Well I guess I will join in but I think my idea of simple might be a little different than most. I've learned to multitask and I can put together a meal in 30 minutes and do clean up in progress. I tell people my meals are easy and try to tell them how I make them and most of my friends look at me like I'm an alien and tell me it doesn't sound simple.
Here is one meal I make if I know I will be getting home late or tired from school:
Crock pot Philly cheese steaks:
To feed 3-4 depending on portions or can make multiple meals
2lbs of flat steak cut into strips (think pieces to go on sandwich)
2-3 green bell peppers (strips as well)
1-2 onions (sliced into half rings)
~1 cups of water with beef bullion or or cup of beef broth
Seasonings
I like to put in chili flakes, salt, pepper, (salt can be added in to taste after cooked) garlic pepper, paprika.
Put the crock pot on in the morning and cook on low for about 8 hrs. By the time you get home the meat will just melt in your mouth.
Pile into some crusty french rolls top with fave cheese (we use cheddar or pepper jack) toast in broiler until cheese is melted. Make sure to literally watch or check them every 30 seconds, they can go from toasty to burnt in a matter of seconds. This can be assembled into your crock pot bowl the night before and kept in fridge.
This is a yummy appetizer my friends all love it
Cream Cheese Wontons
• 1 packet of wonton wrappers (60 count)
• 2 packages of cream cheese
• 2 bundles of green onions (diced)
• 1-2 tbl of garlic powder
• 1-2 tbl of onion powder
• Salt & pepper
• 1 can of water chestnuts (chopped)
• 1 egg whisked
Mix together cream cheese, green onions, chopped water chestnuts, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper. With your finger dab the whisked egg on the entire edge portion of the wonton wrapper. Then place a spoonful of the cream cheese mix in the center and bring corners of the wrapper together. Do this until the wrapper looks like a little purse. Fry until golden brown and place on a cookie sheet covered in paper towels to catch the oil.
I have loads more but these are just first. Nice thing about the wonton recipe is that 60 come in one packet and the filling should make all 60 so there is some wiggle room to learn with some of them.
