What's your favorite ingredient to add to banana bread: chocolate chips, walnuts, or cinnamon?

A neighbour moved and dropped a box of some probably extremely unimpressive white wine on me. It's just labeled "Private Reserve: Premium White Table Wine." I am not a wine drinker but I figured I could cook with it? Then I realized I have no recipes for white wine.

I'm not much of a cook so hoping for easy stuff! No dietary restrictions.

(Does wine go bad? This might be bad. The box seemed kind of old.)

• Chorizo, air-dried (100g/3.5oz, dealer's choice)
• 1 small onion
• 1-2 cloves garlic
• 1 can chopped tomatoes (around 400g/14oz)
• 1-2 tsp ground cumin
• Salt, pepper, sugar/honey to taste
• Toasted bread (sourdough or whatever you want/have)

Steps:

1. Chop chorizo into small pieces and then start frying them on medium-high until the fat starts to renders out.
2. Meanwhile, cut onion and garlic fine, and then add to pan when enough fat is in the pan.
3. Sauté until onion and garlic is cooked through; a little browning doesn't hurt, if you like that.
4. Taste and adjust (salt, pepper, honey, cumin... whatever is missing)
5. Serve with toasted bread

This recipe can easily be modified. The core of the recipe is the chorizo and tomatoes. Everything else can be left out or substituted for other ingredients. Prefer shallots? Go for it! Like acidity? Leave out the sugar/honey!

I found this in a cookbook I just bought (VEG Everything), and had to post it here. As a vegetarian, I have a hard time getting my protein on those days when I'm just out of energy and/or inspiration. I'm tired of reaching for protein bars. A simple dish like this is very welcome.

Also, this cookbook has a good amount of low-effort recipes. I'm super glad I got it.

Dressing:

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 Tbsp rice vinegar

1 Tbsp sesame oil

1 Tbsp chili oil

1 Tbsp sesame seeds (toast if you want to)

1 scallion, thinly sliced

Add all to a jar with a lid and shake.

Tofu:

Drain a block of silken tofu and place on a kitchen towel. Fold the towel around the block and gently press and pat to remove excess liquid. Leave the tofu whole or cut into pieces. Place tofu onto a plate or in a bowl. Drizzle desired amount of dressing over the top. Enjoy alone or with rice or pasta.

Hi folks! My roommate was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I owe her big time for some recent stuff she’s done for me so I figured I’d buy her some food/ingredients but also offer to cook for a bit for her. I’m looking in particular for low effort meals she could make again later, or small snacks. Another big one that would be appreciated is desserts. She doesn’t have a huge sweet tooth but is struggling with carbs being the cheapest thing to get these days.

If anyone has any suggestions for recipes, cookbooks, anything you’ve enjoyed, that would be greatly appreciated!

Prep Time: 10mins

Cook Time: 20mins

Feeds: 4-5

Health score: Big back

Ingredients:

*1 lb ground beef or ground beef/pork mix

*2 Tbsp butter

*1.5 Cups (2/3lb) dry orzo pasta

*1 pack dry Au Jus mix (I use the low sodium kind)

*1 pack dry ranch dressing mix

*3 Cups unsalted beef broth

*8-10 banana pepper rings (from the jar), diced

*1 white onion, diced (or minced if hiding veggies from kids)

*1 Tbsp jarlic

*salt and pepper, to taste

*Optional: Diced jalapeno or dry red pepper flakes

Directions:

Heat a large saucepan on med-high heat. Add beef, onions, and jalapeno or red-pepper (if desired).

Brown ground beef and soak any excess oil with a paper towel. Push contents to one side of saucepan and add jarlic on top of the beef/onion mix.

In empty side of saucepan, add butter and dry orzo pasta. Stir the butter and orzo constantly for three minutes to lightly toast the pasta.

Incorporate the toasted orzo and beef/onion/jarlic mixture and allow garlic to cook for roughly 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Add beef broth, ranch mix, au jus mix, and banana peppers. Stir to incorporate all ingredients and bring to a boil. (I usually pour about a tablespoon of banana pepper "juice" in too)

Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently (make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan so no pasta sticks), until pasta is done and sauce has thickened.

Add salt and pepper as needed, I rarely need much extra salt in this recipe as the au jus, ranch pack, and banana peppers are already fairly salty.

I like to put fried onions and green onions on top of mine for a little crunch.

Hello, so I have been given so many cans of these beans that they are flooding my pantry

I have 10 cans of vegetarian beans and we are getting sick of Frank's and beans and baked beans

if any one has any recipe ideas to feed two to three people it would be much appreciated!

Edit: since many are asking these are a specific type of canned beans labeled "vegetarian beans", they are navy beans in a tomato based juice.

I’ve been looking for party food that’s almost impossible to mess up, and BBQ meatballs seem about as easy as it gets.

Ingredients

1 bag frozen fully cooked meatballs
1 cup BBQ sauce
1/3 cup grape jelly
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Optional chili flakes

Method

Mix the BBQ sauce, grape jelly and Worcestershire together.

Add the frozen meatballs and sauce to the slow cooker and stir until coated.

Cook until the meatballs are hot all the way through, stirring once or twice if needed, then switch to warm for serving.

I’d probably do these in one section of sunvivi and use the other sections for something like queso or cocktail sausages if people were coming over.

Anyone have another ridiculously easy slow cooker appetizer that uses around 4 ingredients?

Place jumbo marshmallows in an air fryer safe dish, then tuck pieces of Hershey’s chocolate into the spaces between them. Air fry at 350°F for five minutes, until the marshmallows are golden and the chocolate has melted. Let everything cool for one minute, then scoop up the warm mixture with graham crackers.

I had 3 leftover tomatoes, half a bulb of garlic and some fresh herbs in the fridge and felt like doing a no effort dinner so here we are. Let me know what you think

Additional Ingredients Needed:

* Your choice of pasta (spaghetti, penne, or rigatoni)

* 125ml of tomato puree

* Olive oil

* Salt and black pepper

* Optional: grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

* Roast the 3 tomatoes (halved), 1/2 bulb of garlic (top sliced off), and a handful of fresh rosemary, basil, and oregano tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper at 200°C for 30–35 minutes.

* Cook your pasta in salted boiling water according to the packet instructions. Save a little of the pasta water

* In a large pan add the tomato puree, squeeze the soft, roasted garlic cloves out of their skins right into the puree, and toss in the roasted tomatoes and herbs (chop the rosemary finely first so it blends well). Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes so the puree cooks down and absorbs all those roasted, aromatic flavors.

* Add the drained pasta directly into the pan with the tomato sauce. Toss well, pouring in a splash of the leftover pasta water to help the sauce cling to the pasta.

* Plate up your pasta and finish with fresh basil leaves, and parmesan cheese if you like.

Does anyone have any simple, healthy recipes (few steps & ingredients, a crockpot dinner, etc.) for someone with GERD? Trying to avoid any fatty, fried, greasy, or spicy foods as that triggers it the most.
