like here's one - i used to know this one bitch who'd totally buy these frozen pizzas - then would sprinkle some extra toping (like fresh tomatoes) - and then in step 3 would pass of these pizzas as made-from-scratch (by her own self).

a lot of you dudes out there - can buy some sort of precooked frozen dish (always go organic) and add some stuff to it to make it look different enough than the pic on the package. it's highly realistic to pass it off as your own. and thus impress whatever poor female you managed to lure into your house that night.

these recipes are good though and I will be trying (but not that bacon grease sandwich or cherry thing). here are some uber quick ideas:
1) if you can just fry up some chicken - which is quick you can use various frozen vegetables as extremely quick and highly nutritious sides.
2) quick side dish which goes great with chicken or fish - put baby carrots in a shallow pan with a little butter, pour orange juice over the carrots and add some brown sugar to taste - simmer on L/M heat until the orange juice cooks out. the baby carrots will be glazed and very delicioso!
3) bean salads for quick lunches - get canned beans for this. i like to mix black, kidney, and red - but you can create your own unique combo. mix the beans in a bowl - and then douse in freshly-squeezed lime juice and add some cilantro. this actually tastes great (and i'm not all that into beans, but actual bean lovers - really dig this). if u ever serve this at a BBQ or sumthin you can cut lime slices and decorate the top of the salad with them. it looks nice.

1. lol, they're there for the fun, not the food...trust me on this!
2. oh, shit...I love oranges AND carrots...repz for this one!
3. no beans for lunch for me...another one of those pwn foods that give me fart blossoms and I can't be doing THAT at work, lol!

[YouSlayMe]

yes, yes you can youslayme! thats the beauty of being a woman - you can rip mad farts and blame it on some fat guy that happens to be walking by.
you just have to train your butt just right tho to perfect the silent killer technique.

oh, and as far as the bean salad goes - you can also chop up some onion into it - for more zest, but the lime does a damn good job.

just one of the beauties of being a woman...I know you know what I mean! but yeah, i've done that a couple times.

[Old_But_Wise]

1) a lot of these recipes are not that easy (i know a lot of women and men who'd struggle with half of the shit on here).
2) OBW, i figured you'd be giving like practical life advice not recipes.

I thought recipes were practical life advice...

Here is a recipe from my bachelor days, before the cute bird.

Hangover Surprise

Take a couple good brats and slowly boil in beer of choice (Guiness just in case your choice sucks). Then chop an onion and a couple jalapenos and set aside. Julienne a boiled potato, (make fries yo). Cut Sausage into bits once boiled and beat with three eggs along with onion, peppers, and potatoes and fry in grease until done. Then top that shit with cheese. Result really full hangover gone. Not a pretty dish but easy and filling.

[Shaggydoo]

Shaggy's awesome Jalepeno burger:

Needed:

Ground beef
Bacon
Dale's seasoning sauce/marinade
Couple Jalepenos
One onion
One egg per lb of ground beef.
Pepperjack cheese.
Good buns.

Finely mince Jalepenos and onion in about equal amounts. Mix the pepper/onion in with ground beef and egg mix (whites are fine). Pat into patties and marinade them with the Dale's seasoning for about 15-30 mins, or whatever floats your boat. I also use soy sauce sometimes. Cook bacon first and hamburger patties in the bacon fat. When done and freshly pulled off the grill/stove top the patties with bacon and cheese so the cheese melts just perfect.

Serve as-is on a bun, or top with whatever else you'd like.

SPICY BACON CHEESEBURGERS FTW!

Easy-cheesy Garlic Shrimp:

Needed:

1lb shrimp, de-veined/shelled.
Shredded cheese of choice.
Garlic salt/powder
Onion salt/powder
1 tbsp Butter

Cook the shrimp in 2 quarts of boiling water (I add garlic salt to the water) for NO MORE than 5-6 mins. Drain and rinse with COLD water to keep the shrimp from continuing cooking. Melt cheese, 1tbsp butter, garlic/onion powder/salt together, stirring often. Pour cheese/butter/garlic/onion mixture on top of shrimp.

Serve

To go more complex: Saute onions, bell peppers, or whatever you'd like and add to the previous mixture.

[Shaggydoo]

i havent had shrimp in SOOOOOOO long (for health reasons), but arghhh this made me crave shrimp. lemon doused shrimp. i always put lemon on my shrimp!

I do a version of lemon pepper shrimp also. :yum:

[Shaggydoo]

Yep. Fish love shrimp also. Turtles too.

Good recipe.

I cook every night and my favorite food is hot wings so I gave this a try.

The recipe was followed exactly except for a couple things.

Two things I changed:
1) Bread wings and bake at 400 for 45 minutes (24)
2) Use butter in place of margarine.

* I always bread the wings because they soak up more hot sauce, making them tastier.

I can't have hot wings without bleu cheese.
1) Container of bleu cheese crumbles
2) Ranch dressing (or peppercorn)
3) Mayo

Good stuff!

Ribs and Kraut

1 slab of pork ribs cut into 1/4s
1 Bag of sauerkraut
1 medium onion, sliced
Salt and pepper
Granulated garlic
1/2 bottle of beer
1 tbs brown sugar

Season ribs with salt, pepper and garlic. Brown uncovered in oven on rack, (make sure to put cookie sheet under ribs to catch grease). Do not fully cook ribs.(Browning the ribs gives a much better flavor) Place half the kraut in baking dish, top with ribs, add rest of the kraut, onions, and brown sugar. Top with beer and cover. Bake for 1 hour at 375 degrees or until pork is tender. (Browning the ribs gives a much better flavor).

Serves 2-4

[Squirrel]

I made these a couple nights ago and they taste pretty good.

They go great with a cold beer.
__________________________________________________ ________-

Ingredients
1 pound sliced bacon, cut into thirds
1 (14 ounce) package beef cocktail wieners
3/4 cup brown sugar, or to taste

Directions
1.Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

2.Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all.

3.Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.

Prepped


Brown Sugar


Finished (I actually put them back into the over for another 15 minutes after this photo). The recipe states 40 min but I would say 50-55 min.
