When I was little my mom’s meatloaf was my favorite food. But ONLY her meatloaf. I didn’t like anyone else’s, and she told me that she would teach me how to make it when I was older. And when I was like 19? She finally taught me, but she told me never to tell anyone else and I was like weird but okay

Anyway, she was super fucking homophobic and abusive to me when I told her I was gay, so here’s the recipe

4-6 lbs of Hamburger/turkey burger

1 pk onion soup mix OR ranch mix

1 TBs ketchup

1 Tbs spicy brown mustard,

1 Tbs bbq sauce

1 Tbs steak sauce

1 egg

mix, shape into a loaf in a big pan, and bake at 350 for 2 hrs (maybe 2 and a half if you’re feeling dangerous)

You can get almost all of these ingredients at the dollar store, and have leftovers if it’s just you. The leftovers make great tacos if (taco seasoning is also like a dollar). Enjoy your revenge loaf

just came up with a really good 4 word cooking horror story but idk if you guys are ready for it

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

versatile tomato pasta sauce!

it has recently come to my attention that a few of friends just use jar pasta sauce and despite the fact that i can respect using pre-made for some things, my mother has drilled into my head the "evils" of jar pasta sauce.

there's nothing strictly wrong with it. but i'd rather not.

here's a fairly easy recipe so you don't have to either!

[image ID: a white bowl containing the pasta made with this recipe. the penne pasta is mixed in with a red tomato sauce in which onion is visible. a splade sticks out of the bowl.]

ingredients:

1 onion, roughly diced

1 capsicum/bell pepper, roughly diced

1 red chilli (optional, for low spice), finely chopped

1 cloves garlic, minced

1 can of chopped tomatoes OR 3 tomatoes, chopped

700ml of passata

sambal oeleck/chilli paste (optional, mild spice) to taste

1/3 cup port (optional)

salt and pepper

pasta, of your choice (penne! choose penne!)

method:

in a large pan on medium heat, heat oil or butter

add onion and garlic and cook, stirring

after a few minutes add the chilli and capsicum

cook until the onion is softening, then add port

boil the port down for a few minutes

add the tomatoes, passata, and chilli paste

season with salt pepper to your preference

bring to a simmer, then cook for about 20 minutes

meanwhile, cook your pasta

when the pasta is done, serve with the sauce

serves 4

and that's it! okay, intrepid eyes will have noticed that this recipe uses passata despite trying to avoid jar pasta sauce. passata doesn't count as pasta sauce, its basically just glorified tomato paste. i suppose if you wanted to you could use a good tomato sauce in its place. its just there to bulk out the sauce.

on the subject of chilli- i recommend both chilli paste and chilli. in the amount that i use (1 chilli and and probably not more than a tablespoon of sambal oeleck) it is only sometimes too spicy for my White father. if you like heat, try cooking the dish with chilli oil, adding a chilli hotter than a red chilli or a strong chilli paste. the aim of the dish when i make it isn't to make it spicy but when you make it its your dish! go wild!

easiest asian mug soup

i've been trying to catch up with one of my friends for a month or so now, but every time something happens the day before and we have to cancel. we're trying again tomorrow, third time lucky!

this recipe is very much a small snack or savoury warm drink but i think it tastes good! (disclaimer: this recipe is entirely made up and no one but me has tried it.)

ingredients:

a good shake (approx 3/4 tbsp) of stock power (i use chicken)

two dollops (approx 1 tsp) of oyster sauce

at least a tablespoon of soy sauce

a small shake (1/2 tsp) of ginger powder OR a pinch of dried ginger

a shake (3/4 tsp) of garlic powder OR a 1/3 of a clove of minced garlic

nice tasting oil, to preference (1/2 tsp or so)

method:

put the kettle on to boil, or whatever method you use to boil water

get yourself a decent sized mug

add all the ingredients to the mug in no particular order

add boiling water to fill, or until colour is satisfactory

stir and sit until cooled slightly

done!

feel free to add on anything you think would also go well in this! it's very much an improvised recipe and i am always looking for suggestions.

chia pudding

this is a really good low-spoon/time poor recipe! i generally throw it together on a sunday night and then eat it as a snack on monday and tuesday. i really wouldn't recommend eating it after it's 2-3 days old but hey, your choice! (seriously, don't eat it after three days it tastes gross). it's also suuuper filling, i love having it as a study snack!

note that all measurements are in the australian convention! you can convert those to american here: https://recipeland.com/how-to/australian-cooking-measurements-142

ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of milk (the recipe calls for almond milk but use whatever you want)

1 1/2 cups of greek yoghurt (easily substituted for coconut yoghurt or other vegan alternatives)

3 tbsp of cacao powder (can also use hot chocolate powder if you're out of cacao)

1/4 cup maple syrup (if you want something that's actually sweet i'd add and extra two tbsp)

1/3 cup chia seeds

1 tsp vanilla paste or extract

topping suggestions:

coconut flakes or desiccated coconut

berries (raspberries or strawberries taste best, but use whatever)

method:

combine all ingredients (except toppings) in a large tub or container, leaving room for around 50% expansion and leave in the fridge overnight (or 7+ hours)

make sure that you mix the chia seeds through the liquid well, or they won't evenly absorb moisture and the texture will be a bit funky

you can tell that the pudding is ready for chomping when the chia seeds go a little transparent and squishy - like mini boba pearls!
