Ohhhh fantastic thread! There are several that I could mention, but the one I think I've made the most is my favourite comfort food: rice pudding!

Creamy Rice Pudding
Prep Time: 25 Minutes * Cook Time: 20 Minutes * Ready In: 45 Minutes (approximately)

Ingredients:
* 1 1/2 cups water
* 3/4 cup uncooked white rice (I like short grain, medium is also acceptable. Long grain not recommended.)
* 1 1/2 & 1/2 cups milk
* 1/3 cup white sugar
* 1/8 & 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1 egg, beaten
* 2/3 cup golden raisins (optional)
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1/4 & 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:
1) Wash rice in cold water until water turns mostly clear, usually 3-5 times. (This removed excess starch which will keep the pudding creamy, not hard.)
2) In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add rice and 1/8 salt, stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer (minimum heat) for 20 minutes.
3) Add 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar, 1/4 salt and 1/4 vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, about 15-20 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk, beaten egg and raisins. Cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Serve warm.

NOTE:
* This recipe may be made using Splenda instead of sugar. Use 1/3 the amount. This is an easy way to enjoy this creamy rice pudding but cut down on the sugar and calories.
* If desired, prior to serving, add a dash of ground cinnamon or a small pinch of nutmeg to each bowl for flavour.

After I thaw them by running then under cold water, I mix them with some old bay seasoning, salt, and a little sugar. I then sear with a little oil on both sides until they are done.

Heres a little thing I like to do with that leftover salmon.

Salmon Cakes

1 filet Salmon cooked
about 1/2 cup Hellmans
about a dozen sweet or bread and butter pickle slices, and a couple Tbs. juice
1 sm. onion
a couple cloves of garlic
some of your favorite spices(I use salt, pepper, curry, and paprika or smoked paprika. Maybe a little old bay.)
1 egg
about 6 or 8 Ritz Crackers or 1/2cup breadcrums.

As I'm sure you all noticed I'm a stickler for the measuring thing too. Mince the onion and the pickle chips. Mix them in a bowl with the salmon, spices and Hellmans. I do like to add a couple Tbs whipped philly cream cheese, gives a nice Texture. Toss in the egg and mix. Add Ritz to bring it together, however, remember if its too dry the finished product falls apart. Form the mixture into patties and pan fry in a thin layer of light oil or butter.

I always ate well when I was a bachelor (no frozen meals, etc) and it impresses the hell out of the ladies when you can cook them an amazing meal.

Anyways, here's one of my favorites for making super delicious juicy hamburgers. It may seem weird, but try it, I promise they'll be one of the best homemade burgers you've ever eaten!!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 large egg
• Italian bread crumbs

I recommend wearing gloves for this. In a large bowl combine meat, egg, and ~1/2 cup of bread crumbs. Mix them together by hand. Add more bread crumbs and mix until the beef is sort of like a paste in consistency. You want it to still be plenty of moist, but it shouldn't feel very wet; meat should clump together and stay together when pressed. I never have measured out how much bread crumbs I add, always go by feel.

Divide into 4 patties and then grill them how much you like them to be cooked. I personally like to do medium - just a slight tint of pink on the inside. Serve with however you like your burgers.

With this recipe the egg adds a lot of moisture so the burgers don't dry out when they cook, and the italian bread crumbs help hold it together and give a little flavor as well. Enjoy!!

These sound great simple is sometimes better. I don't eat alot of red meat so if there are any others who look to the lighter side of ground meats...

Not so Turkey, Turkey Burgers(I can't stand a burger that tastes like Thanksgiving leftovers.)

1lb Ground Turkey
1 sm Bell Pepper(Green or Colored)
1 sm or 1/2 med Onion
3-5 cloves garlic
W sauce
italian seasoning
smoked peprika
salt and pepper

Mince the bell pepper, onion, garlic(very small) Mix veggies with ground turkey, shake in some W sauce and spices. sometimes I'll use some breadcrums if the mixture is too wet.

This takes a little to prepare so I usually do it in bulk and freeze the burgers in Ziplocks sepparated by wax paper.

I've got a couple others but its late, and this is getting to be a long post g'night all. :)

Grab a bowl, make sure that it is just big enough to sit in your lap while you are typing on the forum.

Grab a jug of milk, keep with you at all times even while eating.

Grab a box of Lucky charms, then add milk, and your done!
