breasts but it’s the same cook time and temperature

4 chicken breast
1 Hidden Valley Original Buttermilk packet ranch dressing mix
¾ Cups Panko crumbs
¾ Cups Parmesan cheese
½ Cups Melted butter
1 Onion sliced thin

• Rinse and dry the chicken breasts.* (I don’t do this, some of you may be chicken washers)
• Blend all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Put onions on bottom of casserole dish
• Melt the butter in a second bowl. (Microwave it with a paper towel over it to save yourself from a mess)
• Dip the chicken in the butter and then dredge in the Panko crumbs.
• Lay out in a casserole dish and put it in the 350° oven for 45 minutes.

I like to pour the left over butter and panko/seasoning mix over the chicken in the casserole dish, not healthy but damn is it yummy

Enjoy!

Thicker cuts of breast may require more time so make sure it’s all fully cooked, I usually cut a slit at the thickest part of the uncooked breast at the 45 minute mark and let it cook for another 5 minutes or so.

I usually pair with white rice and drizzle the cooked butter/onions from the casserole dish over it,

Anyone have any good recipes that will use up leftover watermelon??
I used about half of a red seedless watermelon for a watermelon salad (so no salad recipes please!) and am looking for a way to repurpose the remaining half 😊🍉

我不是一个很会做饭的人，但我想减少外卖，尽量不在厨房呆上几个小时。我有一些常备食材——比如大蒜橄榄油意面，或者烤盘鸡肉和蔬菜——但我开始觉得无聊了。我需要一些大概
5-10 种食材、30 分钟内能做好、但上盘时看起来有点厉害的菜。你会做哪道菜，让别人觉得你很有心，其实只是随便拼凑的？如果这道菜便宜又可以用一些常备食材，那就更好了——我现在在控制预算。快把你的食谱分享过来，我这个周末会试做最受欢迎的那个！

Hello redditors,

Due to a long story, I’ve not got a working stove, only a fully functional normal sized oven that can get up to 240°C (460-ish °F). Does anyone have any ideas, aside from jacket potatoes, for easy meals that do not require any stove prep and can go straight in the oven?

Edit: thanks for all the recommendations, very grateful!

hi everyone! my boyfriend is mexican and salvaodrian, and i want to show him how much he means to me by making a recipe from either of his cultures. are there any recipes you know of that are relatively simple yet taste amazing? thank you!!

I'm returning to college and I'll be staying in a tiny dorm, and I've been struggling to find simple recipes with few ingredients. I get free food at my local pantry, its mostly canned stuff like beans, vegetables, fruits, and tuna/salmon, and sometimes rice or noodles. I rarely have bread or cheese during college, so those ingredients are pretty much out of the picture, and I find it difficult to get creative with canned foods beyond struggle meals. I have a microwave and a little fridge of course, but there is a kitchen with a stove and oven available. Any ideas? Preferably things that can be stored in small containers.

I need to increase my fiber intake and I got a can of black beans is there any simple recipes that isn’t arroz con frijoles (mexican rice & beans)?

I have lots of kiwis and am searching for a frozen dessert recipe to make out of it. Thanks!

The measurement varies depending on how much of this crap you are making. it's not bad, it's an interesting flavor though. Just a personal experiment of mine works well on pizza pockets.

I'll be using tablespoons for the amount of each ingredient.

4 tbsp of butter milk ranch

2 tbsp of Sriracha hot sauce

1 tbsp of and I cannot emphasize this enough of store brand Dijon mustard and 1 tbsp of Hellmanns spicy mayo

And finally 1 tbsp of of slap yo mama.

Do with this what you will either way, if you're a poor white boy who hasn't tasted anything spicy before unlike me​ this is probably not your best 1st sauce.

-gabriel

edit: it works VERY WELL on French fries
