Quick & delicious recipes?

DH just made this delicious fried-egg sandwich with salted butter & dijon mustard. Apparently it was his grandfather’s favorite snack. Which made me wonder…  what fast, tasty, and mostly healthy homemade foods does your family love?

One thing that I really love is granny smith apples, cooked with turkey sausage.  The combo of salty, savory, and sour, and of crisp and kinda mushy.  mmmmmmm

It takes a fair bit of chopping, but that's it.

We have the Granny Smith apples. I’m heading to the basement to check the freezer for chicken sausage.

My mom called this Enchiladas when I was growing up, even though they really aren't.

Brown a pound of ground beef. Add 3 cans of ranch style beans and a can of enchilada sauce (or homemade). Serve on fritos or tortillas (I use fritos) and top with cheese, lettuce tomato, onion, and any other toppings you want. I add black olives, corn, sour cream,  avocado, but the first four toppings are how I ate it growing up.

I love a big pan of what I call “sweet potato hash”.

Take a big skillet (with lid) and add some coconut oil. Add in diced sweet potatoes, chopped onions, green & red bell peppers. Sauté for a bit, then put the lid on and cook for a bit for the potatoes to soften. Add a can of rinsed and drained black beans, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cook it all together (lid off) until it all looks like it has come together, flavored, etc.
I either eat it as is, or put some in a bowl and top with a fried egg. 

(It’s also super delicious as a quesadilla filling with cheese, but I usually try to avoid that 😬)

Fried potato sandwich.  I would not call it healthy though.  Usually with left over fried potatoes.  Toasted bread.  With mustard.

I never heard of a fried potato sandwich until last weekend, and now that’s twice in three days!  My cousin posted an Instagram video of frying potatoes just so she could make a sandwich.

Not my recipe, but someone here told me about it. Basically taco meat and cabbage fried.

I learned about that here recently, also. It’s a super easy favorite here now.

Also, @mlktwins shared a really easy beefy tomato soup recipe that’s become a new favorite, too! Basically — ground beef, onions and whatever type of pasta sauce you like, some broth. Throw in cooked pasta. So good.

Pre-allergies, frittatas were my go-to easy and yummy food.

Lately for us it’s been egg fried rice because SOMEONE here got us addicted to Uncle Roger. It’s handle for using up small bits of ingredients; especially when your garden is stingy and gives you about 8 snow peas at a time. 
 

I can make a meal of cheese toast any time of day, but I’m not sure it qualifies as healthy. I can’t resist it when there’s homemade sourdough in the house.

My sister used to mix cream of chicken soup with white rice. Her kids loved it for an afterschool snack.  But again....not healthy. LOL

Looks like we're venturing into the not-so-healthy here. Years ago I was given a recipe for potato soup:

5# potatoes (not specified but I prefer russets for this)

Water just to cover 

Salt & pepper

8 oz cream cheese.

Cook the potatoes till falling apart done - do not drain. Puree with the cream cheese and S&P. It may need to be cooked down more, or a little more water added, depending on how thick you want it.

Over the years I have amended it. Well, I rarely use 5# of potatoes - the recipe was given to me by someone with a big family. But now I add about 1 part cauliflower to 2 parts potato, maybe more. I never add as much cream cheese as stated. Probably a third of what's called for, proportionally. It's def a recipe to play around with.

People add different thing according to their desires:  bacon/facon, green onion, red onion, pickled jalapenos, cheese are the things I can think of now. I sometimes add some cooked greens into mine.

Here is the recipe I use https://www.mantitlement.com/beefy-tomato-soup/ except I use 1 cup of cream cheese instead of 1/2 cup.  Family favorite - we are having it tonight.

Inauthentic miso soup. Boil frozen edamame beans lightly, reduce to a simmer. Drop in finely chopped Chinese leaf. When tender stir in miso paste to taste. Add scallions and cubes of silken tofu. Don't stir, otherwise the tofu will fragment. Serve with chopped cilantro.

If you want it to be more substantial,  cook noodles with the edamame.
