Pages: 1 2 3  Next -- Posted by the real anti christ at 11:06 am on May 18, 2006 So I'm a poor college student, I have been thinking of putting together a little cook book. Pick out your favorite recipe and type it up make sure that the sum of all the required ingredients cost less the ten dollars and submit it as a post in this topic. Things like sugar, flower, milk and butter do not have to be accounted for but things like special spices should be included as a cost. Format as follows: Name total estimated cost. cook time ingredients list/amounts/estimated cost cooking instructions All entry's must include the above to be considered. All entry's will appear on my web site with credit given to the author (if your would like your real name listed please contact me via PM) unless you specifically ask me not to post it. Please make separate post for multiple recipes. 300pts for the winner, 100pts for the runner up (both chosen by me). Because of the inactivity of this forum I thought I might leave this contest open for a while so it will end on the 9th of June (my birthday:>). -- Posted by hotbitch at 11:07 am on May 18, 2006 kool -- Posted by masterfultemptation at 11:08 am on May 18, 2006 2 slices bread peanut butter jam knife Put peanut butter on one slice...jam on the other...put em together, eat! -- Posted by MoonlitEden at 11:10 am on May 18, 2006 Ooooh, what  fun contest.  Can it be something I got from an actual recipe and then added my own stuff to it? -- Posted by Sitora Sage at 11:10 am on May 18, 2006 Wonderful idea... -- Posted by ana at 11:11 am on May 18, 2006 Okay, these are like the most awesome things ever.

(Edited by 2 find myself at 12:02 am on May 24, 2006) I like how you copied that right out of a book. -- Posted by MoonlitEden at 10:25 pm on May 29, 2006 This is the best meal EVER and it is the easiest recipe I found for it.  I thought this particular recipe sounded....interesting...but then I made it over the weekend to test it out and it actually tasted better than the major recipe I normally use.  It's AWESOME.  I mean really, who knew ketchup could taste this good. HAWAIIAN MEATBALLS   1 can (1 lb. 4 oz.) pineapple chunks, drain well, reserve juice 1 lb. ground beef 1 egg 2 slices fresh bread, crumble 1 tsp. instant onion 1 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. cloves 1/8 tsp. allspice Mix beef and all these ingredients below together and pineapple juice. Mold small mounds around pineapple chunks. Place in 12 x 8 x 2 inch dish. 2 tablespoons reserve juice. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or microwave on high for 4 minutes. Pour all juice off. Make sauce with: 1/2 c. ketchup 1/3 c. brown sugar. This cost me about $4 to make because I already had a can of pineapple and the ketchup and stuff.  The only thing I had to buy was the ground beef.  If you need to buy everything, I say it won't come out to more than $10.00 and the only thing you will use all of is the pineapple and the beef.  Everything else is there for anything else you want to make. As for the time it took, maybe 25-30 min. in all, at the most.  Plus, maybe I'm a weirdo, but I love the feeling of mixing all the stuff together with my hands (of course I washed them).  The feeling of all the cold stuff squishing stuff through my fingers was divine. ...now I sound creepy.
