Alright, I know I set up one contest in which you give me recipes and I get the ingredients, but recently finances have taken a sharp turn in my household. However, I was greatly enjoying the suggestions, and so Jigsaw had a brilliant plan: Reverse the roles! So I am going to list the ingredients in my household, and you give me recipes using only those ingredients! Now, I'm also not going to offer as much Viz for reward as the other thread. I have several contests going on, and a forum to pay for, so nearly all of my Viz is acclaimed. (And obviously, I can't donate right now to get more.) However, I hope that you guys will participate with the goal of fun in mind. I went through my fridge and cabinets, and I was super surprised that we do have a wide variety to pick from right now. We have stuff in our cabinets that I wasn't even aware of, and some of it obviously can't be 'cooked' with. However, I'm going to list everything for those more creative people. Put on your thinking caps and let's see if you can create anything delicious! (Obviously, once an ingredient has been consumed, it can't be used in future recipes, so I'll try to update the list as much as possible.) Just post your recipes here! The rewards: 1st Place: 10,000 viz 2nd Place: 5,000 viz 3rd Place: 1,000 viz Ingredients that need to be used quickly before they go bad: - - - - - -2 garlic ...... bulbs? heads? -20 or so eggs -2 cups of sour cream -1/2 of a watermelon Can be used leisurely: -flour (not sure of the amount, but more than a few cups) -5 boxes of Mac 'n Cheese -3 boxes of Kraft shells -30 or so packets of Ramen -1 box of Shake 'n Bake (Original Pork) -1 box of instant potatoes -3 boxes of flavored scalloped potatoes -2 boxes of stuffing (chicken flavored) -lots of grits -lots of oatmeal -enough rice for 2 or 3 meals -8 oz or so of chicken stock -cornstarch (Thanks Mia!) -12 or so cans of green beans -3 large cans of tuna -1 large can of yams -1 can of black olives -1 jar of classic Alfredo -2 very small cans of tomato soup -1 jar peanut butter -2 bags of cornbread mix - -1 jar sauerkraut -pickles (spicy, bread and butter) -1 can of pepperoncinis (or however that's spelled) -lots and lots of hot sauce! -PLENTY of condiments, including mayo, miracle whip, mustard, ketchup, dressings, cocktail sauce, salsas, -lots of spices Frozen Stuff: -2 bags of diced broccoli -1 small block of chopped spinach -5 or so slices of Philly cheesesteak -8 or so breakfast sausage patties - -4 lbs of ground turkey..... (O.o I have no idea why my husband is hoarding this... honestly... I had no idea we had so much!) Desserts(?): -pancake mix (and maple syrup of course) -vanilla extract - -lots of cereals -3 sticks of butter -almost a gallon of milk (will be gone quickly!) -sugar (don't know how much, but more than a few cups) -jellies -15 yogurt cups of various flavors -a cup or so of ground coffee -chocolate syrup As far as -special- cooking utensils, I only have a couple: a crock pot, a waffle maker, and a juicer.

earthwarrior : Until I run out of ingredients. After all, I'm sure we'll get groceries once or twice this month. As long as that list looks here, it really isn't that much food in my cabinets in fridge. They're pretty bare. LOL Just don't spam the thread and pay attention to what is available and what isn't. And the summon failed again. haha. JigSaw : Did you know you are very difficult to summon? Just don't spam the thread and pay attention to what is available and what isn't.

Singelli : Thanks for mentioning me! I have three good recipes that'll make good use of some of the foods that'll spoil. French Omelet: 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of butter/margarine. What to do: Beat 3 eggs just until the whites and yolks are blended. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter/margarine in skillet over low heat. Coat edges of skillet with melting butter. Then quickly pour eggs all at once. Slide skillet back and forth rapidly over heat until mixture has set. Add desired ingredients. Flip the egg over with spatula to close. For now I'll only mention this one. The others are to come later. |

Here is something simple hopefully it turns out better then my last idea:
You will need: - Tuna - Mayo - Onions - Mustard - Bread (if you have any) Put tuna in a bowl or pan that would go in oven. Now mix it with mayo and mustard, shred up some onions and pieces of bread and put it in the pan with the tuna. Cook in oven for 10 to 30 minutes. I have no clue what this will turn out like. The only reason I am suggesting this is because when I go to subway I get tuna with onions and mustard I also have cooked bread in oven and its nice and crunchy taste good with tuna.

For starts, I'd throw the pot roast, potatoes, onions, carrots, broccoli, and garlic in the crockpot some morning before work on high and come home to a delicious meal. Make sure it's covered with water, season with Worcestershire or some sort of meat rub/tenderizer, seasoning salt, pepper, etc. depending on your taste. I'd probably put some dried chopped red peppers or Cajun seasoning in there too, but that's just me.
I'll try to think of something more creative later, but I speak from experience that that is a hardy, delicious meal that leaves leftovers. Also great when you got a fridge full of veggies standing on their last leg and you wanna make something delicious quick.

Ugh... Alfredo sauce and no noodles...
Hmm... well if you don't mind doing this, you could take your mac and cheese noodles (or shells if that's preferable), throw in the Alfredo sauce... add some spinach (thawed first)... I guess you'll hafta throw in ground turkey for meat. It's something of a pasta anyway. I recommend cooking it all in a skillet for ease if you have one. Throw a cup of water into the skillet (medium heat) and throw your noddles in there, allowing them to boil as the water evaporates. You can also throw your meat and in there at the same time so it can all cook together (stir frequently so nothing sticks). Once your meat is nice and browned and the noodles are soft, throw in your spinach and Alfredo sauce in there and turn the stove down to Low so that it can simmer. Make sure to stir well. Simmer for a 1-2 minutes and then serve. And... that's just me on the fly making this up right now. I may have better ideas later if I take actual time. I'm really thinking about that Ramen of yours. You can do some mean stuff with Ramen. Especially since you have chicken stock to serve as a good broth base for soup. I just hafta figure out what you should throw into it.

XHero111 : No offense, but you really need to read the rules of my contest. I even tried to explain it to you in a pm....... I'm not going to accept that recipe because it breaks nearly every rule I established. Crazy Li : No noodles. I know, crazy, right? I'd say more, but I'm exhausted and I need to go crash. lol Good night, vizzed! Crazy Li : No noodles. I know, crazy, right?

Hey! I understand the limited grocery deal! Here is something easy to do on a night you don't have a lot of time...... Ingredient list.... Rice Ground Turkey Onion Garlic Seasonings Butter Dice the Onion and smash up 1 or 2 cloves of garlic. Saute the onion with the smashed garlic. I saute mine in butter, but you can use veg oil if you want. Boil 1 cup of rice, 2 if feeding large family. After boiled, add butter to your liking. Mix your favorite seasonings into raw ground turkey. I usually use cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and a little onion powder. Remove the sautéed onion and garlic from skillet, brown the turkey in the skillet you used to saute onion like you are making taco meat. Layer rice, onion, then turkey. It's like a burger helper without all of the sauce. Ingredient list.... Rice Ground Turkey Onion Garlic Seasonings Butter Dice the Onion and smash up 1 or 2 cloves of garlic.

KG: So, I kind of went with your idea first because nearly all my veggies are standing on their last legs. However, I don't have much seasoning or meat rub/ tenderizer, so I decided to be a little creative. I spent the past two days slow cooking the pot roast, the carrots, some potatoes, the broccoli, an onion, the cucumbers, and some garlic. However, I cooked all the veggies in the juice left from the pot roast. The potatoes were actually delicious just as a standalone, and I ate a spud for breakfast and brought one to school to have as lunch. *chuckles* Then.... well, all of it was looking rather dry once I drained the juice, and because our crock pot is so small, I could only cook one thing at the time, and the actual meat had lost a lot of its moistness. I cooked some rice and... well... Mia03 : I used your sauce for a pot roast. Yeah.... I was very scared, as it's a completely .... strange combination. You have the hearty roast and starch and vegetables.. cooked in a spicy and audacious oriental sauce... over a bed of rice. I will say this: it doesn't taste bad. That being said, Mia's recipe with Mia's sauce is a lot better than pot roast with Mia's sauce. Because the vegetables were pretty much stewed, their isn't much flavor or crispness to them, and it ends up dulling the taste of the sauce. (And the cucumbers seemed to just fall apart. You can't even tell they were ever there, which scares me. LOL) It's okay that it's not glamorous though. I wanted to cook the food before it went bad, and so I did. This should last a few more days now, and me and my husband can keep our stomachs full. I'll attribute this one to you KG, unless my creative license means you'd rather I didn't.

TheFadedWarrior : LOL... While... It's still frozen? Haha... you take a bite first. And since you've given me the opportunity, it's time for me to fix a broken summon. (Why couldn't you have done it? ) KG : Read the post above TheFadedWarrior if you're interested. LOL... While... It's still frozen? Haha... you take a bite first.

Aw man, that sucks that you weren't able to do it all together. I assumed you'd have a garbonzo huge crock pot like me for some reason and could do it all at once! =( Oops!!
Next time if you're in the same situation, try taking this route: Cook the meat in your crockpot for a day until it's fully cooked or close to it, then put it in a big baking dish (I usually use a glass 13x9 cake pan for most of my cassaroles/baked things). Transfer the meat and the juice to the ban, covering the veggies as much as you can, and bake for an hour or two. The meat may get tougher, so it may be a good idea go halfsies and keep the meat in the crock pot with some of the juice and covered to keep the moisture in and warm, while still being able to bake the vegetables in with the flavorful juices. Also if you're trying to pinch pennies and be thrifty with your groceries, I'll tell you something I do! It doesn't save too much money normally but since I like them on just about everything, I have a tip on how to have green onions around always! I don't know what you call them, spring onions or scallions or whatever, but you can actually buy some from a grocery store, cut off down to where it gets thick and lighter green, and put the roots and the lower part in a glass of water! They'll keep growing, even without sunlight or anything. Just water. Within 2 days, they'll have grown like, half an inch. I put some in water last week and they're already damn near as long as they are when you buy them from a store! You can keep cutting them as much as you like, and if you change the water like a couple times a week, they'll just keep growing and growing! Since I put them on everything, it probably saves me like $10 a month. Nothing too remarkable but I think it's a handy trick to always have them on hand. Sorry if this is all off topic. I have some cheap meal things I use around my house if you're ever interested! We're food buffs but we don't like spending a lot, haha. I'll take another look at your ingredients left sometime here and try to get creative!

Local Mods : I would like this thread closed. I don't have the time to cook. To all those who planned on participating, I apologize. I have a lot to do and not much time to do it in. I'll just convince my husband to cook. To all those who planned on participating, I apologize. I have a lot to do and not much time to do it in. I'll just convince my husband to cook. |
