Everyone can post their yummy delicious recipes here! Family recipes, good ones you found on the internet, or bizarre ones you've made up yourself.

Here is a mock-up of what the Recipe Book might be formatted like. The pages will be fancier and such, but this is the general idea.

People have been posting some recipes in this thread , did you want to replace it or try for something a little different?

I was thinking of just recipes, actually, instead of a mix of general things people are cooking. Just thought it might be nice (:

My recipe book may not be very extensive, but these recipes have been passed down through generations.

Fill an ice tray with water. Place ice tray filled with water into the freezer. Wait a little while. Remove ice tray from freezer. Your ice is ready to be served into a cup. If you are feeling adventurous, you could add water or some other beverage to the glass of ice.

Take two slices of bread. Using a clean knife, spread peanut butter on one of the wide sides of both slices of bread, covering as much of the surface area as possible. Stack the two slices of bread together such that the peanut butter sides are touching. It is important that there is no "peanut butter side" on the "outside" of the stack of bread slices. That is, no peanut butter should be on the very top or very bottom of the stack of bread. The peanut butter sandwich is ready to be served.

I don't mind if you call me "MSD" or something for short.
Perhaps someday I'll have leisure time back...

MSD - That was very funny. I gave my sweetheart's children a binder for collecting recipes and put in a couple of recipes to start. One was for ice and another was for boiling water. You have to start with the basics, after all. Nice job on the PB sandwich.

Lipglosschaos - Maybe you need to kick start this thing off. I'm a little conflicted because if I'm going to post a recipe, I'm more likely to want to put it in the other thread where a discussion has already been started and is ongoing. I guess if I think of a random recipe that I'm not posting in the other thread or if someone inspires one here, then I could add one here too.

Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie.

1 banana.
1 Tablespoon of Peanut Butter
1 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
2/3 cup Soy milk
3-4 Ice cubes

Directions:
Blend ingredients together and enjoy!

Or

if you don't like peanut butter or want the milk shake to taste more chocolaty, use Nutella instead of peanut butter.

Cook some rice. Mix in sauteed onions and cooked ground sausage. Add corn, black beans, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, tobasco and chopped tomato. Fold into warmed tortilla with some queso fresco or something. Maybe add some salsa or something. Repeat. Put a fried egg in it for breakfast. The yolk makes the best sauce.

Fuck yes, my burritos are delicious, you don't even know. I like to douse them in far too much sriracha.

Frankokomando - I'm so glad you shared your recipe for peanut butter and Nutella smoothies! I've been curious about them since you wrote about it in the other thread.

They're pretty good and healthy enough to have for breakfast.

If you want we (or I) could assemble the recipes into a pdf or google docs document and post the link or download file here?

Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather.

1) Grab a shit load of broccoli.
2) Wrestle with the rubber band holding the bunches together. fuck why do they even use this thing? godfuck you got the little green flower things all over the counter. where's the knife? just cut the damn thing off.
3) Dig in a drawer for a knife that hasn't been ruined from the dishwasher by some tardbreath. subsequently stab yourself because you're blindly shoving your hand into a drawer full of knifeblades. consider the possibility that this is revenge for calling those people tardbreaths.
4) search for bandages, find none. (more revenge). grab a paper towel and a rubber glove. look at you, you're macgyvering all over the place.
5) Clean blood from knife. Remember that you have to peel broccoli stems before you can eat that shit. consider crapping out on this whole scene. you can't be expected to cut and peel it.
6) Don oven mitts. retrieve vegetable peeler from the drawer. laugh at all those stupid knives. WHO'S CUTTING WHO NOW?
7) Peel and chop broccoli into food-sized bits.
8) Remove lid from your double-tier rice cooker/ vegetable steamer. if you don't have one, they're like 22 bucks, god you're such a cheapskate. why don't you just eat some cup ramen and poptarts in the candle light, hobopants?
9) Dump the broccoli in the vegetable part, put some rice and whatever amount of water in the rice part. put seasonings or some shit in there.
10) Press "on".
11) Cook up some sort of dead animal to eat with it. If there are no dead animals available to you, dead coagulated bean juice will suffice.
12) When everything's done, put the things that aren't rice on top of the things that are rice, and put cheese sauce on top of that. you can also take all this shit and cook it in an oven to make it super cash, but it will also lengthen the amount of time the food isn't being put into your face. your call, hombre.

Congrats. you've fed yourself- just like a real boy.

Heres the link to the work in progress CookBook: https://docs.google.com/document/d/...mugrziq6CU/edit

Keep in mind its a WIP and so far I have only done the Drinks and Appetizers (I took the liberty of adding a few myself)

I'll add the rest throughout the day, and whenever a new recipe pops up here.

Also, feel free to comment.

I think its good enough to publish

The measurements for my recipes should remain as vague as possible. "Whatever amount", "some"or "a lot" are good. If that's not possible, constantly switch from imperial to metric within the same recipe. Give no cooktimes, temperatures or serving sizes, and don't tell them all the materials they'll need. Make 'em think on their feet, man. Cooking is life.

How the burrito recipe look? I couldve used Scoville Heat Units too but I couldn't find a fitting place to place them that wasnt already filled with some other wacky measurement (which believe it or not, do actually exist)

Sorry about the.... Triple Post

But the recipe book is up to date other than Pare's brocolli stew thing recipe, which I'm figuring out how to list.

Also there is now a table of contents.

Thanks for your recipes, guys! We're thinking of compiling them all together into a self-published cookbook (click here to see the one I did for my sister's wedding) and selling it to raise money for this site! So if you've got any good recipes, please don't hesitate to post them here or PM me them if you want them more anonymous!

OK I'll chip in with a favorite vegetarian recipe using Quorn mince (I love Quorn, I swear by it! Substitute any meat dish with Quorn and it's an instant more healthy vegetarian meal).

Yummy cottage pie

Pop some peeled chopped potatoes in a pan (try about 4 or 5 large ones or if your lazy use some smash!) to boil and while they're cooking heat up a good splash of oil in a good sized frying pan.
Take 1 large carrot chopped into small peices and throw it in the pan (with onion too if you wish), fry it on a low heat until softish. Add in a bag of 300g Quorn mince along with some frozen peas.
Use half a pint of boiled water for a vegetable stock cube and pour it all in. Then you'll want to add about 2 tblsp of HP brown sauce and a good splash of soy sauce.
Keep it simmering with a lid while you drain and mash that cooked potato! (unless your going for the smash option so mix that ready now you lazy bum ). Add your splash of milk, knob of butter and touch of pepper to mash and grate in a bit of cheese (about a handfull).
Leave your mash for a sec to pre heat your oven on about 200/gas 6.
Grab some yummy Bisto Favourite Granules and add to your mince till it's thick enough for you.
Hob rings off and put your mince in a good sized oven proof dish.
Top with the mash and use a fork to spread it out on top adding a sprinkle of cheese on top for extra golden crispness.
Leave in oven for 20 - 30 min's untill you get that golden bubbliness
For an added twist use some baked beans before you add the mash on top. Sounds strange but kids love it with beans

Hope someone gets use out of that. Not sure how British all of that is though but hopfully you know what I'm talking about!

Can't decide if I'm indecisive
