Looking for lunch time meals!
Hi guys!
First time posting here! I work at a fast food restaurant and get free meals on my break which I always end up buying. Looking for a meal I can batch cook and eat cold that I can have on my breaks instead of burgers every day!
TIA

Recipe Websites that Don't Have Annoying Ads?
Are there any recipe websites that don't have 40 billion ads packed into the page that make my laptop overheat within seconds of loading the page? And that are actually written for human consumption instead of catering to the current particularities of Google's crawler for the utmost SEO placement?
There should be a simple library of the top 100 or maybe even 1,000 most popular recipes, all in plaintext, no annoying ads, no 7,000 word stories about how your grandma loves listening to wind chimes in the summer before getting to the ingredient list, just the recipes with instructions. How hard could it be? It would cost maybe $100 / year to run such a website and I would donate to support it.

I need help finding a borscht recipe with rhubarb to honor my ggma who just died
So my great grandma (ggma) died last night and I found out this morning. I'm not in contact with that side of the family and I live halfway across the country so between family drama and being broke I can't go to her funeral. I have a great memory of making borscht with ggma so I decided I'm going to make borscht today to honor her. Unfortunately I swear that when we made it together years and years ago she used rhubarb and I can't find any recipes online that use rhubarb. I can't ask any relatives for the recipe because it's a mutual disowning thing. Does anyone have a recipe for borscht that uses rhubarb? I would be super greatful

Hot Chorizo Chili
Ingredients
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 lb ground hot chorizo
- 1 lb lean ground burger (beef or turkey)
- 1 & 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp cayenne (double this if you substitute out the hot chorizo)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbs chili powder
- 1 large can (28 Oz) whole tomatoes, with juice
- 1 can (16 Oz) kidney beans, drained (you can double this if you want)
- 1 cup water
Directions
- In the bottom of a large pot, saute onion in oil until translucent
- Add ground chorizo and burger, pepper, & minced garlic
- Cook until meat is done, then drain grease
- Return drained ingredients to the pot, adding the spices, water, beans, and tomatoes. Be sure to break up tomatoes in the pot
- Cover and simmer for 1 hour
Notes
- I personally prefer turkey to beef, but most people would likely use ground beef
- This recipe is a bit spicy, and I've played with it until I got it just right for my taste (I previously used 1/2 teaspoon cayenne and hot chorizo which definitely had me sweating a bit)
- I don't like too many beans in my chili but the original recipe calls for 2 cans if that's up your alley
- You can skip sautéing the onion if you want to, but I like to do that first because I feel that it really brings out the flavor of the onion

Can you make al pastor with Goya Sazon seasonsing packets?
The al pastor (pork) recipe calls for achiote paste and I went to a few stores, none of which had the paste or anything resembling it... except... Goya Sazon packets with "Culantro y Achiote". I haven't found a recipe that uses it since most show fresh ingredients with fresh peppers, or use the paste. I'm trying to simplify and throw some chops in the crock pot in a marinade mix, shred the pork up and throw it in a taco. Anyone ever do this? Anyone have any pointers or recipes that are good for this?

Bundt cake recipe ideas with frozen fruit
Hi, I have a bunch of frozen fruit and a bundt cake pan. I was thinking about making a bundt cake with my frozen fruit.
I'm looking for recipe recommendations and also, how should I use the frozen fruit (berries) in baking? Mostly, how do I prevent the fruit from bleeding in the cake? Should I defrost the frozen first or just mix it in the batter without defrosting?
Thanks!

Nut Bar from Pret a Manger 2000s
Hey all!
Growing up my dad would occasionally bring me these square shaped nut sweets from Pret a Manger when he travelled to the US and they were my absolute favorite sweet as a kid. Last time he found them was late 2000s, and we never figured out what they were. I thought of them till i had those Whole Foods date and walnut cakes (called matitas I think). It’s similar in size and texture but not so much in the taste. My dad says all he remembers is that he used to find them by the cashier, so I’m assuming it was just a little treat that pret sold for a few years.
Anyways, because of COVID I’ve been home with my parents and I really wanted to figure out what those were so I could make them and have it with them. I’ve looked all over the internet but since I have no clue what they’re called it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly to look for. Not sure if anyone remembers the name and/or having them. I know this isnt a lot to go from but I was hoping to find some sort of guidance so I can finally figure out what those where and make it for them.
Thanks in advance!!

Easily microwaveable allergen free cake?
Hello, my son is allergic to dairy and nuts, sadly! They often celebrate birthdays in preschool and there’s cake and he can’t eat it. It’s tragic. He’s a real sweetheart and doesn’t make a fuss but I hate that he is left out.
I am a complete beginner to baking and wouldn’t even know where to begin. But I’d like to make him cake that can be frozen and kept in school for a few weeks and easily microwaved so he can have his own allergen free cake.
He loves chocolate but really any yummy flavour is good!

Burger on a bed of onions
This one's pretty self explanatory, so here it is: Serving size: 1 person (you can scale it up for multiple people if you want)
Ingredients:
• 1 beef patty • half a medium sized onion • burger buns • sauce of choice • cheese of choice
Directions: • Cut a medium onion in half lengthwise and then cut one half horizontally into thin semicircles and store other half for later. Cut this half too if you're making 2 burgers. • Toast buns • Place the onion slices on a cast iron skillet in a pile and place beef patty on top. • let it cook for a few minutes until onions are cooked and the beef has browned then flip. • let beef brown on the other side then cover with cheese slice (I prefer cheddar). • Turn off the heat and cover until the cheese has melted. • get your toasted bun, place your patty and onions on it, spread sauce of choice on the top bun (eg: burger sauce or bbq sauce) and place top bun.
Optionally you can add pickles if you want. Also you can skip out on the sauce since you're getting a lot of flavour from the onions anyways, but it adds a nice touch to the burger.

Does anyone have a chewy oatmeal cookie recipe?
I once had oatmeal cookies that I would describe as chewy; aside from the oats, the texture was similar to a soft sugar cookie.
I've been trying to recreate it, but every 'chewy' recipe I've found is really just soft, like this one. At this point, all of the recipes I can find have the same ingredients as ones I've already tried.
Does anyone have a recipe that would be a better fit, or tips on how to adapt others to be more chewy?

Ricotta Cherry Cheesecake Brownies
Ingredients
Brownie:
- 6 ounces dark chocolate
- 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 75 grams cake flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- Chocolate chips (optional)
Cheesecake:
- 8 ounces ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 ounces plain greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 50 grams sugar
- 1/4 cups dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, blueberries) soaked in rum/brandy/Grand Marnier
- Lemon zest (optional)
Directions
- Make the brownie batter:
- Melt the chocolate along with the butter in a bowl. You can use a double boiler or microwave, but be careful to not burn it!
- Mix in the sugar and make it smooth.
- Slowly add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and espresso powder in. Add the salt and chocolate chips and stir, but don't over-mix.
- Make the cheesecake batter:
- Leave the ricotta and cream cheese to soften a little. Then, put them in a bowl and mix a little.
- Again, slowly add the eggs in and mix.
- Add the sugar and mix it until smooth. A machine might be handy for this one.
- Assembly:
- Take a 9" circular pan and pour the brownie batter into the bottom, making it flat.
- Add the dried fruit.
- Pour the cheesecake batter on top.
- Put it in the oven at 325° for 60 to 70 minutes. Once done, you should be able to put a toothpick in it and pull it out cleanly.
- Chill in the fridge for at least an hour. If you eat it straight out of the oven, it'll seem very loose.

DILL GALORE
Ok, I love dill, and i buy it pretty much weekly, but as y’all know, there are two options for buying herbs at the store - a giant bunch you could never use in a week unless preparing for a ton of people, or the tiny plastic containers that don’t get you anywhere - and often cost more than the former. So I always buy the big bunch.
I eat salmon at least 2 x a week, and use dill in an Alison Roman inspired whole lemon dressing that I put on the fish and a spinach salad, I’ve tried home pickling, and I use it in simple salads w cucumber, tomato, lemon juice, s&p - delicious.
But any outside the box ideas on what to do with dill?

Quick filled pizza
Hey there! I found this in one of my mom’s cookbook, just did it, and it’s delicious.
INGREDIENTS
Dough: 2 cups of flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 tsp pepper 1 tsp baking powder 70 g of butter (I used 10 tsp) 2 yolks 1/2 cup of milk
FILLING: 1 finely chopped onion 1/2 cup of oil Oregano 2 tomato’s Salt and pepper Cheese
DIRECTIONS
DOUGH: Sift together the flour, salt, pepper and baking powder. Then add the yolks, and gradually add the milk to create a dough, but not working it. Let it rest for half an hour, covered, in a fresh spot. Separate the dough in half; roll the first half in a well-floured surface until it’s 3-4 mm and put it into a baking sheet previously buttered.
FILLING: Fry the onion, oregano and half the oil; let it rest. When cold, add to the dough that’s in the baking sheet. Then add a layer of tomato slices, and add on top some salt, pepper and oregano. Put then a layer of cheese, and add on top the rest of the oil.
Roll the second half about the same size as the first one, and cover the fillings. Then with a fork stick both doughs by the borders. You can “paint” the top dough with some of the whites left. Put in the oven for half an hour and it’s done!
You can add other filling if you like. I added some spinach :)

3 flavors of homemade ice cream with 3 main ingredients. No churning needed. :)
The Sun blazing down upon in my corner of the world and me wishing but not being able to rather be on a beach somewhere, I still wanted to have some sort of Summer activity! Made these 3 homemade ice creams that were fun to make but didn’t require a multitude of work that goes into ice creams made in machines. These are no-churn and eggless. Give it a whirl, more so if you have kids and need a fun activity to do with them. :)
The flavors I did:
-
Vanilla with caramel sauce and choc chips
-
Butterscotch
-
Strawberry
If you’d rather watch a video, it’s here. Just an image? Find it here. :)
Here are the ingredients you will need:
For the ice cream base:
1. Heavy Cream: 20 oz
2. Condensed Milk: 1 can or 14 oz
3. Vanilla Extract: 1 tbsp
4. Freezer proof plastic containers: 3 nos
For the flavorings:
· Vanilla with Caramel sauce & Choc Chip Ice Cream:
1. Sugar: 4 oz
2. Water: 2 oz
3: Heavy cream: 2 oz
4. Choc Chips: 2 oz or as desired
· Butterscotch Ice Cream:
1. Sugar: 2 oz
2. Roasted Cashews: 2 oz OR any other roasted nuts
3. Butterscotch extract: few drops, Optional
· Strawberry Ice Cream:
1. Strawberries, fresh: 6-8 pcs
2. Sugar: 2 oz
Steps:
-
Get the flavors ready first. Measure out everything before you start.
-
For the caramel sauce:
a. Put the sugar and water in a heavy bottom pan. Put over medium heat and let it melt.
b. When it becomes amber in color, add cream and whisk like mad. It won’t break if you whisk it like you mean it! To cross reference the texture, check out time stamp 1:50 of my video.
c. Set aside and let cool
- For butterscotch:
a. In a pan, put the sugar and let it turn golden over medium heat. Don’t add water at all.
b. When it is golden, add in crushed and roasted cashews [or any other roasted nut] and mix well.
c. Transfer to a lightly oiled plate and let cool. When cool, break into tiny bits to be used later.
- For Strawberry compote:
a. Wash, dry, and finely chop the strawberries.
b. Place in a pot, add sugar, and cook over medium heat.
c. Don’t add water. Cook till it reaches jam like consistency. Again, to cross reference, check out video time stamp 2:30.
d. When ready, set aside to cool
- For Ice Cream base:
a. Mix the cream, vanilla extract, and condensed milk in a bowl and blend using a hand blender. Blend until it is frothy and creamier than what you started with – about 7 mins.
b. Measure and divide into 3 parts for 3 flavors.
- Layering the ice creams:
a. For the vanilla with caramel sauce, pour in freezer proof containers, alternating the layers. Add choc chips on top after it has been in the freezer for few hours. Freeze overnight.
b. For butterscotch, mix the candied nuts with the base, add few drops of butterscotch extract [optional]. Pour in container. Freeze overnight.
c. For strawberry, mix the compote with the base. Pour in container and freeze overnight.
For plating suggestion, check out picture here. :)

S’mores Ice Cream. Toasted marshmallow creme anglaise with homemade hot fudge and graham crackers
S’mores ice cream
Toasted marshmallow creme anglais
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 20 jet-puffed marshmallows
Hot fudge
1/2 recipe of Bon Apetit’s best hot fudge: recipe
Graham crackers
1/2 recipe of King Arthur Flour’s graham crackers, without cinnamon sugar topping Can be made up to 3 days in advance. Or you can use store-bought ones. recipe
Combine whole milk and heavy cream in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until just simmering, stirring occasionally to prevent milk from scorching. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow and ribbony, about 4 minutes. Once simmering, take milk mixture off heat and slowly ladle into egg mixture, whisking the whole time to prevent eggs from scrambling. Once most of the milk mixture has been mixed with egg mixture, pour back into saucepan and return to heat. Heat, stirring constantly, until 180F or it can coat the back of a spoon. Lay out marshmallows on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Broil marshmallows for 2 minutes or until toasted, you will need to watch this closely as it happens fast. Once egg and milk mixture reaches 180F, take off heat and strain into a preferably glass or metal bowl. Stir in marshmallows until completely dissolved. Allow mixture to reach room temp (recommend using an ice bath for this) before covering with plastic wrap or transferring into airtight container and storing in fridge overnight.
The next morning, before churning, make 1/2 recipe of Bon Apetit’s best hot fudge and allow to cool to room temperature. In the meantime, take graham crackers in a plastic bag and lightly hit with rolling pin in order to get a nice variety of graham cracker chunks. Nothing bigger than a quarter.
Churn marshmallow gelato using preferred method/machine. Once churned, fold in graham crackers. Then ripple in fudge, making sure not to over-mix. I did this by creating several layers of the gelato and fudge and lightly swirling it with a knife. You want the fudge to be rippled through and not mix in with the gelato. Transfer to airtight container or metal bowl, cover and let freeze until set, about 4 hours. Serve and enjoy!
This seems like a much more involved recipe than it really is. Both the graham crackers and hot fudge can be made well in advance. Or you could just buy both from the grocery. Store-bought crackers would probably make this taste more true to an authentic s’mores.

Dill Pickles: to ferment or not to ferment?
Hello friends,
I planted some Kirby cucumbers in my garden this year and they're producing a lot. I'm planning on pickling most of them, and then doing a hot water canning so I can try to preserve them for a couple months. I've pickled stuff before (mostly onions and ramp bulbs), but have never tried to make traditional dill cucumber pickles. Now, a lot of recipes I've looking at online seem to be divided into two camps: to do a traditional vinegar pickle like I've done before, or to ferment the cucumbers for several days in a brine with spices.
Does anyone have any experience with this? What tastes better? I don't mind fermenting the cucumbers, but I'm afraid I don't have adequate temperature control. Thanks for any help or tips you can provide!

Self made Dutch Kibbeling (fried cod fish) with fried sweet potatoes
Ingredients:
Kibbeling:
300 grams cod fish
1 egg yolk
100 gr flour
150 ml milk
(olive)oil
fish herbs (I used dille, dragon, salt, pepper, but you can use any herbs you like with your fish)
Sweet potato fries:
sweet potato
2 egg whites
herbs (I used chili, sweet pepper, salt, pepper)
side:
romaine salad
tomatoes
cucumber
Prep:
Heat the oven to 200 C.
Make slices of the sweet potatoes into fries. Marinate with the herbs and egg whites.
Put down a baking paper on the oven rack. Put the marinated fries on the rack.
Pay attention that they all have enough space. It takes approximately 40-50 minutes to make. I make intervals of 20 mins to take them out and turn them.
In the meantime we start with the fish. Make little blocks of the cod fish, marinate with the herbs and set aside.
Wash the salad and other vegetables you like to put in, cut it and put it together.
While we make the batter, you can heat the oil.
The batter: mix the egg yolk with the flour and some fish herbs. Then add a little milk at a time and mix it all until it is good mixed together. At last put the fish in the batter and mix it.
TIP: you can check if the oil is hot enough by sprinkling it with water from your fingers. The temperature is good when it makes a sizzling sound when the water touches the oil.
Make around 4 batches of the cod fish to fry it for 5 minutes per batch.When the batch is finished, pay attention that the oil should be warmed up first before you put a new one in. Otherwise the fish will soak up all the oil.
When the Kibbeling and the fries are ready, we finish making the salad with a dressing. I put salt and pepper, parmesan, and a little bit of balsamic vinegar and oil. A traditional and tasty dressing :)
And in the end it looks like in the picture!
