    Thumbs up

    I am more than a little impressed with these, so much so that I might surprise the wife one day and actually have a go at cooking something up instead of burning everything. Most of these sound easy enough even for me.
    I just love this site, something for everyone here.

    i think a recipe section would be a great idea loads of folks are always looking for inspiration especially those on the go who can only manage the microwave meal etc...

    Default TexMex Burrito Recipe

    This is a recipe that I make based on my experience eating burritos. I can't vouch for authenticity because I am not Hispanic. I can say that they are quite tasty.

    Ingredients
    500g Mince (Ground Beef)
    1 can Refried Beans (pinto beans can be substituted)
    1 package flour tortillas
    2 Tbsp Tomato Sauce
    2 Tbsp Chili powder
    1.5 tsp Ground Cumin
    1 tsp Ground Oregano
    .5 tsp Garlic powder
    .5 tsp Onion powder
    .5 tsp Salt
    .5 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
    .5 Tbsp flour
    1-1.5 cups of water (more water thinner mixture)

    Mix all dry ingredients in small bowl. Brown mince in pan. Drain excess fat. Over medium heat, Add tomato sauce and water to mince, mix well. Increase heat to high then add dry ingredients, mix well. Reduce heat to medium once mixture starts to thicken (if mixture is to thick add more water to thin). Add refried beans to mixture. Reduce heat to low, let cook for 2-5 mins.

    Heat tortillas to soften, then fill with burrito mixture. I like to make guacamole and tomato salsa to accompany burritos. Enjoy

    Default bread

    heres a quick bread recipe to go with Aftermaths Parsnip soup its italian bread and the way its cooked may seem strange
    this is measured in cups so you cant go wrong and pleassssse no one ask what size the cups should be the bigger the cup the bigger loaf
    3 cups of strong bread flour
    1 cup of warm water
    1 pack of dried yeast
    1 tsp salt
    1.5 tbs olive oil good stuff
    sift the flour and salt then yeast mixing all the time add the oil and mix finally the water (you may need to add a bit nore depending on the flour) once the dough is ready form into a round
    place on an oiled tray cover in flour then with a sharp knife cut a deep circle round the top leave to rise covered until doubled in size then put it in a cold oven and turn it onto gas mark 4 cook for 45/55mins depending on your cooker may need less/more test bottom to see if its cooked the loaf should be crispy crusted and brown
    good look

    I know that some of the recipies on recipie sites are basically a waste of time. People have posted without testing and have missed out instructions or forgotten ingredients or even just made something up.

    Might be nice to have a few recipies that have been tried, tested and approved/rated.

    A lot of folkcan't even boil an egg and live off ready meals. Maybe they would be tempted to try making something if it had been rated as easy to make and tasty.
    I am new to this site but my other half told me to join, he was fed up with me asking him to get something from the site. He got a chilli recipe from the site, not sure who posted it and it was absolutely delicious. He cooked it in the slow cooker and went to work, we made a second pot of it tonight. So recipe thread sounds like a good idea and am sure poople who are interested can post their favourite recipes as well
