Answer 1

Susan has never made those recipes dude.....make something that someone knows about....

Taco Salad:

1 lb ground round, browned and made with a taco seasoning packet
cool that and add it to 1/2 bag crushed doritos, a bag of shredded mexican blend cheese, lettuce, onion, sour cream, black olives, tomatos, and anything else you want, like salsa, dig in for like 3 days.

Have meat and cheese slices and wraps around, add that with any type of spread you want and veggies to that have been chopped and make roll ups.

Buy bagged salad and have tons of meats and veggies available, make a salad packed with veggies and meat anytime you want.

Block cheeses and salami are great on crackers with a pickle to help gulp it down.

tacos and burritos, buy the meat and a packet od seasoning, add whatever you want to.

Sloppy Joes are easy....buy a can of manwich and some meat, buns, onions and mustard and go to town!!!

Pasta...with any jar sauce you can find, along with a salad...no brainer.

Answer 5

allrecipes.com and epicurious.com are how I learned. Don't buy packaged cereals. Buy top ramen, little cans of tuna from Sams Club, heck buy everything from Sams or Costco. This is how you'll end up learning how to cook.
