(This is just a small sample of my recipe dex....if you have questions or have a an ingredient you need a new idea for, let me know and I will try and help!)
Breakfast:
Apple and Cheddar Tartine
Top baguette pieces with apple butter, sliced apple, and Cheddar and broil for a non-traditional yet delicious breakfast in just 10 minutes.
Oatmeal With Apricots and Raisins
If you don't have time to spare in the morning, you can make the oatmeal the night before and refrigerate. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes to reheat.
Mushroom and Egg White Omelet
Beating the egg whites incorporates air and ensures a tender, fluffy omelette.
Waffles With Nut Butter and Bananas
Upgrade frozen waffles with your nut butter of choice, thinly sliced bananas, and a drizzle of honey.
Scrambled Egg Tacos
If you like things spicy, mix a little diced jalapeño into the eggs before scrambling. (add whatever you like as a topping....one of my favs YUM!)
Toast With Yogurt and Smoked Salmon
Mix up a classic breakfast dish by swapping in toasted country bread instead of bagels and low-fat Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese.
Yogurt With Grapes and Granola
To take this parfait to go, pack it in an insulated coffee cup or thermos.
French Toast With Raspberry Syrup
A little cinnamon in the batter adds an extra hint of spice; top the toast with chopped roasted macadamia nuts if you're feeling fancy. (this works with any syrup...pick your flavour)
Cottage Cheese With Minted Pineapple
This recipe will work year-round with a variety of seasonal fruits; try clementine segments or quartered strawberries in place of the pineapple. (Personally I like it better with melons vs pineapple but I know many ppl like pineapple.)
Egg Sandwich With Ham and Spinach
The slightly runny egg yolks will mingle with the bread, ham, and spinach and create an instant sauce as you eat this sandwich. You can do this in the Macca's verison (McDonald's to non Aussies) Rasher (Bacon), egg, and cheese on an American biscuit or an EU, UK, IRL, AUS Scone. Or a bagel, or a English muffin. Sausage is also amazing in this dish. I like to play around with different cheeses, so have fun and go wild...leave out the green's if they turn your stomach.
Eggs Benidict is another fav of mine and so simple....lovely English muffins topped with rashers/ham, poached eyes and hollidenise sauce with some lovely spinach.
Bisicuts(Scones) and pepper gravy...with a slice of rashers/ham/bacon or whatever...maybe some eggs....I mean seriously...how can you go wrong????
You can never go wrong with sweet or savory french toast or pancakes.
Lunch/Dinner:
Ham pasta with tomatos, feta, parm cheese, cucumbers, onions and some minced garlic always grand. The secret is after you cook the ham and garlic together add one can of evaprated milk until it boils and then add 1tsp or a bit more of cornstarch (depends on the thickness you want). TIP: ALWAYS add a bit of water to cornstarch and mix it well until smooth otherwise it will just clump up in a mess of YUCK.
Chicken pasta, add anything you want the main thing I use in this is AUS french dressing which is TOTALLY different from the the US French dressing... It is closer to US Greek Dressing....please take note of that. This dish is great with, cucumber, tomato, feta, black and green olives, and onions...or whatever else that tickles your pickle.
American Souther Style Chicken Spagetii....so so so so good!! Cheap quick and super easy.
Club sandwhich with crisp (plain salted I find works best with a pickle on the side)
Chicken schnitzel Ceasar sandwhich.
Cobb Salad
Pull pork, beef, chicken bbq sandwhiches topped with coleslaw and served with chips or crisp. (Fries or chips)
Gourmet grilled cheese with tomato soup.... have fun mixing different cheeses with this and grilling away..goes great with a slice of meat like ham.
Mexican quiche or any kind of quiche will also work great in a pinch...super easy to make and very budget friendly.
Spiced Snapper with radish salad.
Mexican style fish stew or hell make it a taco even better!!!
Quinoa crusted salmon with mixed veggies
Wasabi salmon ( do not go crazy here unless you want to die....oh wait, we do!!!!!) Serve with fried rice or streamed rice with some veg.
Lemon pepper fished in its own "tartar sauce".... simple lay your fish out in a baking dish...season with salt and lemon juice...wait 20 mins. Then layer on a nice layer of mayo on top of the fish, sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning add a bit more lemon juice, and then bake. Very yummy...I promise. I had a friend who hated fish with a passion, she tried it and changed her mind.
Seafood salad on crackers or a croissant with tomato, lettuce and cheese.
Chicken salad...I like this one because there are so many different ways to have fun with this one.
Example:
Chicken, mayo, sliced grapes, walnuts (pick your fav nut here) celery (if you like it...I do not but it works in this) add some salt mix it up and serve it on whatever you feel like.
Chicken, mayo, lime, green onions (chives) salt and pepper.
Chicken, mayo, dried cranberries, celery, walnuts (again pick your nut) and any other dried fruit if you wish, it is up to you...personally it is great the way it is...but hey, have fun!
Seared tune with shaved vegetable salad
Salmon with creamed mash and horeradish sauce....wedge of lemon and yep!
Fish and chips with mushy peas....I mean really can we go wrong here? Add a pint of Guiness and we are grand! Slainte!!!
Fish tacos...no matter the fish it is great....make a lovely guacomale sauce and drizzle it on top and the world really becomes a happy place.
Roasted Cod with Almond and tyme breadcrumbs
Grilled talapia w/smoked paprika and parm cheese
Alfredo petso pasta with a protein if you like. Easy to do from scratch.
Pasta with sweetcorn, ricotta and basil
Ravioli pasta bake with some garlic bread on the side....simple and will not break the bank
Bubbles and squeak (yes I know...more of a brekkie dish but hey..it works on all levels so HUSH)
Roast chickn OR FISH with garlic butter potatoes and tomato salad
Mabled rye ruben grilled to perfection served with crisp
Teriyaki anything with sesame vegetable (feel free to add noodles to this dish)
Thai beef larb with egg fried rice
Pasta carbonara topped with crispy rashers and parm cheese
If in doubt...ask me... if you want some more idea...let me know..I live for this. My dessert (for those out there) dex is overflowing with hundreds of ideas.... Yeah I am the crazy cook lady...I have no life...
