Default 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.

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.

Requiem, i know a lot of people have been thinking it but i guess i will be the one to say it, Know your role, get in the kitchen and quit wasting time on this board when you have house cleaning to do and pies to bake.

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

This is how I broke the fast yesterday:

-Package of Velveeta shells and cheese
-For a cheesier flavor, I added additional shredded cheese
-For a little crunch, I crumbled in some nacho cheese doritos
-Touch of Tapatio red pepper sauce

Washed down with a code red Mountain Dew

(And then took a three mile walk along the coast, which burned off maybe 10% of the calories)

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.

This sounds delicious. Unfortunately, Danimal would never eat it. He doesn't think soup can be a meal, even if you add a sandwich or salad with it.

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

Uuuuummm... I was legitimately asking for recipes, and not because I'm a repressed Mormon housewife. I'm a law student- and yes, putting off kids to attend. My husband cooks as much as I do. We like to cook. I wasn't trying to offend anybody's latent feminist sensibilities.
