So....getting a little adventurous. I'm hungry for food, but not in a want-to-cook sort of way. I don't like cooking just for myself--where's the motivation. So here's what I just tried:
TOASTED an english muffin
SPREAD each side with cottage cheese
ADDED deli meat and cheddar cheese slices on top
MICROWAVED it for 1 minute
The result?
A melty, VERY cheese openfaced sandwich type thing. Surprisingly good! I think I want more meat next time, though. That's a lot of cheese.....

Chicken Spaghetti (Lemony)
I've been in a horrible pasta-craving mood. Well, that and seafood. But, haven't had the means to get seafood, so PASTA!
I cooked a bunch of spaghetti. I have some sort of discount healthy stuff, but it's all delicious. I was just going to make plain old, easy spaghetti:
COOK noodles
ADD sauce
MIX together
EAT
However, the cheating pasta sauce pouch I was planning on using was, upon closer inspection, way past its prime. With the noodles already cooked, what was a girl to do? Well, no fear! A lone can of tomato sauce was magically in the cupboard. I FRIED up some chicken breasts and CUT them into little pieces, SAUTEED a clove of garlic, POURED in the can of sauce, ADDED random amounts of oregano, basil, parsley, a splash of paprika, and too much lemon juice, and simmered before ADDING it all together. It was really good, but you could definitely taste that lemon. I think it'd be fun to try again with less lemon. But I did like the zing, so I won't be taking it out completely. Yay for random made up deliciousness! This is why pasta's so great. Cook pasta, add a sauce, eat. What could be simpler? ^^
Maybe with some onion.....
