Baked mac n cheese with Panko breading on top.

As for recipe, I don't cook it but I watch my dad cook. Basically boil the noodles and melt the cheese, pour it all in a glass casserole dish, mix it well to spread all the cheese around and pour a good amount of Panko on top. You can even pit some on the middle for more cronch. Idk how long it goes into the oven for or at what temperature, I'm guessing until the topping gets a light colour. Not a dark colour. If it's baked too long in there the top will get burned and the macaroni itself will get dry and it doesn't taste that great. But it is SO good when it's done right.
 
So, this has been a 'family recipe' for years, not sure if it's Polish or a Jewish cuisine, bc when I researched it online, it gave me those two options LOL.

Anyways, it's cottage-cheese noodles.

1. Sautee onions in a pan with 1-2 sticks of butter.

2. Make noodles

3. Drain noodles

4. Get cottage-cheese

5. Put buttered onions into a bowl big enough for serving people (like a macaroni salad bowl LOL), then the noodles... then the cottage cheese and mix it all together

6. BOOM. Cottage-cheese noodles.

It's pretty basic but it is always so good... ;w; It's much better with salt if you don't like bland flavors, but it's just as good without it as well!

 
this is my excuse to draw some food!! this is a recipe I came up with when I missed my mom's cooking when I was away in college. I'm such a big fan of spicy and salty foods so this simple dish is a homage to that taste!

This is the cutest thing I've ever seen. It's so sad I don't like chili peppers and cucumbers </3 ;w;

My mom used to make something similar to this when we were little, because it was inexpensive, filling, and usually good for 2 meals.

She used egg noodles and everything is pretty much the same up to step 4 on your recipe.

She combined 1 container of sour cream and an equal amount of cottage cheese in a bowl. She'd add some dried herbs and spices (onion/garlic salt, maybe some dill or oregano) and stir it up. It would all get mixed together in an oven-proof bowl, covered with tin foil, and baked.

She'd serve it with a tossed salad and maybe some bread and butter. It was a good meal when it was cold out.


The other one I remember was mushroom bisque, which basically she and I were the only ones who like it. She'd make a saucepan of it and keep it on the back of the stove, simmering. When we were hungry, we'd ladle a bowl for ourselves. That really didn't keep, because of the cream, so she only made enough for a few bowls each.
 
Mac + Cheese ~

🧀


Home cooked mac and cheese is one of the best comfort foods out there. Nothing beats the creamy, cheesy goodness of freshly made mac and cheese. The crispy breadcrumbs on top add the perfect amount of crunch, while the rich and velvety sauce coats every noodle perfectly.

*Plus, you can customize it to your liking by adding bacon, jalapeños, or other tasty toppings.

Not to mention, making mac and cheese from scratch gives you control over the ingredients, making it a healthier option compared to store-bought or fast-food versions.

Overall, home cooked mac and cheese is simply unbeatable in taste and satisfaction. ~

Thank you for coming to my TED talk LOL
 
Not exactly a meal but an easy peasy egg fried rice.

All you need are:
  • 1 or 2 eggs
  • a bowl of white rice, preferably not too sticky and cooled (you can use fresh rice too but the grains might stick together more). I'd say in cups, this is maybe 1-1.5 cups of cooked rice.
  • 1 - 1.5 tablespoons of oyster sauce (I use Lee Kum Kee brand and it's so versatile and delicious)
  • some oil for your wok/stir-fry pan with some allowance on the sides
Drizzle oil into your frypan and turn the heat up to high. Once you can feel the heat come up through the frypan, crack your eggs in and scramble them slightly using the cooking utensil of your choice (like chopsticks or a wooden spoon/spatula). Before the eggs are done cooking (so while you can still see some runniness) add in your bowl of rice and stir-fry the eggs and rice together. The rice should take on a bit of the golden color of the egg but you should still have pieces of egg scramble. Keep on stir frying until most of the rice granules stay separated (no clumps) and you get an even fry on everything. Add in your oyster sauce and make sure everything is lightly coated in it! You can lower your heat to medium at this step if you want. Cook for a bit more so the oyster sauce soaks into the rice and eggs well and taste for seasoning.
 
It's an easy side dish but you can make it a main dish if you want. It is filling and you can add other things to it. Like cooked carrots or cooked shredded chicken or whatever.
Approximately 20 oz broccoli frozen or thawed

2/3 cup of minute rice (or more)
Water that matches the minute rice measurement
( you can use old leftover rice or already cooked regular rice if you want instead)

2 cans of cream of mushroom soup ( 21 oz total)

Mushrooms (whatever amount you like, fresh or canned (drain well if canned)) chop them if fresh.

1 cup of shredded cheese of choice (I use Mexican blend)

Mix it a little, doesn't need to be perfect. I 'mix' it in the dish. However you do it, spray or butter the casserole dish before putting the mix in so it doesn't stick.

Bake 350F 15 mins then stir. Sometimes I add more cheese in top to bubble and brown.
Add 30 more min.
Add more cheese for the top after you take it out if you didn't already earlier.

Sometimes crushed garlic croutons are good in top of what's in your plate. I wouldnt put it in the whole dish as it will sog in the fridge.
