Hello /ck/, what are your most cooked meals? Meals that you have pretty much perfected, could do off the back of your hand, and eat frequently. For me it's Japanese Curry Rice, Spaghetti Bolognese, Beef Stew, and Chicken Tikka Masala. I'll be posting a recipe for the last in a bit, feel free to post recipes of your own!
A recent addition for lunches is a salad I finally love. I've tried so many fancy and simple ones and end up bored and disappointing by all of them. I got the perfect one from a budget-bytes blog-post:
1/2 a head romaine,
one roma tomato,
ceasar dressing,
a fried egg,
some cracked pepper.
Not only is it tasty and filling, but it doesn't bloat my weekly shopping at all.
The two desserts I'm expert on are Tiramisu and Nutella Cheesecake, though I make impulse mug cakes every other week. This is the best recipe for those btw: http://www.tablefortwoblog.com/the-moistest-chocolate-mug-cake/

My favorite oatmeal is this:
Boil one cup of milk
Once it's about to scald (ie, overflow, watch out) add 1/2 cups of oats (you need them ready for once the milk rises, so have them close), stir, and bring the temp down to med. Stir frequently. Cook for five mins.
Meanwhile, cut up one ripe banana and set aside (I usually just mince it up using the peel as a plate), and put two tbs of peanut butter (chunky or creamy, whichever) in a bowl along with 1 tbs honey.
Once the oats are cooked, add them to the PB and honey and stir until combined. Then add the banana.
The heat from the oats gives the banana a really decadent creaminess that works really well with the texture of the oats and PB, and the sweetness/creaminess of the bananas and honey offsets the dry-mouth effect of the PB. This is very filling and is enough for two servings.
Oh and when you put the oats in the bowl fill the pan up with water so it's easier to get the scalded layer of milk off the bottom, it'll come off with a bit of scrubbing.

That sounds great, I'll be trying that.

Oh and I use old-fashioned rolled oats, adjustments will be needed for other kinds and I can't guarantee it'd work.

Good for you, anon.
>>7437027
Steel cut oats are steel coat oats.
>Rolled oats (sometimes called old fashioned oats) are created when oat groats are steamed and then rolled into flakes. This process stabilizes the healthy oils in the oats, so they stay fresh longer, and helps the oats cook faster, by creating a greater surface area.

Mini cheesecakes

Cheesecakes practically demand to be mini. Every time I make a pie-size cheesecake it ends up being an obligation to finish it, each slice being so filling.
