Not in the mood to cook? Just want to wip something fabulous up. Here are some tips on things that I love to do, that do not take much time at all.
Mac and cheese, yes it may sound very childish, but use the right kind of cheese and seasonings and it can become something great. Also adding some crispy bacon is never horrid. I like my pasta's with a side salad, you tend to eat less and become full faster.
Another great meal is my special chicken. I have not come up with a name for it yet. But here is how you make it.
The marinade is:
2 tablespoons mayo
2 tablespoons plain yoghurt.
2 teaspoons lemon juice.
1 sachet of tomtoe paste.
2 tablespoons of fruit chutney.
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon chillie powder.
mix all of this together,
in a frying pan fry up some onions till golden brown, then add a teaspoon of sugar and add your chicken breasts according to the nuber of people that you would be feeding. Fry the chicken breasts till brown and golden and completely cooked, then slice them into strips and add the onions and the chicken to the marinade and let sit for about twenty minutes. While the marinade is sitting, put either some pasta or rice on to cook, when the rice is just about ready reheat the chicken mixture and there you have a great meal. This is also great with mash potatoes and peas. You can really add anything that you want to go with your main.
A really fast desert that I do most nights for guests is icream with chocolate sauce. it may sound simple but it tastes really good. all you need is your plain vanilla ice-cream for the store and then in a pan on the stove you will need to melt, a teaspoon of butter, then add about two tablespoons of cocoa and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, when the sugar has melted add a tablespoon of milk, and there you have a great chocolate sauce. dish the ice-cream into bowls and top with the sauce. you can also crumble oreo biscuits on top of this to add something else. It is really fast and so delicious. Hope this helps, I will be posting more easy meals soon.
