Ok i read somewhere that Duke and others don't eat right and people always put up different things to eat like lean beef, chicken breast, pasta, so on and so forth, but nobody ever tells how to cook it. We should start like a TML style cook book to help people out. Simple meals that you don't have to be Martha Stewart to do it. The way I cook I cook alot at once because i dont want to cook everyday. I make enough to last me just about every 3 days so i only have to cook 2 maybe 3 times a week. I'm not a professional chef so i wont give totally proper mesurements when it comes to seasoning so just try any amout its trail and error type of thing until you get the combo you like. I will start
THIS MEAL CAN BE EATEN WITH TOSTITOS AND TASTE GREAT. IT ALSO HAS ALL THE VEGGIES, PROTIEN, AND CARBS THAT YOU WILL NEED IT WILL BE ENOUGH TO LAST 2 FULL DAYS OF DINNER AND LUNCH ADD MORE RICE AND BEEF AND YOU CAN HAVE MORE
TOTAL TIME TAKEN ABOUT 25 MIN
Main Ingredents Fyi this Whole Meal cost less than $10
1 CAN TOMATO PASTE
1 LB GROUND BEEF
White Rice
Spanish Rice
Bag of Frozen mixed Veggies (better to use fresh veggies but im lazy)
Spices Needed
chilli powder, season all, cayenne pepper, paprika, ground cinnamon, sugar, hot sauce
Step 1. USE THE CAN OF TOMATO AND LET IT SIMMER OVER A MEDIUM FLAME (FILL THE CAN THAT IT CAME OUT OF AND FILL IT 3/4 WITH WATER)
STEP 2. MIX ALL THE SPICES IN WITH THE TOMATO PASTE AND STIR. USE VERY LITTLE HOT SAUCE AND CINNAMON. THE ONES TO USE THE MOST OF ARE CAYENNE AND SUGAR FOR THE GOOD BALANCE OF SPICY AND SWEET
STEP 3. I USE THE QUICK RICE THAT YOU PUT IN THE MICROWAVE THAT COMES IN A STEAM BAG SO I DO THE WHITE RICE THEN THE SPANISH RICE. THEY ARE IN THE FROZEN FOOD SECTION.
STEP 4. PUT BOTH TYPES OF RICE IN A POT
STEP 5. I USE THE VEGGIES YOU JUST PUT IN THE MIRCOWAVE AND LET THEM STEAM IN THE BAG, THEN OUT IT IN THE POT WITH THE RICE
STEP 6. BROWN THE BEEF SEASON WITH THE SPICES USE THEM ALL EXCEPT CINAMON, SUGAR, AND HOT SAUCE
STEP 7. ONCE THE MEAT HAS BEEN BROWNED PUT IT IN WITH THE RICE AND VEGGIES
STEP 8. BY NOW THE PASTE SHOULD HAVE THINNED UP ALITTLE YOU DON'T WANT IT TO THIN SO I SHOULD STILL BE KIND OF THICK AND HOT.
STEP 9. PUT IT IN THE POT WITH ALL THE OTHER INGREDIENTS AND STIR
STEP 10. LET THE POT SIMMER A LITTLE SO THE FOOD WILL STAY HOT AND BLEND IN TOGETHER A LITTLE BIT. THEN EAT
U CAN EAT THIS DISH ALONE OR ON TOP OF CHIPS LIKE I SAD EARLIER IT WILL FILL YOU UP ALSO
ON A SIDE NOTE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T EAT BREAKFAST HERE IS WHAT I DID WHEN STARTED PUTTING ON WEIGHT AND IT HELPED ME OUT ALOT. I NEVER USED TO EAT BREAKFAST BECAUSE OF TIME BUT NOW IT TAKES ME 2 MIN TO MAKE MY BREAKFAST
(NOTE I BOIL MY EGGS LIKE 8 AT A TIME SO I DONT HAVE TO COOK THEM EVERY MORNING I BOIL THEM WHILE WATCHING TV OR JUST CHILLING AT NIGHT DURING MY DOWN TIME. )
2 BOILED EGGS (1 OF THEM I THROW THE YOLK OUT AND JUST EAT THE WHITE)
2 PACKETS APPLE CINAMON OATMEAL
FRUIT CUP
CRANBERRY JUICE
IF YOU NOTICE THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO COOK IS OATMEAL WHICH TAKES NO TIME I CAN COOK THAT UP PUT IT IN A CONTAINER AND EAT BREAKFAST IN THE CAR SO I WONT HAVE TO WASTE TIME IF IM IN A RUSH.
HOPE THIS HELPS PEOPLE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE OTHERS IDEAS.

ok simple ass recipe but it turns out to be a real nice meal to grub on and its got some nourishment
all you need
mac and cheese
milk
tuna
butter
salt
frozen peas, corn, carrots, etc (optional)
anyways boil the macaroni up in a pot, drain the macaroni, melt a nice piece of butter in the pot, throw in the mac with the cheese sauce mix the milk and then throw in a can of tuna and if you got some of the veggies put them in too it really puts the meal over the top. simple as **** but it makes a much better deal than just macandcheese.

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
14 tablespoons granulated sugar substitute with aspartame (such as Equal Spoonful)

Seared Tuna
4 medium , Tuna Steaks
1 large , Lime Zest and Juice
2 teaspoon(s) , Thyme Leaves
1/2 teaspoon(s) , Pepper
1/4 teaspoon(s) , Salt
1/2 cup(s) , Olive Oil
Rinse the tuna steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Grate the zest from the lime (you should have about 1 1/2 teaspoons), then squeeze the juice and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine lime zest, thyme, pepper and salt; stir to mix. Lightly rub both sides of the tuna steaks with olive oil. Rub the seasoning mix on the tuna steaks; coating them well.
Using a heavy bottomed sauté pan or a cast-iron pan, warm the olive oil. Increase the heat to high and place the tuna in the pan. Sear for 1 minute, then turn over carefully, reducing the heat to medium. Sear the other side for 1 more minute until medium rare. (Do not overcook the tuna or the meat will become dry and lose its flavor.) Pour the lime juice over the tuna steaks right after you take them from the stove, then serve.
