I finally bought my own place and will be moving in a few months time. This means that I finally get to cook for myself every night. I really like to cook, but I haven't had much oppurtunity because my family's tastes are quite limiting. Now I can be my own guinea pig
Anyway, when I do move out, I will definitely visit this thread often for ideas. I love all the really great everyday meals listed here, because often times, what I find in recipe books and my tons of magazine cut outs aren't really practical for everyday meals (time and money wise).
Enchiladas and fajitas with mixed salad (yes, Mexican night at Scher-household).
Followed by red grapes.

I had nachos with taco beef on them. I just wasn't in the mood for real food.
Shrimp boiled with a bag of Zatarains's crawfish, shrimp and crab boil seasoning.
Shrimp are chilled on ice served with cocktail sauce and a bottle of cheap French table wine.

Vegan eggrolls with sweet and sour sauce.
Eggrolls:
I use vegan wraps, but you can use any eggroll wrappers found in your deli
Smart grounds taco flavored
Red and green bell pepper
Green cabbage
Minced onion
Shredded carrots
Garlic
Salt
Pepper
Chili powder
Cayenne pepper (optional)
Soy sauce
Red wine (I use California Merlot)
Sauce:
Red wine vinegar
Pineapple juice
Brown sugar
Soy sauce
Corn meal
Red and green bell pepper
Ginger
This is a pretty flexible recipe. Meat eaters can use real meat. You can change up the vegetables. I cook the filling first in a frying pan, then I wrap it up and fry the wraps. I cook all of the ingredients for the sauce in a sauce pan until thick and bubbly. I wing it with this meal, so I don't have exact measurements. It's fantastic though.

I made my own egg rolls this past summer. These sound good from the ingredients.Originally Posted by Varenne Rodin

Thank you! Eggrolls are fun. This is my grandmother's recipe (only she used real meat). People who hate sweet and sour sauce love my sweet and sour sauce.

Geez, it's been almost a year since anyone's posted on here!
So, tonight I'm making chilli fried calamari with an avo salad...and possibly potato wedges, depending on how hungry I am.
Fried bullfrog with lemon grass and other Vietnamese seasonings. For desert, lamb skewers and endless beers into the morning. Vietnamese people know how to live.
I'm going to skip the bullfrog bit and ask why dessert's not sweet? The horror.
Tonight we are having a braai with lamb chops and boerewors, with potato salad and rolls. For dessert there's malva pudding and custard. I can't wait
Fried Bullfrog? Hmmmm.
Also, TurquoiseSunset, what are braai, boerwors, and malva pudding? The lamb sounds good.
Broiled salmon and roasted broccoli. Oreo cookies for dessert. Yum.

A braai is a barbeque. So we barbequed some lamb chops and boerewors. Boerewors is a traditional South African sausage, made with mainly beef (and some pork and/or lamb) and spices (coriander seeds, pepper, cloves, etc.). This is what it looks like on the braai: wors and chops, yummy.
Malva pudding is a baked dessert that looks like sticky toffee pudding. It's traditional Cape Dutch dessert. It's comforting and simple and easy to make...it's a store cupboard wonder.I found a good recipe with nice pictures: here. Serve with ice-cream, custard or evaporated milk.
