Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and mushrooms. Bell peppers work too.

Okay, so here's what I like to do:

-cook up some beans (usually either black beans or chickpeas)
-saute a bunch of veggies with either garam masala or curry, and sometimes Buffalo sauce (of all things!)
-toss some brown rice in the pan (and saute that, too, for a couple of minutes)
-toss the the beans into the same pan and cook everything together

That's pretty time-consuming, too, but it sure is tasty.

I also like baking veggies with oil and balsamic vinegar. I usually pair them with chicken (and will bake the chicken in the same dish), but you could pair them with just about anything.

If you want simple, you could also make sandwiches out of spinach & artichoke hummus, feta cheese, and cucumbers.

Spaghetti Bolognese.

Inside-out pasta! Basically, make ravioli, and for the filling, tomato (cook as you do your favorite tomato sauce, just toughen it up with some breadcrumbs and/or grated cheese. Serve with PLENTY of butter. :D

Day-um. Now I need to invite a ton of people so I have an excuse to make a shit ton of ravioli again. Because each time I say "I shall make a shit ton so I can freaze it in small portions for later use" I just end up eating it all on my lonesome. It's addicting stuff.

Bruschetta, for something light when it's hot. Made some just today. It's a bit time consuming too, at least for the dicing tomatoes part, but it's good. My favourite is just diced fresh tomato and a little diced garlic mixed together, spread on crusty bread with some flakes of parmesan on top, and then lightly toasted under a grill. You can fry off the bread and topping in a pan with olive oil, too, but I prefer toasting because it's less messy.

Fruit pies. There's something really satisfying about making crust and cutting up a bunch of fruit and filling your house with the BEST GODDAMN SMELL EVER.

Sounds like you're vegan or at least vegetarian, so let me recommend my favorite (easiest) recipe for majadra:

http://www.pinkbites.com/2009/01/lebanese-rice-and-lentils.html

SO DAMN GOOD. I'm not vegan (big ol' carnivore most of the time) but I love this dish. It's all about the spices, so season to taste.

Sweet Pork Hand Rolls

You know the pork that comes with Chinese pork fried rice? Here is the pork, served wrapped up in lettuce (Romaine's my choice) with slices of cucumber and carrots and chopped up peanuts. Along with a sauce to dip it all in. Not only is it incredibly delicious like something you get at a nice restaurant, it's ridiculously easy to do. No, I'm being serious. Even the most beginner cook can do this.

If you like sweet pork, you should try it ASAP. It will be one of your favorite go to meals.

easiest thing I make is throw it all into the rice cooker. I make some rice, wait about 10-15 minutes, throw in frozen lima beans, corn, string beans, whatever other frozen vegetables I have, give it a good stir and wait until the cooker is done. When I take it out, I'll throw some soy sauce on for flavor.

You could just cook it on the stove if you don't have a rice cooker, which is what I did at first.

If you don't want rice, I used to dice up chicken, cook with Italian season, then throw in frozen vegetables. Once the frozen ones softened a bit, I'd add grated parmesan cheese, celery flakes (if I didn't have fresh celery), and diced tomatoes. Sometimes I'd eat it as is or I would serve it over angel hair.

Stuff in my crockpot. It tastes good, its easy, and the whole home smells amazing for hours. Recently my favorite has been lentil soup.

Cook some pasta, sauté thinly sliced aubergine in a pan with olive oil, add the pasta and sprinkle with basil before serving. Quick, easy, tasty. Will do the same with many other vegetables depending on what's available every season, but aubergines is definitely my favourite.

I don't understand how someone could be sick of portobellos...

I make a lot of roast chicken, usually with just thighs. Thyme-Butter Chicken and Roast Veg is one of my favorite recipes, and will always impress company (or just make a lot of delicious leftovers):

1 package chicken legs or 1 quartered whole chicken
1 stick salted butter (room temp)
a bunch of fresh thyme
Olive oil
salt and pepper, red pepper flakes

Your favorite veggies, cut in nice chunks; I recommend:
-2 fennel bulbs
-some small thin-skin potatoes are best, but you can use whatever potatoes are on hand, just cut 'em up
-mushrooms (button, cremini, portobello, whatever)
-some carrots
-garlic bulbs (don't bother peeling them, just separate them)
-1/2 an onion, or more if you're making a lot or really like onion
-use whatever you like; I've also included brussels sprouts, butternut squash, zucchini, eggplant, turnips etc.

Cut up your veg and put it in a big roasting pan. If it's overflowing with veggie deliciousness, you might need to use 2 pans. Lube them with some olive oil, and a little S&P.

Dice the butter into some cubes in a shallow bowl. Then pluck all the leaves off a ton of thyme into the butter. This is time-consuming (ha!) but worth it. Mix the thyme and butter together; a pastry-cutter is useful.

Pat the skin of your chicken pieces dry with paper towels (enhances crispiness), and place them on top of the vegetables. Rub 'em with your butter mixture, and throw globs of it onto the veg too. Season with S&P, a little red pepper, and roast at 400F for about an hour. BAM.

You can also successfully roast just veggies with the thyme butter (big hit with my vegetarian friends at a potluck Thanksgiving), although I'd do it at 425F for 45-65 min and make sure to stir them to prevent scorching. You might want to add a tablespoon or two of water or vegetable stock if they're looking a bit dry; the chicken adds moisture in the standard recipe.

assuming you're vegan

Slow cooker vegetable stew (with tomato juice or V8 mixed with vegetable broth)?

Meatless chili?

I would also suggest vegan minestrone, but it's rather time consuming as well.

Cheeseless whole wheat pizza?

For no-cook stuff, I've done hummus and tabouli. Though unless you make both all the time, it may not be cheap. And the latter can be time consuming.

Also, I'm a sucker for homemade guacamole.

Pizza, hands down. The crust is like a canvas waiting for me to paint on it.

I love to cook and enjoy tackling recipes of all difficulty levels. My favorite easy dish involves taking Emeril Lagasse's Frog Legs Sauce Piquante recipe (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/frog-legs-sauce-piquante-recipe.html) and substituting tofu for the frog legs. You can substitute chicken or rabbit as well. If you use tofu, I recommend cooking it separately for a bit first (grill, bake, fry, whatever you'd like) to ensure the tofu keeps its shape. Extra firm tofu will work best for this. :)

Re: what's your favorite thing to cook?

[ryttu3k]

...Ooh. That actually sounds really delicious, heh. How do you do the aioli, from scratch or just mixing in garlic with vegannaise or something?

If you want something else with portobellos, I like removing the stems, sauteing them with some leek (or onion, but I prefer leek) and garlic, then mixing in whatever you want - we usually use tinned corn, a bit of Tofutti cream cheese, some soy milk, nutritional yeast, and something extra to give it a bit of flavour - pesto works well, so does miso paste. Slather the mixture on to the portobellos and bake in the oven. They're delicious, and can be used either as a starter (if you have just one) or a main (more than one).

And if you want a much more simple sandwich which is nonetheless tasty as fuck, I recommend hummus, olive tapenade, and sliced tomatoes. In fact, I'm going to go make that for lunch right now :D

Two-ingredient fudge. Mostly because you can swap out different flavors of the two ingredients, or mix in something more, and wind up with a HUGE variety of delicious fudge flavors, and still have it only take about five minutes (not counting the time in the fridge to cool/set).

Anything with MEAT!

Oh, and tea. Lemon tea. Usually chilled.
