I need some simple recipes for homecooking thing at school, i don't really need the ingredients or how to make them just an idea or a name would be fine.


Answer
Favorite E-Z recipes you might want to try.
Good Luck & enjoy.

COLA CHICKEN
(And more variations of recipe)
(My personal favoritesâ¦.using this recipe
are the âwings & ribsâ¦.ummm good!)

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)

Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!

You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto "Hot Wings"!

I have used Ribs, just as good.

I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally
as good...served over rice.

I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small jar of Salsa (any variety).
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be messed up....wouldn't you??
Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed Salsa & Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out the catsup) & Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might be a little sweeter than some of you like.

I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for "HOT") Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).

Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.

Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that
great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.

Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see
myself making this again.
Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles.

Gonna try some butterfly cut pork chopesâ¦..or boneless chopsâ¦or pork steaksâ¦â¦should be good!

Try little cocktail wieners/sausagesâ¦for appetizers.

What can I make for my parents 25th Anniversary dinner?




booshette


It's my parent's 25th wedding anniversary this week and neither of them want a huge fuss. So I was going to make them a surprise meal and get a few presents. There will only be three maybe four of us. I'm not the most amazing cook & I'm going to have lots of work to do as well from school.
So does anyone have any ideas for a simple , but different & tasty (most importantly) meal I can make for my parents?



Answer
This is a good menu. Add some dinner rolls and salad for a complete easy meal -- congratulations to your parents!

Roast Sticky Chicken-Rotisserie Style
Servings: 4

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 onions, quartered
1 (4 pound) whole chicken
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix together salt, paprika, onion powder, thyme, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Remove and discard giblets from chicken. Rinse chicken cavity, and pat dry with paper towel. Rub chicken inside and out with spice mixture. Place onion into the cavity of chicken. Place chicken in a resealable bag or double wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 to 6 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
3. Place chicken in a roasting pan. Bake uncovered for 5 hours, to a minimum internal temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C). Let the chicken stand for 10 minutes before carving.

Roasted New Red Potatoes
Servings: 4

1-1/2 pounds small red new potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Salt and freshly ground black
pepper
Directions:
1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Toss potatoes with oil, salt and pepper. Arrange, cut side down, on a large lipped cookie sheet or jellyroll pan.
2. Roast until tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes (check after 20 minutes). Transfer to a serving dish.

German Style Green Beans
2 - 3 slices bacon, fried crisp
3 tablespoons onion, chopped
2 can green beans, drained
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
Reserve bacon drippings in skillet. Sautee onion in drippings until transparent. Add beans, vinegar and sugar. Heat over medium heat stirring frequently for about 10 minutes. Crumble bacon over beans and toss before serving.

Chocolate Cherry Cake
1 package Devil's Food cake mix
1 can cherry pie filling
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs, well beaten
¼ cup butter, melted
½ cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
â cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
3 ½ cups powdered sugar
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9 x 13" baking pan. In large bowl combine mix, cherry filling, almond extract and eggs. Stir well, careful not to destroy cherries. Spread into prepared pan and bake 30 - 35 minutes, until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.

After cake is removed from oven and still hot, prepare frosting by combining melted butter, cocoa and salt. Then add milk and vanilla. In three parts, mix in sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if too stiff for spreading.

Spread on cake while still warm.
