Try sandwiches.... Peanut butter and Jelly or Tuna Melt. That is for snack... For a meal try this one...


- Pork-


- Garlic-


- Vinegar-


- Soy Sauce-





Saute pork and garlic together... Then when meats absorbs the garlic.. Mix with vinegar and soy sauce... Then let it boil until pork is soft and tender... We call That Pork Adobo...





Then just cook rice and there you go...
This is good! Veggie Cous Cous. Can be served warm or cold and if you want to add some meat, a nice bit of lamb marinated in some rosemary, garlic and olive oil for an hour or two and sauted in a pan is a great accompanyment to this dish....








prepare cous cous (Near East is a good brand). Set Aside.





In a large skillet saute veggies in olive oil:





minced garlic


purple onion


zuchini (cut into small pieces, quarters lengthwise then chop into little triangles)


summer squash (chopped same as zuchini)


broccoli (smaller florets)


salt and pepper to taste


Saute all these until cooked through.





Add:


on can rinsed chic peas


handful cashews


handful raisins


curry powder to taste


corriander to taste


reseason with salt and pepper if necessary





toss with cooked cous cous.





Its got a nice middle eastern flair and you can add or omit whatever veggies you want and experiment with spices.


ENJOY!
I like Jamie Oliver - aka - The Naked Chef. His recipes are very ';basic'; in that they don't hunker down the food with tons of items or flavors.





The basics that you can cook delicious food are these: meat, olive oil, white wine, butter, chicken broth or beef broth, thyme, basil, rosemary, sage, garlic, onion, salt pepper, mushrooms, and other vegetables. Have rice and potatoes on hand for sides. These will pretty much make tasty, cheap meals for you. olive oil and garlic are a must for every cook... when you get experienced, you can add herbs and white wine or even chicken broth (to make sauces with your drippings). I recommend JO, though....he's really into simple cooking with just a handful of ingredients for each recipe. good luck and have fun experimenting!
