I decided to make meatloaf tonight. Here’s what I came up with after making some changes from my first attempt and I think it’s worth posting now.
Preheat oven to 350° F.
1 lb ground turkey
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup ketchup
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 [...]
Heaven. Sardines are amazing. They are cheap (75 - 85 cents a can where I shop), have a shelf life of several years, are high in protein, and taste great (if you like fish). I’ve found they are fantastic straight of the can, on top of rye crackers, rice cakes, on a [...]
This guy did an interesting 1-month experiment:
For the month of November, I’m only spending $30 on food. The only exception will be things that are freely available to the average person (salt taken from restaurants, sauce packets from Taco Bell, free coffee from an office). Buying in advance is fine, but at the end of [...]
Happy New Year, everyone! Since one of my resolutions this year is to eat out less and cook more, I thought I’d have my first post of 2007 be a recipe. I love these crock pot meals because the preparation time is 5 or 10 minutes and I can leave it slow cooking [...]
Saturday night I took Lori to Space for dinner. Gravity was present, but the filet mignon was out of this world. Maybe my quitting smoking has made me more fully enjoy the taste of food. Or perhaps it was just the Matrix telling my brain that it was juicy and delicious. I [...]
In my opinion quiche is about the perfect meal. You’ve got vegetables, eggs, dairy, grains, and optionally meat all in a convenient pie form factor. So I got some tips from my mom (who is a gourmet cook), looked at some recipes, and came up with my own quick variation which doesn’t involve [...]
Glynn: I think it’s a great idea to publish recipes without exact measurements. In fact, when I cook, I don’t generally get out the measuring cups/spoons. I just throw in what I think looks good. So when I wrote the recipe I had to estimate. Half the fun of cooking is [...]
Kielbasa and vegetables is another quick meal that I like to make. Since my last recipe I obtained a rice cooker and have been making heavy use of it.
1/2 lb Kielbasa sliced.
1 cup cooked rice
1/2 green pepper sliced
6 mushrooms sliced
1 small zucchini sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Sherry or cooking [...]

I’m single. I hate cooking for one person. So I tend to eat out a lot or do quick microwavable meals. But that gets really old and at times unhealthy. So I’ve been trying to come up with more creative meals that are quick to prepare. This week I used [...]
