What are some easy recipes for someone that is new to cooking?

Answer 1

EASY POT ROAST, COLE SLAW AND JELLO:
Feeds 3-4

Pot roast:
3 lb chuck roast
1 pkg lipton onion soup mix, dry
1 can cream mushroom soup, campbells
2 celery stalks, diced
1 onion, diced
3 whole carrots, peeled and cut
4 potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/4
1 crushed garlic clove
2 tbsp flour

1 Reynold's slow cooker liner, optional
If using a large slow cooker, a liner makes cleaning up a snap!

If no slow cooker, use a large oven safe pot, add the can of cream mushroom soups, 1 additional can of water, the lipton dry soups, flour and mix the ingredients well with a wisk.

Add the roast and the garlic. Mix around til covered with soup mix. Add the onions and veggies.

If using a crock pot, Add water to barely cover the veggies (remember the water level may go up during cooking!).
Cover and turn crock pot to med/low. Cook 6-8 hours and it will be so tender!

If using a oven safe pot, put in oven covered (with lid or foil) at 325 degrees. Cook for 3 hours. Check on roast. When pierced the juices should run clear. You can test it by slicing the middle. If not ready, cook uncovered for 30-45 more minutes.


MEXICAN COLE SLAW

1 bunch cilantro, finely diced
1large tomato diced
1 cabbage, sliced and diced
1 cup diced celery (or a whole bunch of celery)
1 brown onions, diced

In a large bowl - Add the cabbage, then the cilantro, tomato, celery / onion, jalapeno and a dash of salt/pepper.
Add the avocado then 3 big spoonful of mayo or just enough to moisten to your taste. Mix well. Chill for 1 hour and serve cold

JELLO DESSERT

1 tub coolwhip

In a non metalic bowl, prepare the jello as on the package but use 1/2 cup less water per package.
Add fresh fruit like fresh strawberries, grapes, chopped apples. Let it gel for 3-5 hours. Mix up the jello and add 1 tub of cool whip. Add more if desired. Mix well, and its like an ambrosia.

Answer 5

one of the easiest things to fix is scrambled eggs


Break eggs into a bowl; allow 2 eggs per person.
Whisk eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
In a heavy skillet over medium heat, melt 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter.
When the butter stops foaming, reduce heat to medium-low.
Add the eggs to the hot pan.
After a minute or 2, when the bottom and edges have begun to cook and solidify, scrape and lift the edges with a spatula and allow the uncooked part to run under the part lifted. Fold cooked parts towards the center.
Repeat the scraping, lifting, and folding until the egg has formed curds. More stirring will make small curds and less will make larger, fluffier curds.
When the curds are firm but still moist, remove to plates or serving dish. They will continue cooking after they leave the pan.
Tips:
For lighter eggs, add about a tablespoon of milk, water, or cream for each egg.
For extra flavor and texture, add minced vegetables and/or ham to the butter and sauté for a few minutes before adding the eggs.
What You Need:
Heavy skillet
Whisk or fork
Eggs
