Anyone know of any SUPER simple meals?

This is easy, quick and cheap...

Chicken fillets (each sliced up so they're thinner) - you can get them already sliced.

Cook some Basmati rice (1 dl. rice to 2 dl. water) Takes half an hour on very low.

Put some olive oil, lime juice, chili, salt and pepper in a bowl. Let the chicken bits marinade for an hour.

10 min. before the rice is cooked, start frying the chicken bits on a pan. Remove the chicken bits to your plate, add a bit of cream or milk on the pan to make a gravy to pour over rice.

2 min. before it's finished, put some some frozen corn in boiling water.

That's it! Can't be more simple! :D

I had a craving for this pizza last night but the pizza place that makes it isn't open on Sunday, and I didn't want to spend the money on pizza.
Then I remembered I had all the ingredients so why not make it myself.

Cheeseburger Pizza
preheat oven to 450.

brown one pound of hamburger and drain if needed.
bake pre made pizza crust for about 5 min or according to package directions. (this are great to have on hand)
In a bowl, and I didn't measure anything just eyeballed how much I thought would spread easily on a crust -
ketchup
mustard
bbq sauce
bacon pieces
relish I used dill but can use sweet.
I mixed all these together but you wouldn't have too. And you could just use hamburger chip pickles, but I had relish on hand so I used that.
Spread the 'sauce' over the crust. Top with hamburger and lots of cheese.
Can add onions if you like onions on your cheeseburger.
Back until cheese is melted and bubbly. (bout 15-20 min)
I did add a couple packets of artificial sweetner to the sauce b/c the dill relish made it pucker up tart!!!

This is my favourite 'quick' recipe,

Lime Garlic Chicken
Seasoned chicken breasts sautéed with butter and garlic and topped with a squeeze of fresh lime.
(Scaled to make 1 serving)
Ingredients:
¼ cup flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 – ½ skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into strips
¼ cup of butter
1 clove of garlic, diced
¼ lime
Lemon pepper to taste

Directions:
1) Mix flour, salt & pepper together in a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, seal bag and shake to coat. Set aside.
2) Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 3 to 4 minutes, until it starts to change colour. Sauté coated chicken strips with butter and garlic for 10 to 15 minutes, until cooked through and juices run clear.
3) Squeeze lime over chicken and sprinkle with lemon pepper. Serve hot.

I'm allergic to tuna too, but chicken work just as good.

When I was a poor college student, a sometimes meal was pasta (whatever was on sale), a can of tuna, a can of mushrooms, and parmesan cheese. Yum. Now I have to do without the tuna part, and it's not as fun.

Oh - here's a quick and easy one!

Wash some spinach and tear it into smaller pieces. (Baby spinach you can leave whole). Put it in the bottom of a bowl.

Dump some grated cheese - room temperature - in with it.

Boil some pasta.

Dump the cooked pasta into the bowl, stir the spinach and cheese in, and then cover the dish and let it sit for a minute.

The heat from the pasta will cook the spinach just enough, and met the cheese.

Dump in some bacon bits - just microwave some bacon until it's crunchy and crumble in.

Stir and serve!

How much cheese and how much spinach and bacon depends on your taste!
