So I have been working on some cheese based recipies recently.

1) Scrabled Eggs.

Take about 6 large eggs and beat them. Add salt and pepper to taste (caution to use a little less salt than usual though).
Finely chop some cured ham into thin strips -I like proscutto
Gently melt about 150g of mascarpone in a large flat bottomed pan with a lump of butter
Pour in the beaten eggs and continuously stir the mix over a low heat
Once the cheese and the eggs are evenly mixed stir in the ham
Once the mix is begging to set more evenly put some toast on
Serve on the toast.

Serves about 3 people... unless you really like it, then it serves fewer.



2) Pea and Bacon pasta

Fry some chopped back bacon in pan with a little butter; about 1cm2 pices are good. If the bacon has been soaked with water you might need to drain it. About 250g bacon is good.
Melt some mascarpone in a pan - I ususally use about 300g (spot a theme here) and stir in the bacon. Add liberal lashings of black pepper an a modest amount onf finely chopped sage.
Let this simmer for a few minutes on a very low heat then stir in some chopped mint, a genrous spoonful of strong english mustard and about 300g of garden peas - fresh or frozen are fine.

Whilst this heats through boil some pasta till nearly done.

Add the pasta the sauce and finish for the last few min in the sauce.

Generally feeds about 4-5 people



Edit: these are for humans. I have less experience cooking for dogs.

Lunch: 2 chicken breasts and 1.5 lbs potatoes air fryed.

Dinner: more chicken but in wraps.

Eight eggs for breakfast? Do you do body building or something? That's a lot of cholesterol even if it's only six egg yolks.

No but I eat like one. I used to weigh 420, I weigh 250 (220 if you discount the stretchy skin suit I'm stuck with.) There's no group with as much experience fighting off hunger cravings as body builders haha

Cholesterol doesn't worry me. The largest factor for heart disease is obesity followed by smoking, followed by genetics, followed by cholesterol, followed by inactivity. I'm beating 4/5 right now ;)


That breakfast has 450 calories and is crazy stupid filling, which helps with the obesity issue. I could eat a gallon of cereal with milk and not be full, so that's the impetus there. It's also easy to get up and make, where a better breakfast takes more mental energy I don't have after waking up.

I also eat HDL rich foods which balances it out some. Avocados and salmon help with cholesterol, I eat them regularly for that reason (not for the taste that's for sure...) And a god awful amount of fiber. My last doctor visit my blood pressure was 110/60 and my resting was 64, my heart is fine.

Edit: Sorry I am defensive, I get a lot of flack from family and friends about my eating habits.

Depends. Often a curry, with rice or a teriyaki meat and rice. Those are pretty big ones. Sometimes just a bowl of pasta. Pretty random really, but usually large enough to carry me through the day. It's not good for weight loss though, been trying to be better about eating smaller meals more often rather than one big meal after dark.

The "small snacks plus big meal" method has worked well for me for weight loss for a while. And it makes me more comfortable too; I don't often get super hungry, so sitting down for a full meal multiple times a day never felt right to me.

So I'll eat something like a cheese stick and some ham earlier in the day, or like some yogurt or something, light stuff like that about twice in the day, then a big dinner around 7-8 PM, or later if I'm running late.

Being in the South West, I like my eggs on a nice fried tortilla (wheat, not a fan of corn), avocado, some cilantro and a nice rich salsa and sour cream. I'd eat it more often but it's a bit time consuming and heavy. Same with Migas, if I have pre-fried tortillas, for something faster.

Eh, it's not me, just a restaurant I like. Eggs Benedict is one of my favorite foods, and they do a smoked salmon variation that I get every damn time. It's the best thing there, and they have a lot of really good things there.

Just look up a Huevos Rancharos recipe. That's basically what it is.


Also, what are Migas?

Migas are fried, generally stale or going stale, tortillas cut into strips and then added to egg. Basically just a way to stretch tortillas out. Pretty hearty.

I've never really understood the appeal of sour cream as a condiment. It's largely tasteless and just serves to add a ton of extra calories.

As an ingredient (like in stroganoff), it's great, but otherwise, I'd rather leave it than take it if given the option.

It's not even largely tasteless. Like, if it tasted like nothing, I wouldn't have much of an issue with it. But it tastes like nothing that has somehow gone bad.

To be more serious, I wouldn't mind sour cream if it wasn't a standard addition on so many things. All it takes is to forget to specify no sour cream once (or not notice it when reading the menu, or make the request but have it ignored or forgotten by the kitchen staff) for a bad experience. It, along with cilantro, should fall into the "ask if they want this" category IMO. Hell, I've been asked if I want onions or mushrooms on dishes that include them standard, so it's not like this isn't already done at several places with other ingredients. And onions and mushrooms are infinitely better than sour cream.

To be less serious, I stand by my statement that sour cream tastes like nothing that's gone bad. Cream actually has a taste (and a fantastic one, at that). Why they would ruin perfectly good cream like that I'll never know.

Fermented products are good for you. They help with gut flora and probiotics. In moderation, it's good for you. Your body needs fats to help with vitamin absorption too.

So, just to be clear, you're saying that you would sit down and just eat a plain cup of sour cream because it's "quality"?

That is true dedication to a food, I gotta say.

No. I didn't say that at all. I didn't even insinuate it.

I wouldn't sit down and eat just a plain cup of yogurt either. Unflavored yogurt is, like sour cream, a cooking ingredient.

I'll eat an entire tub of plain yogurt quite happily... but the only thing I want sour cream on isa baked potato, and even then I don't want very much.

in lockdown every one stay at home so, i WANT to asked some tasty recipes for me and my pet's food recipe

For my picky dogs, their go to food is my wife's recipe:

brown a pound of ground meat (any is fine)
mix in a bag of frozen peas and carrots
cook one cup uncooked brown rice and mix in
add in a cup of yogurt.

usually feed them a cup to two cups of the mixture per meal. If I'm pulling it out of the fridge I warm it up for a minute in the microwave before serving.

Cost wise, depending on the cost of the meat, it usually comes out to about a dollar a serving.

Sometimes I leave out the yogurt if they start not wanting it for a couple weeks, then add it back in.

I can almost guarantee I eat more fruits and veggies then 90% of the population.

Yesterday I had:
3 cups Asparagus
A can of green beans (7 cups)
10 cups of spinach
3 table spoons of flax
3 apples
5 carrots
10 cups air popped popcorn

Veggies are how you feel full! I just don't eat them with meals, that's what I eat between meals.

Well you didn't list them in your "this is what I eat" list so I can hardly be responsible for not knowing.

Also: where do you find a can of green beens that equals 7 cups. That's one giant can of green beans.

I know, that's why I said I didn't list them because they aren't part of meals ;) It's not a big deal, I didn't expect people to comment on my original post so it was rather incomplete. I was making a joke about how bland healthy foods are more then anything.

In case of further inquiries I also eat some of:
Kimchi
Pickles
Kombucha
Sauerkraut
Kefir
On a regular basis for gut health.


Fred meyers, double sized green bean can. I'm also totally wrong, it is 7 1/2 cup servings so 3.5 cups. The popcorn is 10 cups popped, or about 6 table spoons unpopped.

I eat less greenbeans then last year because I eat potatoes with lunch now, which I need for potassium. I also eat a banana before my coffee because I like the jolt of sugar.

A quick breakfast one is 2 eggs whisked with mayo until it emulsifies then if you don't have a stove toss it in a microwave safe bowl for 50 seconds or so. You get a soft egg that is cooked with the mayo making an egg sauce perfect to go on toast.
Put it in a ramekin and you can plop it out as a mini souffle for someone.

For more complicated.

Curry Sauce
2oz Curry Powder
2oz Cumin
1oz Tumeric
1oz paprika
1oz cinnamon
2 Teaspoons of Oregano
3 Large Onions diced
Toss the onions in this after toasting the spices with some salt until they start to soften.
Additional spices can be added including 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. An additional ounce of Cumin and/or Curry Powder.

Add
3oz Fish Sauce
2oz Soy Sauce
1 Table Spoon Brown Sugar.
2 Cups of Beef Broth
2oz Rice Wine Vinegar
1 Can of Fire Roasted Tomatoes

Stir in and cook down.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Blitz it in a blender until it is smooth.
Optional
You can run it through a fine mesh to make it even more smooth.
You can add 2 drops of red food colouring to give it a brighter red colouration.

Serve over rice.

So an extremely cheap and easy recipe I have been using a lot lately:

Dry red lentils
Curry powder.

Cook the red lentils on high until water boils, then reduce to medium for 5-6 minutes. Strain.
Mix in curry powder.

Bam! 700 calories, 46 grams protein, 21 grams fiber, 37% potassium intake and costs about $1. It's also an enormous amount of food, full dinner plate worth cooked.

How much dry lentils give you those numbers, and that size on the plate?

1 cup dry lentils, they about triple in volume from the water (1 cup dry is about 3 cups cooked.) Some sites say 1=2.5 cups, but I like them mushier then the traditional cooking time. Also the color of lentils matters, red lentils cook really fast and green take 3x as long for the same results.


Another way to put it, dry it is 192 grams. Wet it is 454 grams, or about 60% weight by water.

Also if you don't have to worry about gluten or other contaminants you can get the lentils for $1.50 a lb so it's more like 25C a meal.

Lentils are awesome. My mom used to make lentils in a tomato sauce with some chaurice sausage. Only had it a few times but I remember it being delicious.

Anyway, I should probably contribute a recipe. fish can be kind of expensive, but I have found Salmon dishes have a high tastiness:effort ratio.

Salmon filet
Brush with olive oil
Season with salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper (a lot of pepper, practically coat the fish in it)
A little bit of grated cheese on top
Sprinkle on some Italian dressing
Cut a tomato into small pieces and put atop the filet.

From there it’s either the oven or grill at 425 for 12 minutes or until it gets all flaky. Squirt lemon juice on before eating.

Microwave some frozen veggies and make some rice and bang, you have got a delicious meal. Sometimes when I make it for the GF I make risotto instead of rice to be extra fancy but that’s a pain in the butt to be honest.

Something on the more simple side that I've been making lately and loving is Spanish rice. I like how versatile it is.

1 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups of broth or water
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic
22.5 oz tomato sauce
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
Butter or oil
1 TBSP lime juice
Whatever vegetables you want (I like bell peppers, jalapeño, corn, black beans, tomato, and avocado)
Whatever toppings you like (I usually go for cilantro, cheddar cheese, and the very controversial sour cream)

First, you sauté the onion and garlic in the oil/butter until the onions start looking clear. Then you add the paprika, cumin, and chili powder, and stir them in for about 15 seconds until they're really fragrant. Next, the rice goes in, because I like to toast it a little. Just let it get a little golden. Once the rice is as toasted as you want it, add the tomato sauce and water/broth and stir it in and bring it to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Once it's done, stir in the lime juice and vegetables (though I usually put the avocado on the side, because it would just get mushed). Serve yourself up a portion and add the rest of the garnishes.

If you want to be extra fancy, use an oven safe pan and once the vegetables are stirred in, smooth the top of the rice out and sprinkle cheese on it and put it in an oven at 350oF until the cheese is all melted, about 5 minutes.

I also found an amazing gumbo recipe a few months ago, but that's a day-long project.

I'll have to try adding soy sauce and onions to my curry. That recipe looks really good.

For my own contribution: I've recently discovered an amazing chicken marinade. It smells weird when you make it but it tastes excellent (somewhat sweet and forms a nice glaze when grilled). - 1/3 cup Olive Oil
- 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

- 3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 3 Garlic Cloves minced or 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper

Boil coconut milk with curry paste
Add a sliced chicken breast (in little bits!)
Wait 10 minutes
Add bits of veggies (courgette, onion...)
Wait 7 minutes
Add egg and maybe a fruit (raspberry or fig goes very well)
Wait 2 minutes

Separately, boil noodles in salted water until they're cooked to the level you like
Put the noodles in the coco-curry-chicken breast-veggies-egg deliciousness after the 2 minutes from the last step

Eat all of it with chopsticks and tell everyone how good it was
