The cooking/recipes thread!

[jwk94]

Hey guys so i'm just gonna jump right into it. This is a cooking thread, this is here for you guys to share recipes of things that you've made or tried out and enjoyed, it'd be much obliged if you include a picture of the finished product.

So this is my first time eating today, so I had a craving for an omelette, but I was kinda discouraged because my first two omelettes have turned out like ****, sticking to the pan, won't flip over, but still delicious. So i decided to do some research on how to properly make an omelette, i know some of ya'll are thinking this guy needs to look up how to make an omelette? Well, whatever it takes to get that presentation and flavor you're looking for. So i remembered that i'm subscribed to a guy on youtube named Jackatak, and he's mainly a cooking guy, makes easy-hard recipes and sometimes even does blogs and product reviews, so i went and peeped one of his omelette videos [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27BigIWxMMw](click for the video)[/ame]

So as you can see, somebody recommended that you broil the omelette after adding the ingredients, at first i was like that's stupid, but seeing as how nicely his turned out i though why not give it a try, couldn't hurt. So i made my omelette:

Recipe
6 Slices of Ham
1 Square of Cheese
2 Eggs (For added nutrition, use 1 egg and an adequate amount of egg whites instead)
Salt

Quick Note: Normally I add some stir fried rice from the Chinese restaurants, but we haven't gone to a Chinese place in a while.
Get out all of your ingredients, and pre-heat your skillet. Mix the eggs with some salt or whatever you please. Add the egg mixture to the pan, cook till bottom is brownish, then add the ingredients. What i did was put the slives of ham around the egg mixture so it covered it and the egg wasn't visible, then tear apart your cheese and place it over the ham. Turn oven on broil and place pan in oven for 2-3 minutes. Remove pan when the timer goes off, put ham in plate and enjoy! :

Product should look similar to, or better than this. (I realize that I need to work on my presentation, but this turned out a lot better than my previous omelettes, so for now, i'm happy.)



I'll be adding a smoothie recipe later tonight so keep on the lookout for that. :thumbs:

Nice! I am going to have to give this a try. Looking forward to your smoothie recipe.
I'll dig some of mine out to post.

Alright guys, here it is, my smoothie. Honestly though, there's nothing special about this smoothie, i just really like it. Also, all of these ingredients are interchangeable, or you can add more fruits and stuff.

Banana Smoothie
The ingredients I used:

2 bananas
1-2 cups milk
1-2 cups ice
few scoops of yogurt (since we don't have any strawberries, i got strawberry yogurt to kinda give it an added strawberry taste)
1 Blender

Put all of the ingredients into the blender, then oscalate between chop and blend to blend all of the ingredients together and viola! You have your banana smoothie!

An easy way to make a Cheesesteak sub:
Sub Buns(obviously)
A package of Tyson Fully Cooked Steak strips
Cheese(either swiss,provolone or mozzarella-shredded perferably)
Onions,peppers,mushrooms if desired

Assemble sandwich(es),then stick under the broiler on high for no more than 1 or 2 minutes.The cheese will melt fast so don`t cook too long or it will burn.

You can also make a Buffalo Chicken sub using Tyson Fully Cooked Grilled Chicken strips and a cheese of your choice.You add Frank`s Red Hot Sauce(or any hot sauce you prefer)and cook it the exact same way.

Here's one of my omelet respices( That work for once) that is Kamen Rider based

Two-In-One Cheese Omelet


Ingredients

2 Eggs/ 2 cups of those egg batter things you get in cartons
1/2 slice of American Cheese
1/2 slice of Mozzarella Cheese

Cook the eggs for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Place each half slice of the cheeses on each side. Carefully, make one side of the omelet cross over the other until to make a sorta of omelet shape. Place the finished omelet on a clean plate and put ketchup on the omelet in a W.

Here's a quick and pretty healthy lunch idea for anyone interested.

Tuna Salad and Bagel

Ingredients:
1 can tuna fish (albacore is fine, too)
2 tbsp of olive oil mayo
2 heaping tbsp of raisins
1 whole wheat bagel

Toast your bagel in a toaster. Drain the tuna and then mix with raisins and mayo. Spread on toasted bagel. Done! This meal is quick, healthy, and very filling as well. I team this with steamed or boiled veggies.
