Tell us a recipe.
Now I realize this may be a little to domestic for you but I could use some change up in our kitchen so bring it on. The rules are prep. time can't be more than 30 minutes long (the shorter the better). That is the only rule.
My first recipe is:
Chocolate Chip Cookies (the best ever)
1. 3/4 cup granulated sugar
2. 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3. 1 cup butter, margarine, or like, softened
4. 1 tsp vanilla
5. 1 large egg
6. 2 1/4 cup flour
7. 1 tsp b. soda
8. 1/2 tsp salt
9. 1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
1. Heat oven to 375 (F not C)
2. Beat 1-5 in bowl.
3. Stir in 6-8
4. Add 9
5. Drop dough onto ungreased cookie sheet (about 1 1/2 inch balls)
6. Bake 8-10 minutes*
7. Cool 1 to 2 minutes, remove from cookie sheet to racks
*here is Squishy's secret to all that is great with cookies, NEVER cook cookies for the entire amount. DO NOT bake them for 10 minutes or they will NOT be the best ever. Cook your first sheet for 8 minutes and take them out. Even if they don't look done, they are. The next sheet should be no more than 8 minutes but maybe even 7 1/2 minutes. This is the way to get them soft. I promise.

Pepper Steak Stir Fry:
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon pepper ( I always add lots more)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 red onion
1 clove garlic
2 red peppers
1 green pepper (or mix any kind you like)
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons sour cream (generous ones)
1 tablespoon dijon mustard (generous one)
1/2 pound sirloin steak cut into slivers.
In a sturdy plastic bag combine flour, salt and pepper. Drop slivered beef into the bag and shake to coat it. In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil then add the beef. Cook beef for 3 to 4 minutes to brown. Take beef out of the pan and set aside. Add little more oil to the pan, then add onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes. Add bell peppers and broth. Cook another 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and Mustard. Return meat to the pan and simmer until heated through. about another minute or so.
Serve over cooked rice or noodles.
This sounds delicious. I am not a very good cook myself, but I plan to lobby for warm fuzzy to make this and let me eat some. And some chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
That does sound good!
Okay....Zucchini Enchiladas - super easy - this is a small serving (for 1 or 2), but you could easily make a double recipie for not much more time.
1 TBS Olive Oil
1 Garlic Glove, cut into tiny pieces

1/2 Bell Pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips lengthwise (I recommend the superior Red Pepper)

In a skillet, heat olive oil 1 minute on high eat. Add garlic, zucchini, bell pepper, adn chili powder. Cook 4 minutes (until veggies are lightly browned).
Lay Tortillas flat, insert veggies on one side, adn roll.
