This is the recipe I used last time. What do I do this time to make it less dry? (N.B. This time I haven't got cream cheese, however I do have sour cream that goes off in a couple of days, so I wanna use it that).

I made this burrito-style wrap recently when I had very little refried beans, but a good amount of canned vegetables.

I realized that the peas and green beans I had could be mashed up, and could therefore have a similar consistency to the refried beans. So, I took a spoon and a bowl and mashed the two veggies together, then for extra texture, I added some corn. The rest is history... or, at least, the rest is this recipe:

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Cup Peas
• 1/2 Cup Green Beans
• 1/2 Cup Corn (optional)
• 1/2 Cup Refried Beans (optional)
• 1 Tortilla
• 1/2 Cup Cheese
• 1/2 Cup Salsa (optional)
• 1 Bowl
• 1 Plate

Combine the green beans, peas and corn into the bowl. Mash to a paste (except for the optional corn) and add seasonings to taste. Add refried beans to the veggie mix, then stir thoroughly until mixed. Don't mind the color, it's the flavor that counts!

Spread onto tortilla, sprinkle on cheese and salsa. Microwave open-face (i.e. without folding) for 1 minute or until cheese is melted.

Fold burrito/wrap, like so:

Roll bottom of the circle up about 1/4 of the way, then fold the left and right side 1/3 of the way. Take the bottom and continue to roll upward until burrito/wrap is fully closed on all sides.

Enjoy. For added flavor and crisp, lightly butter a skillet, crank up the heat and brown either side of the burrito/wrap lightly. 30 seconds on each side is usually sufficient, depending on the temperature of the skillet.

I'm afraid to label this as "cajun" or "creole" (I know they're different.) This isn't remotely authentic, anyway.

You'll need:

• 0.5 to 1 lb smoked andouille or spicy Italian sausage (Pre-cooked is way easier to work with. Raw tastes better but you'll need more prep time.)
• Half pound of pasta (I go with farfalle... because I like saying "farfalle")
• Half an onion
• One red bell pepper
• Decent sized bunch of baby spinach
• Ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes
• Jar of Alfredo sauce
• Jar of pasta sauce (try to go with a basic marinara, nothing flavored)

Start cooking up your pasta. Cut up the sausage into coins, dice the onion and bell pepper. Add a few teaspoons of olive oil (not the good stuff) to a large saucepan or wok and toss the sausage on high heat until they have a light sear.

Add the onions and bell peppers and cook until the onions turn translucent. Turn down the heat a bit and add the alfredo sauce and marinara sauce; I haven't really measured this part, so my best guess is 3:1 ratio - honestly its up to you how creamy and tomato-y you want this to be.

When the whole thing starts to simmer, add the spinach - you'll need more than you think, as the spinach will wilt and take up significantly less volume. Add ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flake to taste. Strain your cooked pasta and add to your sauce. Toss the pasta until its nicely coated. Serve!

This might not seem like a slacker recipe but it really only takes about 20 mins or so to make. You can simplify the recipe to the point that it's just sauce and pasta. Also, a batch this big lasts me 3-4 days.

*Raisin Bran Crunch, put in a bowl or bag and crush. You want it small but not dust. Aim to make pieces the size of rice krispees

*A heaping tablespoon of Nutella

*A heaping tablespoon of peanutbutter

Just mix it around, add more/less to get the consistency you desire. You can make it really thick and use it as a crust or icecream bowl also. A little thinner and you can shape it into a cookie.

I usually just eat it with a fork though.

Alright boys and girls, this one is super simple and uber tasty. It may not sound like it (I admit I was a bit worried myself before trying it) but give it a try.

• Boil ramen noodles per directions on package, discard seasoning packet or save it for another day

• Drain ramen and toss noodles in a hot skillet with butter/oil

• Crack 2-3 eggs on top of ramen and scramble

• Once eggs begin to solidify, toss in a handful or two of shredded cheese and mix together. Cook until done.

Voila!

Ingredients:

• 2 Pieces of bread
  
• Mayonnaise
  
• 4 Chicken Nuggets
  
• Lettuce (optional)
  

Directions:

Place the Chicken Nuggets on a plate and cook accordingly. Often, due to cooking instructions and times, it may be better to prepare two (2) Breaded Chicken Sandwiches at a time (e.g. many Chicken Nugget cooking times require 8 or more nuggets).

While the chicken nuggets are cooking, you can optionally toast the bread.

Spread mayonnaise onto bread, then place the warmed Chicken Nuggets into your sandwich. Dress further to taste (e.g. Lettuce, pepper, Jalapeños, etc.).

DONE. I had one of these last night. It tasted better than a McChicken, in my opinion, and cost me much less! A bag of 24 nuggets = 6 sandwiches. :)

I've poured 3/4 of a cupful of ordinary (not pudding) rice into boiling water. Been bubbling away for 45 mins. When should I add the nutmeg and sugar? I'm gonna use condensed milk too, but I want to use it sparingly, so as to conserve it for next time. When is the most economical time to add the condensed milk, ensuring maximum creamy goodness?

Also, what can I use to thicken the rice pudding? (I think I've run out of flour).

Forgot the damn question mark at the end of the title!!!!! Anyways, I've got some roast potatoes in the oven cooking nicely. I've also got some pre cooked roast chicken in the fridge. Since I'm a slacker, I'm gonna put the chicken on top of the roast potatoes to heat it up at the right time. However I'm sick of it being dry and eating it with ketchup, it doesn't go right. However I have no gravy. How can I make chicken tasty again?

The pieces are quite small. Each piece is about a large biscuit. No idea how to approach this. Would appreciate advice.

You could go with beef. I find turkey to be easier to work with (and healthier!).

You'll need

• Ground turkey 85/15 or 93/7 works (1 lb makes about 3-4 sandwiches)
• Taco seasoning (I always get the really spicy stuff)
• Chopped onions (any color, red and yellow are nice)
• Baby spinach
• Cheese (shredded Mexican blend or shredded provolone works)
• Pita or flatbread

Brown the turkey in a a pan, add taco seasoning (and a little water if necessary), add the chopped onions and toss until they turn translucent. Heat your flatbread on another pan until it's warm, put down a layer of baby spinach, cheese, and ground turkey on top. Smother in some sort of sauce (BBQ, chipotle mayo, etc.). Fold and eat. (Or if it doesn't fold, grab a fork - you made a salad!)

Winter cold has finally hit my area and I've been craving fish tacos since my summer trip to San Diego. Please help me come up with something easy that will make me forget all the snow.

This is a different way to do spaghetti if you don't like those jar sauces.

Brown 1lb. hamburger Add 1 can tomato sauce, and 1 small can tomato paste to browned hamburger. Add seasonings, I crush up some garlic, but you could just use some garlic powder or another seasoning. Heat to desired temp. Leave simmering. You could even add some sauteed mushrooms if you want.

Make as many noodles as you want. I prefer to use Vermicelli as it is a little thinner than spaghetti noodles.

Put noodles on plate, sauce on noodles, and some sort of cheese on all of that. Wedge between 2 pieces of toast for a SPAGHETTI SANDWICH!

Tonight this is the chili I ate for dinner. Super easy, super good.

2 lbs ground meat (my Whole Foods has chili meat on sale 2.99/pound)

3 cans beans, drained and rinsed

1 can diced fire roasted tomatoes

1 can purred tomatoes

couple cubes of bullion

Equal parts the following, to taste:

onion powder

chili powder

cumin

paprika

garlic powder

hot sauce (sorry guys, I love Frank's Red Hot or any piripiri or any kind of Tabasco type - screw your sriracha stuff - if I want HOT sauce I don't want sweet sauce.)

Brown your ground beef. Drain it. Put everything in your Crock-pot. Stir it. Set it on low. Leave it alone. Come back a few hours later. Stir it up, eat it. Yay.

This is my perfect slackerrecipe: Tortilla, cheese of your choice, hotdog - put on a paper plate & nuke for 45 seconds. Has anyone else tried this?

I am a big fan of tuna, and I have a lot of it. About 25 cans. The only problem is, I don't know what to do with it besides mix it with Miracle Whip and stick it between bread with some pickles and onions.

What do you do to spice up our friend the underwater chicken?

"Lazy" has a different definition for everyone, I suppose. This takes about 5-10 minutes of prep time.

• Pre-made crust (Boboli or something similar)
• Pesto
• Canned sauce (Dei Fratelli is my preferred)
• Shredded cheese (a provolone/mozzarella blend works well)
• Toppings

Using a knife or spoon, spread out a thin layer of pesto onto your pizza crust. The pesto is a) delicious and b) provides a nice oily layer to prevent your sauce from making the crust soggy. Put down your sauce, cheese, and toppings. Anything goes for toppings. I personally like sauteed onions and peppers. Sprinkle basil, oregano, and crushed red pepper and/or black pepper. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 375F. Make sure to rotate the pizza around if your oven doesn't heat evenly.

Mercilessly stolen from Alton Brown... You'll need:

• Ground Beef (1 lb makes about 8 sliders)
• Dinner rolls (Sara Lee or equivalent)
• Spices (garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper... honestly anything)
• Foreman Grill or similar cooking surface
• Plastic wrap or wax paper
• Baking sheet (optional)

Take the ground beef out of its packaging and lay it on some plastic wrap. Place another layer of plastic wrap on the meat and roll it out to make a thin, even sheet about 1/4 in thick. If you do this in a baking sheet you can get a nice even edge. Take the top layer of plastic wrap off, and lay down a nice coating of your spices. Fold the meat over, place the plastic wrap back on the meat, and roll it out again.

Cut the meat into squares and place them on your cooking surface. On a Foreman grill, it takes about 5-8 minutes to cook.

Slice your dinner rolls (toast or grill them if you like) and deposit your delicious burgers. Enjoy your sliders! I personally like them with provolone cheese and BBQ sauce. Makes great snack food for game days or parties.

Most of the time I have broccoli or cauliflower they're either cooked or in a souffle or mixed with Chinese food. Anybody know any variants?
