Answer 1

Now that the weather is getting colder, I love to make soups. Try some of the prepackaged mixes first to see what kind you like. Also, bags of dried beans and lentils frequently have a soup recipe printed on them. One of my favorites is to brown crumbled up sausage and onions, some celery and carrots, and then add to lentils with some vegetable stock. Serve with bread, cheese, wine, and olives and you've got an easy and filling dinner. Plus, you can make a large batch of soup and freeze some for later in individual containers. Finally, just about any soup can be made vegetarian by leaving out the meat and substituting vegetable stock for beef or chicken stock. Check out www.epicurious.com for more recipes. I always find a good one or two there. Good luck!

Answer 2

I get inspired by watching the food network and my favorite chefs. I never go for complicated and time consuming recipes and most of their recipes can be prepared in 1/2 and hour (not including cooking necessarily). The recipes are online and then I make my grocery list based upon the recipes. I always have these items on hand; chicken breast tenders, hamburger, bread crumbs, extra virgin olive oil, buttermilk, canned tomatoes, parmesean, lemons, celery, carrots, onions, garlic, olives, balsamic vinegar......Is that helpful?

Giada DeLaurentis has vegetarian recipes on foodnetwork.com. I really like her recipes.

Answer 3

I get star-aniseed, chinese five-spice and soy sauce, and cook chicken drumstick with them with ginger.

Very simple but yummy.

It's a Chinese dish.
