Answer 1

eggs? i dont over cook them  

Answer 2

My boys really like it when I make pizza.  

First I cook a pound of ground sirloin with chopped onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper.  Then I add some grated parmesan cheese, and a can of tomato paste...you really have to work it in...it will be thick.

Then I get a pillsbury pizza dough crust. Drizzle olive oil on a rectangular baking sheet.

Put the dough on the baking sheet, poke holes in the crust, drizzle olive oil up and down the crust, sprinkle rosemary, salt and pepper--Kosher salt is best or coarse salt.

Bake your crust for 10 minutes.

Remove crust and add meat mixture, top it with mozarella and bake until cheese is melted.

I got this recipe from tv several years ago...can't remember which one, but my boys love it when I make this.  I serve a salad with it.

The recipe calls for fresh herbs but I use dry ones a lot since I don't always have fresh ones.  If you use dry, rub them between your fingers before you add them in...but the fresh is better.

They also love taco soup.

Answer 3

Nachos; with salsa, tomato, Doritos nacho chips and with cheese that's cheesy as well as crunchy :)

Use Doritos nacho chips(The yellow packet) and on a tray lined with foil, and on top of that a layer of non-stick baking paper place a layer of chips. Chuck on the salsa(use any to your liking) and evenly spread some shredded cheese.

Then put on top another layer of chips and repeat, with the salsa place some finely chopped tomatoes or they can be thinly sliced, doesn't matter.

Then when you've used all the chips, on your final layer put extra cheese and then place the tray in the pre-heated oven about 150 degrees celsius, or higher if you want crisper chips.

The all the cheese on the top layer is melted and had bubbled and looks slightly crunchy take out the tray and enjoy!

Answer 4

pasta mixed with tuna chunks, sweetcorn, mushrooms and pasta sauce. served with garlic bread

Answer 5

Turkey scallopini, with a tomato sauce, not lemon and capers.

Answer 6

Mock Chinese.

I use spaghetti squash, mushrooms, snow pea pods, bok choy, water chestnuts, green onions, soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper, and some sort of meat.  Put with a side of brown rice with mandarin oranges and almonds.

Answer 7

Its actually a basil vinaigrette salad dressing. My husband LOVES it, and back when I was a kid it was my assigned job. I had to make it once a week so I've completely mastered the art of salad dressing creations and can literally just throw random things into a blender and make any kind of dressing.

Everyone always has me bring salad to parties, and I usually jazz up my normal basil vinaigrette by substituting things like mandarin oranges, huckleberries, raspberries, or whatever in place of the basil.

My other one is spaghetti with home-made spicy tomato sauce. I'm the only person who can get it spicy enough that my husband won't complain about it being "bland" (which usually by that point its too spicy for my own taste buds lol).

Honey Chicken

Just rub chicken fillet with salt. Then marinate with soy sauce, loads of honey and pepper. It might sound really salty but it isn't.

Pan fry (or bake if you have an oven) and serve on its own or with rice. You may serve as canapes. Yummy to the tummy!!
