Making a cookbook...recipes please

[JCJ]

A co-worker of mine has just recently moved out on his own. To help him out I have decided to make him a cook book with simple recipes.
Does anyone have any easy recipes for a 19yr old boy...thanks

These are great ideas...I might have to try some out myself

cheap and easy:

~can of tuna/salmon
~cheese
~eng.muffin/toast/leftover buns...
~[optional: mayonaise]

mix up the tuna and mayo, slap it on the english muffin, layer cheese on top [sliced or grated], melt in the oven/toaster oven/microwave and enjoy! -r.

[freestuffnut]

this one is very easy, all done in one frying pan - tell him to keep a few cans of condensed cream soup at hand and he's got the base for it... and he should keep a box of minute rice on hand.

~curry powder
~a chicken breast
~minute rice
~can of condensed -cream- soup [we like mushroom]
~half the suggested amount of water or milk [half the can]
~a little cooking oil
~a frying pan
~a bowl for pre-mixing the soup with water/milk
~[optional: frozen veggies]
~[optional: pita bread]

1] brown the chicken in a frying pan [cut up or left whole - the main thing is that it gets cooked through!]
2] start your minute rice [generally one cup water, bring to boil, add one cup minute rice, remove from heat and leave -covered- for 5 minutes, done]
3] [optional: add veggies]
4] add curry powder to liking [I use 2-3 tablespoons]
5] pre-mix soup and water/milk in a bowl and add to the chicken in the pan... cook until it looks mixed thouroughly and it's hot

~put it all together on a plate, [optional:serve with pita]~ ENJOY!

I was trying to remember what I survived off of back in the day and here's what I always kept in my pantry, which was a kitchen cupboard and the fridge-freezer back then. :lol:

~cans of: tuna, condensed soup, corn, spaghetti sauce
~packets of: side dishes, indomie [insta-noodles, like ramen], minute-rice
~spices: garam masala, curry powder
~pasta: spaghetti, macaroni, fettucine
~fridge: parmesan cheese, pepperoni sticks, fake-mayo
~freezer: veggies, pre-cut english muffins, leftovers

I put down fake-mayo because real mayonaise goes bad and turns into poison when left out and most bachelors don't know/care-about/believe it.

I'll post more recipes later... my under-two and four can't be heard aside from the occasional thump, so I'd best be off... -r.

p.s. not sure how close you are/how far he has to travel with his stuff, but you could put together a reasonably-priced bachelor basket for him to take?!
