I don’t feel like eating out tonight so I figure I’ll give cooking a try. What should I make? Lets go for something more interesting than spaghetti. ---

according to TV, you can make a meal in 543 nanoseconds with the magic bullet. something about the ronco rotisserie… set it and forget it? but honestly, get a pizza dough from wegmans and make your own. so good. ---

It really isn’t that hard. I’ve got some great recipes from our old neighbors. They have 3 kids so all their recipes are pretty hands off. It’s hard to cook anything real complicated when you need your hands free to strangle a little kid every 5 minutes 😉 ---

k, I didn’t make the chicken. I forgot the recipe here at work so I stopped by the store and picked up stead and pasta(along with red pepper and asparagus). This was not a cheap meal! Steak alone was 28 bux and the pasta stuff was about another 5. With the steak, I just used butter and grilled it, it started it’s own fire under the grill from the butter dripping so I had to move the steakes often. More butter the better. I cooked the pasta then ran it under cold water. I steamed the asparagus with butter and garlic powder in the water and cut up the sweet red peppers. Next, I threw the pasta, peppers and asparagus in a big ziplock bag and put sundried salad dressing on top and shook it up. Pasta salad was pretty good and I should have gotten less expensive steak lol. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-feel-like-cooking-but-i-cant-even-make-a-microwave-dinner/35532.md?page=2)
