Wow. Seeing all these recipies makes me feel like such a noob. Yeah, I like to make omelette sandwiches for breakfast. However, I still have yet to master the art of folding them to make a half-circle. Then again, seeing as how I put them in sandwiches, it really doesn't matter.
3 eggs
2 tablespoons of water
1 slice of cooked ham
1 slice of cheddar cheese
and 2 english muffins (Whole wheat. White bread sucks) for the bread
It's the best breakfast that I can eat without paying a visit to Denny's. I also have this small pot that I use almost every day to cook oatmeal, canned pasta, corn, or rice.
EDIT: I feel ashamed of myself now that I am reminded of the fact that I don't even know how to cook my own namesake.
I can cook Pizza from a box...
I'm really good at making unhealthy foods,
Whether it is cake, cookies, doughnuts, or other fried foods; I seem to have a knack for it
Man, I used to make the best pizza. Made the base myself. It think it was something like this:
1 kg plain flour
500 ml water
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 sachets of yeast
200g semi-sundried tomatoes
Meats/vegetables/other topping of choice (I usually use salami, fresh mushrooms, tomatoes, green capsicum, olives and sautéed onion)
Mozzarella cheese
You put the all the dry ingredients in a volcano shape, pour some water in the middle, combine it and slowly keep going until all the ingredients are mixed used, then I roll it out on the bench for a few minutes. Then put most of the tomatoes in a blender, blend, and spread out on the base as sauce.
Then chop up all your toppings and spread evenly before covering with cheese. Put in the oven until the cheese is very melted and serve.
Notes:
- Might not be such a good idea to try this. It's been so long since I've made it, and I'm working off memory.
- This thing is big. Really big. Serves 8 people with leftovers easy.
- As such, build it on the tray, otherwise it's a ***** to get unstuck from the bench and onto a tray.
- Make the base thin, otherwise you'll be eating lukewarm dough.
Frying chicken breasts is for chumps. What you do is get one of those little broiler plates - there's a collecting plate on the bottom and you put a little grill-type thing above it; it's smaller than a 8.5x11 sheet of paper - and rub half a clove of garlic all over you chicken breast, adding the seasoning of your choice (for me that is table pepper because I am poor as shit). Put it on the plate, broil it in the oven for 8-10 minutes, and flip it over and broil it until both sides are the same color. Just as juicy, just as delicious, and much healthier.
I'm a cook by trade, but I rarely cook at home for a few reasons:
1) Cooks don't get paid much and "instant" food is quite affordable.
2) I live by myself so in order to make something I'd have a lot of leftover perishable ingredients. Whatever I decide to make is what I have to eat all week.
3) I don't have much of an appetite (But I drink about 4L a day. Mostly chocolate milk.)
4) I left most of my cookware behind when I moved, so I only have a small pot, a pan, and a small baking sheet.
5) I eat dinner at work.
So aside from my days off (usually sandwich/take-out/junk food) I consume only a bowl of Cereal daily.

Easily my favorite recipe from home of all time. NOTE: NOT LOW-FAT
I can cook in a vauge sort of fashion. I can do chicken stir fry (use dry white wine, gives it the best flavor), pastsas tho mostly either spaghetti (or if I feel adventurous lasagna).
My fav is PB&J tho, nd I can never seem to mave it as good as my pappa does. It just tastes better when he makes it.
Xitel, you're killing me with that Carbonara recipe. It's my all-time favourite pasta sauce, bar none. I'd leave the veggies personally, but that's just me, I like more of a "pure" carbonara taste.
I did a fantastic dish last night - spaghetti and meatballs, with a tomato and mascarpone sauce. The mascarpone added a new twist on a classic dish, it was really good even if I say so myself.
I love to cook, and if my boyfriend is any kind of gauge, I'm not too shabby. I'm a sucker for any kind of pasta, and chicken alfredo and pasta carbonara are my two favorites to whip up because it requires almost no effort and it's sooo good.
My boyfriend makes some mean breakfast burritos, though. Never had a breakfast burrito? You need to. Now.
EDIT: Ah, nuts! I saw Xitel's carbonara recipe after I posted so I have to add my own...

We do things mostly similar except there are no veggies in mine and I cook the egg mixture before adding it...
1 package bacon
1 pound fettuccine
Parmesan cheese (I don't know how much to use because I never, ever measure it)
6 egg yolks
1 pint half-and-half
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Slice up bacon into manageable pieces (an inch or so) and fry over medium heat until all golden brown and delicious. Set aside. Set a pot of water to boil and once it's there, toss in a handful of salt and then stir in the fettuccine. Keep it moving for the first minute or so to prevent sticking.
Meanwhile, seperate your eggs and combine the yolks with approx. 1/2 cup to 1 cup of Parmesan cheese (I told you, I never measure, but 1/2 cup sounds right), and the half-and-half, whisking quickly. Pour the egg mixture into a saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk CONSTANTLY to prevent curdling. It's done when it's thick and runs off a spoon.
Once the pasta is done (8-10 minutes or however long your instructions say), drain, return to the cooking pot, add the drained bacon, and the now thickened sauce. Stir together, and add more cheese if you so desire. Then, enjoy.
I promise you, this is one of those meals you sit in on a cold night and feel better about the world after eating.
