I want mostly quick/easy stuff...........I had one call me the other day, "how do you make hamburgers?"
I'm putting in stuff that singles can do for themselves,not dinner party meals, basic cooking, like blt's, baked potatoes, steak, spaghetti and sauce, simple things, that can get them thru. I'm saving the more complicated meals and deserts for when they are older and know that there is more to life than hamburgers, mac and cheese, and soup, salad, and sandwiches
I had tried to teach mine how to cook, but that didn't last long, with homework, sports practices, work, they/we just didn't make the time, it was always easier for me to cook, or in my sister's case..order out
on the 6 of yours.........we've got 6 between us

Rice a Roni (or store brand)
Hambuger helper (or store brand)

Beer (for the chef)
Rice a roni is cool add meat.. (hamburger or Chicken)

Chop up some onions or bell peppers or add
add mushrooms (fresh or canned)
sour cream
try the spanish rice and add sour cream, and/or Salsa
buy some grated cheese and melt on top.
add a can or some frozen corn
those tips also work for Hamburger helper..
use the Oriental rice a roni and add chicken (cooked) and pour sweet and sour
sauce over (add pineapple too)

This year I have 5 of 6 of my children and my sisters children who I think need a cookbook........I'm going to put it together myself for them, but I need recipes...........recipes for singles as they are all college students and/or out living on their own, and none of them know how to cook.........we, my sister and I are forever getting phone calls on how to make........
