Hi, do you like fish? if you like fish try my moms recipe this is my favorite cooked fish, Ingredients: fish, salt, black pepper, garlic, sugar and vinegar. Clean the fish then sliced like a jerked fish after you wash the fish put it in a bowl then pour the vinegar in to fish put black pepper, garlic, sugar and salt, then mixed altogether and marinate for 10 to 15 mins after marinating the fish is ready to fried. Hope you like this, Good Luck!

Do you eat beef? If so, you can make hamburgers for something different. I like to cook a roast, then cut it up for different meals. You can make sliced beef in gravy to serve over bread or biscuits, or make cold sliced beef sandwiches. Cut some up to make stew or stir fry it with vegetables and rice. Potatoes are versatile if you eat them. You can bake them, boil them whole or cut them up and boil them. Fry them, deep fry them. Make potato salad or potato pancakes with them.

How about cooking ham, green beans and potatoes together in the same pot? The ham flavors both the potatoes and beans and you eat the potatoes like you would baked potatoes on your plate. You can use any kind of solid ham or even leftover ham slices if you have several. I always loved this growing up. Do you make stew? Or do you have cans of stew? Then get some pie crusts (or make them) and fill the crust with stew and top it with another crust. Grew up on that, too. My father always said it was too bad we had to serve stew to get to the pie! LOL A variation - cook some chicken and make a well-flavored stock. Let the chicken cool and shred it, putting it back into the stock along with peas and carrots. Don't have so much stock that those ingredients are overwhelmed. Freeze some stock if you make a lot. Then, when everything's hot again in the stock, thicken it with a flour and water slurry (blend, looks like heavy cream). In the mean time, make some little tart crusts (pie crust baked on the back side of muffin tins to make little pastry cups) or buy some puff pastry crusts. Then serve those pastry cups along side the thickened chicken and veggies so everyone can make their own little "pot pies" on their plates by filling the cups with the "creamed" chicken (my mother always called it creamed chicken, but no cream in it). Another childhood favorite that I've made a time or two as an adult. Serve a fruit with it like canned peaches or applesauce if you'd like. You know - I think I'm going to make this last one. I'm getting hungry and I have chicken in the freezer! Thanks for bringing it to mind!

There are several web sites that will help you with their menu planners. Taste Of Home, allrecipes.com, cdkitchen.com are a few and you might want to just do a search for recipe ideas. It is difficult to just start listing a bunch of recipes as you've not mentioned any preferences. Kopycat recipes site also has a menu planner that I get regularly via email. You can sign up at allrecipes.com to receive their newsletters, they have several. Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Nestle, Real Food 4 Real People are a few more. You have a wealth of cooking help at your fingertips.

Hi, I do feel bored of cooking the same dishes all the time. That is why I searched online for some new recipes. I only choose those simply and easy to prepare and cook. Those more complicated recipe, I won't never try it out. Do you like to eat spicy food? If yes, try cook curry chicken or curry vegetables. It is good to be served with steamed rice. Of course,don't cook it too often as curry is spicy and heaty. Or try stew chicken with potatoes,that is another favourite dish. You might also try cook chicken rice using rice cooker, I got this recipe online. Pretty simple , get ready the ingredients needed and dumped everything into the rice cooker and wait to be served.
