We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
something that makes for good leftovers would be swell as well. and something that is somewhat easy/quick to make. (too tired to want to spend much time in the kitchen today.)
No instant solution, but if you want easy to make meals that require minimum effort look into a crock pot. Toss food in, set timer, go ride/work/sleep, listen for beep and eat.
Depends on what you consider quick and easy, but if you want good leftovers make some stir fry.
Chop up some steak, at least a pound, fry in pan on high with vegtable oil and soy sauce until mostly cooked. Drain excess oil and grease.
From here you can do almost anything... I usually put it snow peas, broccoli, green onions, and green peppers. I like spicy szechwan sauce, but you can use whatever you want(look for bottled sauces in the spice aisle). On top of the sauce I usually add some garlic salt and black pepper. If you like it really spicy add some hot sauce. Simmer the sauce and vegatbles on medium with the meat until it looks good then eat it.
It really doesnt take long to cook but you do have to celan your pan and cutting board, and you have to go to the grocery store.
we gave our crock pot away when we moved....we never really used it much.
we do have a presure cooker though. good for all kinds of stuff. rice, cooked in 3 minutes.....crazy.
so far, I'm thinking;
some kind of mexi meal (meat, beans, rice and some kind of tortillia)
burgers of some sort (home made veggie or turkey, with oven cooked veggies)
turtle soup....
take a look in the beer/food forum for my pork shoulder recipe. if you buy it tonight, you can eat it tomorrow (but someone's gotta turn on the stove before you get home from work.)
a good failsafe quick/fast meal is white beans and pasta. just add some garlic, fresh parsley, and pecorino romano and yr good to go.
