i will give my recipe for mushroon chicken

with a teensy bit of olive oil brown some boneless chicken breasts
once they are brown add a can of mushroom soup
lit it simmer like for 20 minutes
serve it with rice or green beans

I just tend to experiment - bung everything in and hope for the best!

At the minute i love chicken chasseur -
chicken breasts
chopped bacon
mushrooms
tin tomatoes
beef stock cube
flower
worcestershire sauce

Fry the chicken and bacon and then bung everything else in except the w sauce. Crumble the cube in.

when its simmered for 15-20 mins, put some w sauce in and serve with rice or mash!

I'm not that much of a cook - I just tend to buy things and cook off the instructions on the packet without putting any thought or ideas into anything My boyfriend is the more experimental one in the kitchen

omg your so lucky if he cooks most of the time

[Emzi]

Now I didn't say he cooked most of the time hehehe Nah, he's ok, but I tend to do most of the cooking but it's only simple things that I do He'll cook at the weekends when he's got time to put his ideas together hehe

[Emzi]

I'll probably do super noodles tonight

[Belfast girl]

Oh no emz they're bad for you!

They're my "3am after a night out" food

[squeezing_mwah]

yeah but they are sooooo quick and yummy!
not sure what to make tonight, am in quite a bit of pain after all i did yesterday (i went out last night, only to my best friends, but i ended up rolling about on the floor playing with her wee puppy) so i'm hoping that my sis might suggest a take away! woohoo...chow mein for me

[Emzi]

super noodles are yummy though and not many calories in them.... although they rarely fill me up so i end up having some snacks later on

hmm...

Tonight is a cook free night - going to see my fellas kids tonight and we usually take them to mcdonalds, burger king etc. My diet isn't really going to plan...

how do you make a chicken pie

[squeezing_mwah]

cook your chicken, line a pie tin with shortcrust pastry, add the chicken and some gravy or white sauce and whatever veg you want, stick a shortcrust pastry lid on et voila - one hicken pie...obv its gotta go in the oven for about 40 minutes tho

I'm quite fussy about food, i like to cook from scratch with proper ingredients and veg

I would have a takeaway or meal out once a week but i would never buy ready meals or dried stuff
