Just post pics of all of it, and you'll be motivated to improve!

I, on the other hand, have since shied away from cooking. Thank God for Campbell's and sandwiches.

Tried to make bacon the other day; didn't know you're supposed to drain the grease off the pieces before you eat them. I got pretty sick.

no money in cooking everyone's solid. in b4 ban.

This made me gag pretty hard, no breakfast for me today.

I'm really sorry. Won't do again.

I thinking of taken my stash of frozen bananas out to thaw. The questions is, what should I make - banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, banana chocolate chip bread, or banana cake?

They are all pretty damn tasty, ldo. Any votes? Pics and recipe will follow whichever I make.

I vote for Banana Chocolate Chip Bread - mmmmmmmm

This is my first attempt at baking since I did home economics in school (other than the odd set of cookies etc). It's a bread and butter pudding following this recipe

I'd give it about a C+

There's always money in the banana stand

Banana cake ftw

*snorts*

Traditional English food itt! Next time I have a lot of leftover bread I might make this. Any changes you would make to the recipe if you were going to make it again? Also I had no idea the BBC had recipes on their site, ty for sharing.

love me some bread pudding, pics when you make it again please.

Growing pretty fond of Rupert...first Koopa now bread pudding??!!
yikes!!!

Pork pot pie (sorry for my crappy camera phone):

Will you marry me?

2 proposals in one thread? I'm on a proposal heater!

Yes to both obv.

Was hoping my mum would see my tweet and give me a big list of improvements but she must have missed it. So no tips unfortunately Anyone know a good website with quickish meals? My main issues with cooking is that I don't know how, it takes too long and I never know what to do with leftover ingredients

I know how to cook but my issue is cooking for one person is very exhausting. I always end up with leftovers and I don't eat them because sometimes I only see my apartment for only a few hours. I gave up and eat out everyday, maybe you could try that instead?

Awesome now all we have to do is find some empty space in polygamous compound and itll be on.

Please post the leftovers you have and we'll try to help you come up with a tasty new dish! Fwiw, the pot pie I made yesterday was actually mostly from leftovers.

I had:
-Braised pork w/ the liquid & veggies it was cooked with: (white wine, carrots, onions, herbs, potatoes, stock)
-Chicken liver mousse
-Pea soup

I made:
-Whole wheat pate brisee for the crust and decorations.

I diced the pork, sauteed and added flour (to thicken all of the liquid which I deglazed with). Then I reduced on the stove while I made the crust and blind-baked it. I mixed some of the chunky pea soup into filling and then also put some on top to add some color variation.

IMO, you can make some of the yummiest dishes ever with leftovers because it is just another opportunity to build layers of favor.

This thread is making me want to start a cooking blog.

meant to take a pic of this when it got out of the oven, but only remembered when there were three brownies left. also forgot to take pics of my latest batch of chocolate chip cookies. blondies will probably come later this week and i'll try to remember to post a photo. behold cheesecake brownies.

They look delish. That means a lot coming from me cause I hate cheesecake

i'm currently in love w/ this website. the crispy/chewy choco chip cookies are AMAZING. prob gonna make the blondies right now so i have snacks for tomorrow, haven't tried them yet. also, the mac n cheese recipe on this site, adapted from martha stewart, is outstanding.

I just got the stuff to make tres leches cake. I've made it a few times before and it's turned out really well, so I'm excited to make it again. I prefer vanilla to chocolate. I desperately need dairy when I eat desserts so this is pretty much the perfect dessert for me.
