FANCY MEAL

If you have a special day coming up, then I suggest this meal! It is definitely one of my favorites :-)
This may cost a bit over our "college budget" but it's totally worth it! The meal is NICE....JUICY....STEAK!!!
First you'll go to your local store and pick out the kind of steak that you like. I picked Sirloin. Now the rest is easy! I added, salt, pepper, and garlic, pretty simple, right? Now, cook it! I cooked it on a pan on the stove, but you can also cook it on the BBQ pit, but that's all up to you. Now cook for at least 5 mins. I enjoy my steak medium. You can add mushrooms if you like, or anything else that you crave! Here is my masterpiece....

Hope yours comes out just as delicious! :)

Tostadas!

This is a simple meal that anyone will be able to do, especially college students! (I would know)
I'm sure you've heard about it, it's Tostadas! A delicious Mexican entree.

The Ingredients 

First you are going to fry the corn tortillas on oil in a pan. Make sure they are crispy! Also, the next ingredient is refried beans, so make sure they are smashed and ready to go. Spread beans on the tortilla and add your favorite toppings. I enjoy tomato, lettuce, and cheese. To add more flavor, you can add chile! Of course, it is too spicy for me...

Mexican Style

I'm sure some of you have tasted Conchita soup from a bag, but this is even better, because it is homemade! This is what you'll need to complete the recipe.

The Ingredients

So first, you're going to have to golden the conchita shells on oil. While that is going on, you can peel and slice the potatoes. Also, you have to cut the beef into cubes. Make sure to add onion and green bell pepper. Now you can also add the spices that are shown above. It's important to add 6 cups of water and then mix ingredients together. Cook on medium for 25 mins. You should get a nice warm meal for the whole family to enjoy!

MORE LEFTOVERS

So it is about 3 weeks after Thanksgiving and I'm sure there are more people (like me) who have turkey leftovers. IT'S NEVER ENDING TURKEY. Well, I have another solution for you all, so you wont keep tasting the same old boring turkey. My solution for you is to make a Turkey Pot Pie, my how country! Am I right?

The Ingredients 

First of all, it is important that you shred the turkey and once that is done, you're going to mix the shredded turkey and the mixed vegetables (that can be bought in the frozen aisle). Also you're going to add the cream of mushroom and then mix everything together. Once that is done, you can add biscuits and place them on top of the turkey pot pie. Now you can add your creation into the oven at 375 degrees and cook for 25 mins. This should be the result!

Enjoy your meal! :-)

Turkey Leftovers? Don't worry, I have a recipe for that!

So if you're like my family, you're going to have turkey leftovers for Thanksgiving and some get tired of the same old turkey (me). Here is how you can spice it up a bit. If you're Hispanic, then this recipe should look familiar, if you're not, no worries, you'll enjoy it! The meal is Flautas!

The Ingredients

 It consists of turkey (or meat of your choice), corn tortillas, oil, and toothpicks (don't eat).
First you're going to shred the turkey, then fry corn tortilla on oil for a bit. Once that is done, you're going to put turkey on the tortillas, roll them up and secure with a toothpick. After that, you are ready to deep fry them! The trick is to not burn them! And there you have it, FLAUTAS!

MAKE SURE TO TAKE OUT TOOTHPICK BEFORE EATING. You can also have sides to dip the Flautas into. I chose sour cream, chile, and avocado. ENJOY your masterpiece :-)

Another Casserole!

I swear this is the last casserole....it's the Green Bean Casserole! My family just really love casseroles for Thanksgiving. This recipe is as simple as the other one!

The Ingredients

It consists of milk, black pepper, cheese, green beans, cream of mushroom, soy sauce, and crispy fried onions. First you're going to pour all the ingredients together and then heat up in the oven at 325 degrees for for 20 minutes. After it is done heating up, you will sprinkle some more crispy fried onions on top. IT'S THAT SIMPLE. Here is the finished product!

Rice and Broccoli Casserole

Another side that I made for Thanksgiving was Rice and Broccoli Casserole, which is another simple recipe. ARE YOU READY?!
For the ingredients you will need rice, broccoli, cream of mushroom, and cheese.
First of all you'll need to boil the rice for about 10 minutes, and then steam broccoli for 20 minutes. Once that is done, it is time to pour the cream of mushroom, broccoli, and cheese into hot rice, then mix them together. Put it in the oven for 15 minutes at 325 degrees. Once it is done heating up, you can also add more cheese on top, if you like. Your dish should look something like this.

Simple, yet very tasty! I've learned that there are easy meals to make, especially if you don't know anything about cooking. Good Luck with your rice and broccoli casserole! :-)
