I am a simple cook. Protein, veggies, starch.
Marinate a chicken breast for a day, grill it up until juice is clear and meat is white all the way through. Boiled broccoli or cauliflower and rice/potato. Total cook time 10 minutes.
Hamburgers. Extra lean meat (not for health reasons, it just tastes better). Not rocket science but adding the right amount of garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs etc is an art. Takes less than 20 minutes. Put cheese on it right off the grill and perhaps bacon, sweet sweet bacon.
Pork Chops. Marinate. Slice apples and onions, add cumin then simmer. Under 20 minutes.
Diced Chicken, Rice, Spinach, redpeppers with some soya.
Roasts are easy enough if you have a crockpot. Turn it on and goto work come back and voila. Throw the potatoes and the carrots in with it if you want. Use grease to make your gravy.
Steaks require a barbecue (which I don't have ). Marinate em for a day. Cooking is easy. When the blood starts to seep up and become visible on top of steak flip it. When it does the same with the other side take it off the heat. You have a medium rare steak. Baked potato or just cheapy sidekick mashed potatoes.
Not a seafood fan other than walleye. Which you just bread using cornflake crumbs, flour and eggwash. Fry in crisco. Lobster you cut down the centre and pull the meat out of the shell, boil until meant is white all the way through.
Club sandwiches using chicken breasts, rye and bacon, perhap mozza cheese melted on.
