crack an egg over pan....non stick type...flip when one side is done and continue doing until you have enough fried eggs for your family
my speciality: Leek %26amp; Bacon pasta.
cook chopped 2 leeks in a pot with 1/2 pint of veg stock until soft. Meanwhile fry off bite size pieces of bacon to your liking. When cooked, mix it with the leeks and a pot of creme fraiche (warm it up together). And serve with cooked pasta. Sprinkle cheese on top.
Bon apetit!

Pasta salad.You can use chicken or tuna.It tastes great I'm 14 and i made it before,so it should be easy enough for you to make.U will need a box of pasta,(the type is your coice),an 8 oz can of tuna or 4 boneless skinless chicken breast cooked and diced,onions bell peppers,french dressing.
Place the pasta onto boil.
Cut up the onions,and bell pepperspour into a bowl seperate from your mixing bowl.Mix with tuna/chicken and french dressing.
When the pasta is done,drain it and pour it into your mixing bowl then place it in the fridge.Let it cool for about 30mins.Then you mix all that together very thoroughly.
Since the pasta has to coll the i suggest you start this about an hour or 2 before you serve it.
Vote me for best answer.

Yes I have a very delicious Chicken casserole recipe I will send you. It is not expensive to make and is really simple. I created the dish myself and now when we have family get togethers everyone calls to make sure I am making this. Watch your e-mail!!!
mr food's easy cooking
Sorry I misspelled it's: http://www.kraftfoods.com Ilove this site.
I am a terrible cook, but one thing I can make is tuna casserole. Boil a pound of egg noodles. Mix in 2 small cans of tuna, drained; about a quarter of a Velveeta cheese log (cut or crumble into little squares), can of cream of celery soup and a can of milk. Crumble potato chips on top and put in 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. The whole process takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and it tastes great. It will easily feed a family of four with left overs. Albeit not the healthiest, but it tastes great. You can substitute the tuna for canned chicken or sometimes I take left over turkey at Thanksgiving time and make it.
beans on toast simple, but always nice. no matter what.
Get some chicken breast about 4. Heat up a large skillet in medium heat setting. Add a tablespoon of butter. Throw in the chicken turn twice or until done. Get a jar of cream of chicken made from Cambell's soup. Add that in the skillet Meanwhile, in another pot throw in 2 cups of long rice and 4 cups of water add a little salt put it on high heat until it starts boiling, then, turn it down to simmer, that means the lowest temperature, and cover it up with the lid. It will take about 15 minutes to finish cooking. Then, check on your chicken and if the sauce is boiling turn it off, its ready, when you sit down to eat this it will be delicious. You can also add a side like boiled broccoli or steamed broccoli.
Depends on what sort of food your family like.
Chinese: Fry some garlic, ginger ad chilli all cut up very fine, add some mushrooms, about six french beans, spring onions,one carrot, a little cabbage or chinese cabbage some cooked chicken pieces (or prawns or fish sticks) add Straight to the Wok noodles . Add soy sauce and if you have hot and sweet chilli sauce that too. to give it extra taste add a little agnimoto (chinese salt) or add a vegetable Oxo cube.
2.Green Capiscums, one large onion, two tomatoes, mushrooms green chilli deseeded and fry in a little oil till soft.

3. Grate boiled potatoes, add coriander leaves, garlic, ginger and spring onions...Mix together and shallow fry till golden brown and add cheddar cheese till it melts....Nice with fried egg mushrooms and tomato
3. Spaghetti.....neapolitian.....Fry some onions and garlic, add a tin of tomatoes and some puree to thicken it. Add some frozen peas and cook till oil comes to the surface. When serving add gratged cheese on top.
4.Indian. Fry some onions, garlic and ginger and add to freshly cooked rice with some jerra (cumin) seed. Make fried potatoes cut in chunks fried in garlic and add some chilli flakes, cumin (jeera powder) when the potatoes are cooked add fresh coriader.Make Yellow Moong Dahl.....Boil the dahl (it doesnt need soaking) till it looks like a thick soup. You can whisk it to hurry it up a bit when it softens....add fried onions, garlic, fresh deseeded chilli and fresh coriader. Have fresh yoghurt with chopped cucumber and a little mint sauce mixed together.
These are the simpliest meals I can think of.

This is an awesome recipe I usually serve with mashed garlic red potatoes. If you have a slow cooker it's easy to make (just requires a little tweaking, a touch less water, but I tend to double up on the soup amount anyway for more gravy).
