Anybody tried any good recipes recently?
Mr. Funk and I both like to cook but are short on time. Anybody tried some good easy recipes lately?
Here's one of our favorites to get us started:
Tomato Basil Soup:
2 cans diced tomatoes (14.5 ounce)
1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
pepper to taste (we like lots!)
1 1/2 teaspoon diced garlic
1 Tablespoon onion
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
2-3 teaspoons basil
Throw all of these ingredients together in a blender, blend until smooth.
Throw it in a pot, warm it up until it's bubbling gently.
Broiled French Sandwiches (variation on the traditional Croque Monsieur)
1 loaf French bread
1 tub sour cream
Any kind of meat and any kind of cheese (though, good combinations include roast beef and cheddar, turkey and provolone, ham and swiss... havarti with any of these is good!)
Cut the loaf in half the long way. On the non-crusty side, spread the sour cream with a spatula. Place slices of meat and cheese on top. Broil in the over for 3-5 minutes (watch carefully! you want the cheese to get bubbly but not burn!). Serve warm.
