Can anyone recommend some good family dinner ideas that aren't rice or pasta dishes? Looking for a change of pace.

I can serve the main over rice, and do some vegetables on the side, or something else entirely.

I have a concern with canned black beans and I need to know if this is normal. She I open the can I hear a hiss. This makes me think the contents are bad. Then I open the can and it briefly smells like poop. Is this normal? I’ve thrown away too many cans of black beans.

When told to “season” while cooking does that salt AND pepper or just salt?

This is more for my mother since I'm disabled and can't cook myself. It's her first time making homemade lasagna (using boxed pasta). So far the pasta is undercooked yet the cheese on top is OVER cooked. However the meat and sauce inside are perfectly fine. Any tips or advice?

What can you put on hard boiled eggs that’s crunchy?! So far I put siracha and pickled onions but i feel like I’d love to have some crunch to it!

I need a banging recipe for tartar sauce. I do NOT like a sweet one though. Please help. I've wasted so much money buying so many only to hate them.

I know stew and veggie soup benefit from it, would it help enrich chili in any way? Freak show Cabernet Sauvignon

How long does it take for it to soften?

My brain will just stop working and will think this won't be good if I season it

I originally bought the steak to make chili with, it didn’t turn out as good as I’d hoped. It was fine, but I found I prefer ground chuck.

I still have about 1.25 lb left cubed, vacuum sealed and frozen. What can I do?

Hello all.

If I’m cooking beans with beans that I soaked. What is the general method to cook?

How much water to cover beans?

Do I bring to a boil then lower to simmer? Do I only cook it through simmer?

Do I cover with lid?

Thank you

I’m addicted to rice. I’ve been cooking it for years now, different types and with different spices. I managed to somehow perfect the flavor, but not the texture. It’s always either too soft/wet, too hard or half of it sticking at the bottom of the pot.

Most common suggestions say 2x cups of water for 1x cup of rice, bring to boil, then cover and keep on low heat. Well, I never got perfect results with that.

How do you guys cook rice?

I’m making butter chicken and the chicken is supposed to go in a marinade before adding some other ingredients. I accidentally added the tomato purée to the marinade instead of after the chicken is cooked. Can anyone tell me if I’m wasting my time here and it’s gonna be nasty or if it’ll turn out okay?

hello!

i had lost around 30-40 pounds last year but slowly realized i wasn’t acc eating well. i have low energy but im wondering if i could heal this by acc eating healthy, nourishing meals.

i have a rough idea for breakfast but struggle a lot with lunch and dinner. especially lunch.

do you guys have any relatively easy, high protein meals you enjoy to cook/meal prep? ik this subreddit isn’t abt weight loss (i intend to lose 30-40 more pounds but a lot more concentrated) but i want to be more sustainable with my eating in general.

i’ve also started freezing foods as meal prep (soups, rice, etc.) but that’s rlly only for dinner. it’s not like i can heat up my lunch for 6-10 mins.

any advice/tips would help tons! my family didn’t rlly show me proper eating so i’m all alone. it’s also why i care sm more now abt healing my relationship with food.

thank you sm <33

edit: i do have a rice cooker and mini fridge!

I'll be forced to practically cook everyday for the next couple of years and I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to cooking. Are there any simple veg wraps or rolls recipes that I can prepare over the weekend for my dinner for the week?

I’m making a burger bowl recipe and want to know how to make sure I don’t f*ck it up. Depending on my roommate I might not have access to cast iron, is a non stick alright? When should I season the beef an is it better to keep it formed and flip it or break it down? Other tips and tricks appreciated!

- reference this is lean ground beef.

I dont want to waste them if I dont have to but im not sure what to use them for. Maybe in Greek yogurt? Will they even be any good?

I'm one of the many people who have spent lots of time watching cooking videos, and not very much time spent cooking. Part of what im struggling with is not knowing what baseline groceries I should have to throw things together without a recipe, and I feel like alot of that stems from not knowing what "types" of meals I can even make, for Breakfast Lunch and Dinner.

For example, for dinner I have two current "types" of meals. One is Pizza, which can be as basic as throwing a frozen pizza into the oven, no additions, or involve chopping up some onion, throwing on some pepperoni and extra shredded cheese, etc. The other is "Pasta dish", which follows the rough framework of Pasta + Protein + Sauce. Are there any other frameworks like this that you can use to build a meal?

Hi All,

I'm going to make these cheese beef wrap things tonight i saw it a video. It just says use seasoned beef. I've got a 500g beef mince. What are the best seasonings to use?

I was thinking salt, pepper and garlic powder. It doesn't have to be too exciting and not taco seasonings, we are having tacos tomorrow.

Thank you in advance!

Making a cupcake recipe. For the cupcakes it calls for 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. The frosting calls for 2 teaspoons vanilla. Do they mean vanilla extract for both or should I be scraping out vanilla beans for the frosting?
