A Man's Guide to Quick Eats

[ALTRNTV]

I got hungry tonight and thought of making myself something. I had nothing in the fridge, except leftovers. I didn't feel like eating that. I saw some bread, so I grabbed some butter and peanut butter and slapped them on (not on the same piece of bread). I saw that I had spaghetti sauce and noodles, but I got too lazy to make me some spaghetti, so the bread will do. Also, a bottle of Propel.

Woot. :bigok:
You can see Zilvia in the background!

Post some of your "quick eats," so some of us will get ideas when we're hungry in the middle of the night, and are too lazy to cook something up, or go out to a 24hr fast food joint.

I'll be making my spaghetti that everyone that tastes it seems to like, later today. I'll make a write-up and add it to this thread, lol. :w00t:

[SilviaNinja240]

an apple or banana, or various fruits and veggies are good

[theicecreamdan]

I usually don't have time to eat at home, most of this week I wake up literally 10 minutes before I need to be at work, I find the lightswitch, put clothes on and leave.

when I do eat, its usually my roommate's cookies.

[TheSquidd]

Make up some top ramen, throw in some steak, you got yourself some delicious. If that's too much work, when you're cooking the ramen, throw an egg up in that bizzy and it will make the ramen thicker, fill u up.

Straight up steak with onions chopped up, steaks take like 8 minutes to cook on a stovetop, buy some kind of steak seasoning or just mash that shit with pepper and garlic.

Those baskets with crackers and salami and cheese, good snack.

Keep em coming I'm a terrible cook.

[OptionZero]

dude, an 8minute steak ain't a steak worth eatin!

Lunch everyday:

Hot/Lean Pocket
Odwalla bar
Banana/fruit
jug of Odwalla Superfood
water

[exitspeed]

Ramen but don't drain the water after noodles are cooked. Add butter, lil olive oil, garlic salt, and crushed red peppers. Combo that up with a Nice cold one and that's a quick easy meal.

[MELLO*SOS]

Quesadilla FTW... Put two flour tortillas in the frying pan and let them both heat up until they are hot. Flip em over a few times until they start to bubble. Now put some slices of pepperjack cheese between them, with some tapatio or something else (chopped cilantro is the shit, but I doubt you have any either). Flip the assembly over a couple times to ensure proper meltage of the cheese. Now put on a plate with some ranch dressing and wash it all down with either gatorade or whatever kind of beer you have in the fridge. Excellent nutritional value, I'm sure; but w/e one of my favorite things to eat when I get home....

[Romeyo07]

smuckers makes pre-made pb-j and grilled cheese. Freakin sweet

[-usmd-180sx]

Get a bag of salad, slice up some tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, chedder cheese, olives, hard boiled eggs, and oven baked chicken nuggets, and you got yourself a hearty salad. Wash it down with a protein shake. And to top it off, take a Centrum A - Zinc

[ESone3]

KOREAN STYLE!

chop some kimchi/rice/frying pan/meat of your choice/seseme oil/little soysauce.

you'll want to eat that everyday.

[Romeyo07]

that sounds good...

[TheSquidd]

The secret to better top ramen:

Put the powder in when you put the noodles in! They say on the bag to do it at the end, fuck dat! That way the flavor absorbs into the noodles along with the water.


Hah I've made many a delicious steak in 8 minutes. Sure, they're no london broils, but better than eating PB&J.

[OptionZero]

each spec of powder takes off a year of your life

[monkey7]

Put some frozen peas and carrots in a little bowl and microwave for about 45 sec, scramble an egg, throw in little bowl of rice with scramble egg, add the microwave peas and carrots minus the water, puts some soy sauce, maybe a tad of oyster sauce if you like, fry and stir the sucker for a bit

then you got some fried rice

Next to that, frozen corndogs, 4 bucks for a bunch

[aznpoopy]

east meets west
clam chowder ramen

make the ramen noodles without using the soup packet.
warm up the soup in the microwave at the same time.
combine for a delicious mixture.

[m072514]

i like the ramen w/ egg as well as the BOMB korean food ideas.

personally, i get my lazy ass up and go for a drive... for all you socal heads, what chu know about some Los Alanzanes?

[exitspeed]

I can make a perfect Filet Mignon in less then 15 min. That's still reptty quick. I have a 25 year old cast iron skillet that I make them in. Preheat oven to 425 or so. Season steaks with salt, fresh groud pepper, garlic salt, heat skillet to very high put about 2 table spoons of butter in the pan add olive oil. Put steaks in pan, sear steaks 3-4 min on each side, throw whole pan in the oven for about 5 min for medium rare about 7 min for medium. Take out and let rest for 2-3 min. DONE. Resturant quality filet. When I make these they are better then any grilled steak and as good as any $50 steak at a resturant as long as the quality of meat is the same.


Sorry this was a lil more then what we were tallking about...

[ALTRNTV]

Well, here's my spaghetti!

Start off with these ingredients here that you see. Use the leanest ground beef, for bst taste. You can use any spaghetti sauce.

http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/2986/img65046mq.jpg

Break the ground beef into little pieces and boil it. Cut the hotdogs into little pieces. We all know how to cook spaghetti noodles.

http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/1506/img65057ft.jpg

Strain everything. Combine into a large bowl.

http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/8417/img65060rv.jpg

Here's the trick. Put about 2-3 tablespoons of salt into it and mix. That gives it a sort of sweet taste, not the sour taste most spaghetti sauces have. Mix!

http://img345.imageshack.us/img345/7707/img65076bo.jpg

Enjoy. Takes about 10-15 minutes. Try it!

:bigok: :w00t:

Meal in a can:

[nistech]

my quick meal is a tuna mixed with mayo in a pita bread its so good and it doesnt tAke time to make

[-usmd-180sx]

:stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: :stupid: ( talking about Asahi.... not the tuna. LOL)

To all my korean folks out there, can I get some lovin for some Kimchi Jigae? Easy as heck to make too. If i have time, Ill do a write up with pictures too. =)

[DJPimpFlex]

ghetto lasagna. Hella cheep meals (about 4 of them for $10 total cost). Go to safeway and get a thing of motzetellz, a big pack of lasagna noodles and 2 things of pasta sauce. Pre heat oven to 350, Boil noodles, lay flat in rectangleular cooking dish. layer noodles, cheez,noodles, sausce, noodles cheez ect. Bake for awhile. Put parmisian on top if you wish. seriously this will last me for 2 dinners and 2 lunches. hella nicer than spending $9 a day on food at work. and its only like 10 min time before its in the oven.

Ramen w/ egg is great, but you gotta drain ALL the water out then your golden.

Another personal favorite is the chillie cream cheese dip. One can to denisons chillie (ONLY Denisons works well. trust me I've tried) and a block of cream cheese. Its a one 1:1 ration of cream cheese to chillie, so you can up the stakes accordingly. Microwave till you can mix it all together and eat it with fritos scoops, nothing else will do IMO. A friend of mine uses dritos, but they brake hella easy. Thats what I got for now.

[-usmd-180sx]

Another one I will pass on with great pride is the Chilli Mac and Cheese. One of my closest friends taught me and whole bunch of buddies of mine how to make this. He actually made it and treated us to a tastey meal. Get a can of Chilli, any of your desire. Then simply heat up the chilli while you are preping the Mac and Cheese. After each is done, combine both and digg in. You can also use sliced bread to make it less salty.

Dont forget the Hot Sauce.

Thanks buddy for always being a good friend and passing on knowledge.

You're looking at it. :rofl:

jk

[Ricks15]

The fastest thing you can make is tacos- A Mexican's #1 food, all you need is tortillas and put anything from left overs to beef or chicken, and If you got hot sauce, but none of that pussy shit they sell thats like ketchup with some heat, try either tapatio or yucateco now thats a real man's chile sauce.

[SochBAT]

meow.

Seems like everyone's a chef with instant noodles!

Maruchan Shrimp/Chicken CupOfNoodles, strain, keep the water for sipping afterwards, stirfry with hoisin sauce and Sriracha hotsauce.

Throw in some chopped hotdogs, BAM.

F*CK yo couch Emeril!

[AdoriPimp]

Spam, Eggs, and Rice!


Done Deal

[exitspeed]

Dude you cali guys put hot dogs in everything huh?? Nasty! Jk

I consider myself to be a pretty good chef. I make 90% in my house for my fiance and I and their usually pretty involved. But lately that's not been the case cause of my new class schedule and the fact that my kitchen is in the middle of a remodel.

Oh and I have a pear tree in my yard if anyone wants to come pick any...

[Lucivar619]

Steamed jasmine rice (preferrably leftover from the night before), couple of fried eggs, toss it all in a skillet with Maggi sauce, viola.

[S14DB]

Basmati >>> Jasmine

[Andrew Bohan]

You're looking at it. :rofl:

jk


lmao cat got pwned!

but i usually would eat a pb&j or hard boil some eggs.

[Nostradamus]

Raw oysters are a quick eat. Can't say the same for opening them though.

[altitude]

Raw oysters are a quick eat. Can't say the same for opening them though.

Thats more drinking I think, unless you chew them (I dont haha)

I also like the idea of having rice readily available and throwing just about anything available in it, then stir-frying it if time allows. I alway cook more rice/pasta/potatoes than needed so that there are leftovers for quick meals. Cold pasta make great salads with tuna or salmon, mayonaise and sliced olives. Make graet potatoe salads with sour cream and mustard seeds.

If you like baked potatoes (i love all things potatoe) you can cook them real fast in the microwave just punch some holes in them with a fork beforehand, when ready add seasonings and eat with butter and/or sour cream and/or bacon bits.

Have a pint of Guinness to top it off. Or three.

[FRpilot]

dam all this looks good... im hungry

[blu808]

Yum.

Im going to get sushi now.

[Ricks15]

Tacos and burritos;)

[blu808]

hows this for some quick eats.

Going to home depot, getting shit to build a cage, then walking outside. grabbing a redbull, and then you tell the cashier you want a giant polish dog. then you eat it. and leave.

woot.

Same shit with costco.

[Kn1ves]

i HATE jollybee's style spaghetti. HATE. hahahahhaha.

PB&J, yogurt, and pomogranite for those days i don't wanna walk to the dining hall

[ROGER]

i always keep around burrito size whole wheat tortilla's to make quick wraps. usually i keep deli roast beef and chicken around too(sliced thin as possible). just last night i steam said totilla, then add a little ranch, some deli roasted chicken, a little lettuce, swiss cheese, and spinach. stir fried some seasoned squash and meal is done. it should take u 10 minutes to do that including the time it took u to realize u were hungry, lol. good thing is that u can throw anything u want in there and roll it up, doesn't have to be what i did, and it's a switch up from using sandwich bread. i also agree with what was said earlier about keeping rice and pasta around for quick meals. i like rice pilaf and whole grain myself, along with white. for the first two i suggest zatarains. 82 cents a box and puts rice-a-roni to shame. also, i don't know if many of u guys shop at sam's club, costco, or the like, but keeping some frozen roasted chicken breast's and veggies around helps with quick meals that are tasty and actually meant to be consumed by humans, lol. u can grab a lemon pepper chicken breast out of the freezer, put it in the oven to bake, and while your waiting 8-10 min for it, u can warm up the rice and stir fry or steam some veggies as a side. add a beer to wash it down and your done

[S14DB]

Real Pilaf is not a quick cook. Box rice just doesn't compare.

[ROGER]

Real Pilaf is not a quick cook. Box rice just doesn't compare.

of course not, i completely agree. just like easy mac is no match for real macaroni and cheese. but this is a thread about quick eats. time being no issue, box anything doesn't compare to making stuff from scratch. i do think it's a nice alternative to have a quick plate meal as opposed to a sandwich. personally, i get tired of sandwiches "really" easily. part of that is my fault since after work i'm lazy as fudge and sometimes it's all i feel like mustering.
