Lazy Girl Recipes: Meatloaf

Okay, so this is one of the less lazy recipes I have, but I made up for all the work I did by forgetting to take pictures. And, let's be honest, when I say "All  the work," I mean that I actually thawed meat. Crazy, right?

Ingredients:
Ground beef
1 egg
1 Tbsp Basil paste
Salt/pepper
3 Tbsp Worchester Sauce
Garlic powder
Minced onions

Step one, make sure that your beef is unfrozen. Now, I know that it's difficult, but the rest of the recipe will be even harder if you don't do this.

Mix in the egg with the meat. That's right squish it around until it's nice and mixed. Then add all the spices and worcester sauce. You can really play around with the spices, if you want because, in my humble opinion, there is no such thing as too much.

Put the mixture in a pyrex dish and form it into a loaf. Cover with foil and bake at 350 until done through (meaning: when you stick a knife in the center there is no pink). 

Lazy Girl Recipes: Honey Ginger Chicken

When it comes to cooking, I'm pretty... relaxed. I love doing it, but I'm no gourmet cook. I mean, come on, I'm in college; I can deal with Descartes before noon, but ain't nobody got time for fancy recipes. But if college has taught me anything, it's that variety is the spice of life, particularly when it comes to food. So I've been experimenting, and I've come up with some pretty good recipes for those of us on a budget.

Without further ado, may I present my Honey-ginger Chicken recipe?

Ingredients:

2-3 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ginger paste
1 Tbsp honey
Salt and pepper
1 frozen, skinless, boneless chicken breast

Equipment:
pyrex dish
foil

What to do:
If you are ambitious you could thaw your chicken, but if you're a lazy bum like me, you can pull it straight out of the freezer. Dump all the ingredients on the chicken. If you want to be fancy, you could mix the olive oil, spices, and honey in a small bowl, but I usually just pour them straight on to the meat. Cover with foil and cook at 350-400 until the chicken is done through. *If your chicken is frozen it can take up to an hour to cook.*

Okay, so I totally took a bite before I took the picture. It was just too yummy!
