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.

Julie Beck’s Mothers Who Know Pie
A subtle dash of single malt scotch whisky and tart cherries in the filling, plus an almost perceptible hint of hypocrisy, make this comforting pie unique. Serve with heavy screams for drizzling.
Servings: Feeds an entire congregation of non-thinkers
Crust
2 cups all purpose piety
3/4 cup heavy makeup
1 1/2 teaspoons condescension
3/4 cup ice cold eyes - cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup (or more) ipecac syrup
Filling
1 conference center full of dried old tarts
2 bottles Scotch single malt whisky
230 to 250 pounds medium-size Golden Delicious oversized RS President butts (about 2), peeled, halved, cored, thinly sliced – save excess in Crisco cans
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown noses
2 teaspoons ground sins of omission
1 tablespoon beaten mormon wives with 1 tablespoon sugar (for home teachers)
Preparation
Reserve two tablespoons whisky. Drink remainder. Console self with the fact that real “Mothers Who Know” keep their heads high when they deal with less than perfect kids, and are forced to work outside of the home. Gather dough into ball. Divide in half. Shape into disks. Wrap in plastic and freeze 1 hour. Use as projectiles at the next RS craft meeting.

You're right. For sweetness add a dash of udder balm.

Nice avatar. I had that album high school. Was it Milque toast?

post script: I just googled it. The album was Betty, I think Milquetoast was one of the tracks.

Danimal got lucky with you. Great album, almost as good as Meantime.

Well, I am hardly the bad a-- rocker I was when danimal and I met. My musical tastes have mellowed slightly. I don't think I'd listen to Helmet now... at least, not with my kids in the car.

Sorry your post has been hijacked and ignored. I'm always looking for a good recipe too. Here is one I've made a few times. Actually, I got this one from Farrah.

Cafe Rio Burritos

1 boneless pork tenderloin (about 2 lbs.)
1 1/2 cups ketchup
8 heaping Tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tsp. dry mustard
4 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. salt
6 cloves garlic

Cook in crockpot 6-7 hours, shred with fork. Serve in tortillas with rice, black beans, and cheese. Top with lettuce, green salsa, and sour cream.

This makes a ton of meat. I usually freeze the leftovers and get several meals out of it.

That sounds really yummy! We might try that this week.

Thanks, M! My uncle looooooves their pork burrito. If he wasn't already married, he would marry it. I just forwarded the recipe.
