This recipe was recently in Oprah Magazine, and this other person posted it only here: http://foodnotebook.blogspot.com/2008/01鈥?/a>





It's for a bolognese sauce. It needs to simmer for like four hours, but it's easy and was featured in an article about romantic cooking.





My advice is not just to be limited to recipes. Cooking with a skillet is very open to experiment, so I suggest just cooking up some chicken or ground beef (or vegetarian alternatives like chick peas or beans) in olive oil (or canola, if you want a less fattening oil), trying out some different spices and sauces, adding some chopped veggies and putting it all over some pasta or rice (or put it in a wrap). You'll get some crap, but you'll probably invent some favourites too.
I have a good one for breakfast. Ed's shred


A potato coarsley grated and soaked in water to get some of the starch off.


Coarsley grate 1 zuke


finley chop a small bundle of fresh chives


1 tsp of crushed red pepper-like the kind with a pizza(optional)


1 clove of garlic minced


some leftover or sandwich ham julienned.


mix everything together in a bowl (after a good drain of the potato)


Make into pattys of individual serving size and fry in olive oil


serve with a dollop of sour cream and sliced avocado on top.





this basic recipe can be modified with whatever you have lying around-experiment.
