CARNIVAL FOR COOKING FOR THOSE WHO DON'T -- II IS ON

 Signal boosting from Commodorified. See http://cookingforpeoplewhodont.dreamwidth.org/1348.html


Theme: Half-Homemade

Fresh fruit filling in storebought pastry, pasta sauce from a jar with 10 extra ingredients added, packet soup respiced to suit your own tastes ... 

half homemade: curry, meat pie

 A few of mine:

CURRY ETC. Bring home a take-out of a very spicy curry dish. Add canned coconut milk, some chopped meat and veg -- that makes several servings of mildly spicy curry.

Same with a boxed spicy entree from the grocery store. (Tasty Bite used to be good for this, though lately they've got too mild.) A boxed spicy dal makini could combine with a can of Progresso lentil soup.)

--------------------

BASTARD BEEF WELLINGTON: Buy frozen pie crust and a soft spreadable sausage such as Braunswiger. Spread the sausage around a piece of steak. Enclose the steak in the pie crust and bake.
