I need to start cooking more as I buy too much ready to eat food during the week. Also my girlfriend loves to cook and well she's not impressed by my lack of ability.
When I do cook, it's mostly breaded chicken simply cooked in oven, or salmon on the George Foreman, rice, pasta, sauce, fried eggs, tomatoes, tuna, frozen things such as (sweet)potato wedges and vegetables when I remember.
Not all together! But when I do cook food at home 90% of the time its some sort of combination of the above foods. Rest of time I buy already made!
Yes I am being very lazy/making excuses such as 'not enough time to prepare'. It's time to fix up. No more excuses.
I have had a look on youtube for cooking videos. I tried one for Chicken Penne Arrabiata, used things such as basil and thyme, salt and pepper, for the first time ever in my life. It didn't turn out the best to be honest... the one I buy that's ready made tastes better.. guess it was just a first time though.
Anyone have ideas or maybe links to recipes/videos of simple things I can try to make to start off with? Things I like are chicken breast, mince beef, salmon, pasta, rice, anything with tomato in it.
I could off course just search online and find other stuff and try but I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. Needs to be easy and fairly quick to make, nutritious, if it can last a few days so I can take it to work would be a bonus.
Thanks.
