# Beef Goulash
![Beef Goulash](pix/beef-goulash.webp)
Although it takes some time to make - about 1hr 30 minutes, it is actually quite
easy to make, and it is a really hearty and delicious recipe, if I do say so
myself.
## Ingredients
The ingredients here are for about 2-3 portions, depending on your appetite:
* 500g beef
* 300-400g potatoes
* 1 carrot
* 1 medium onion
* 12 tablespoons tomato paste
* 500ml water
* 3-4 garlic cloves
* 3-4 bay leaves
* Curcuma
* Paprika
* Oregano
* Parsley
* Caraway
* Basil (optional)
* Cilantro (optional)
* 2-3 champignon mushrooms (optional)
## Instructions
1. Heat up the frying pan and add some oil.
2. Cut the potatoes into small pieces and fry them on the frying pan over
medium-heat, add some salt.
3. Chop the onion.
4. Cut the beef into small enough pieces and dust with flour.
5. After about 15 minutes of frying the potatoes, add the onions and beef to the
pan and fry for another 10-15 minutes, or until brown.
6. While the beef, potatoes and onions are frying, cut the carrot and mushrooms,
and chop the parsley and cilantro.
7. Once the beef is brown, add water to the pan, and add the rest of the
ingredients, including salt, black pepper and herbs/spices to taste.
8. Mix thoroughly, cover the pan with a lid and stew for about 60-80 minutes
over low-heat. While it is stewing, you can get back to doing some other
things, like watching memes.
9. Remove from stove, serve hot and enjoy with some beer or cider (or your
favorite beverage).

# Cheesy Meatballs with Tomato Sauce
![Cheesy Meatballs with Tomato Sauce](pix/cheesy-meatballs.webp)
Nothing beats meat, cheese and tomato combined together to create the best
combination of flavors that man has created.
## Ingredients
The quantities here are for about two adult portions. That is, if you are also
making some side dish, like in the photo.
For the meatballs:
* 300-400g of ground beef meat
* 1/4 of an onion
* ~70g of cheese; I have made with different cheese types, but usually I use
Gouda
* Parsley
* 1-2 garlic cloves
* 1 egg
* ~1/5 metric cups (~50ml) of bread crumbs
For the sauce:
* 250ml of water
* 8 spoonfuls of tomato paste
* Oregano
* Basil
* Black pepper
## Instructions
1. Beat the egg(s) in a large bowl.
2. Add in the ground beef, and the bread crumbs and mix.
3. Chop the onion into small pieces and add it to the bowl.
4. Mince the garlic cloves and add to the bowl.
5. Dice the parsley leaves and add to the bowl.
6. Salt the beef mix and mix it thoroughly.
7. Cut the cheese into cubes. The amount of cubes you will need will depend on
how many meatballs you make, which depends on how big you want to make the
meatballs. You get the idea.
8. Take a cheese cube and wrap with enough ground meat to completely cover it.
Repeat this process until you've run out of the ground beef mix.
9. Heat the frying pan, add some olive oil, and add the meatballs. Cook over
medium heat rolling the meatballs from time to time until they are slightly
brown from all sides (wait, spheres have no sides).
10. When the meatballs look done, pour the water and tomato paste; add the dried
oregano and basil, and ground black pepper; and salt to taste.
11. Cook over medium-low heat for about ten minutes rolling the meatballs so
that they get completely bathed in tomato sauce.
12. Serve with some side dish and enjoy!

# Country Breakfast Skillet
![Country Breakfast Skillet](pix/country-skillet.webp)
If you are feeling quite hungry after just waking up and want to have a
breakfast to fill your HP and stamina bars for the day, I've got just the
perfect recipe for you.
To be honest, this is more of a build-your-own dish. What I am providing here, I
would say, is more of a starting point and you're more than welcome to add (or
remove) anything you'd like. I also have to say that this is not exclusively a
breakfast dish, I've had it for breakfast, for lunch, for supper, for dinner,
etc. Although, I guess when you're a student just any food at any time of the
day will do.
## Ingredients
Since I more often than not cook this only for myself, the ingredient list below
is calculated for one person. Once more, this is not a strict ingredient list,
so you can really add anything you want. I would say that the only ingredients
that are a most are the eggs and the potatoes. The rest of the ingredients I
will mark with * for the ones that I usually use, and ** for ingredients that I
have used, but seldom use.
* 2 eggs
* 2 small/medium-sized potatoes
* Salt
* Black pepper
* 4-6 bacon stripes*
* ½ an onion*
* Cheese (I usually use Gouda)*
* Paprika*
* A couple of Champignon 'shrooms**
* Some slices of bell pepper**
## Instructions
1. Cut the bacon into pieces and fry it on a pan.
2. Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
3. After frying the bacon, set aside and use the bacon grease to fry the
potatoes over medium/medium-low heat for about 20 minutes.
4. Add some salt and paprika to the potatoes, mix well and cook for another ten
minutes.
5. Cut the onions and add them to the frying pan. Cook for about five minutes.
6. If you decide to add some vegetables, like mushrooms or peppers, add them
now.
7. Now, there are two ways you can cook the eggs.*
* Beat the eggs in a bowl and the pour them onto the pan.
* Or just crack the eggs directly on the mix in the pan and mix everything
thoroughly.
8. Cut the cheese into small slices and add it.
9. Cook for a couple of minutes more, until eggs are cooked enough. Don't let
the eggs dry (unless that's the way you like your eggs ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯).
10. For the final touch, chop the parsley (or whatever other spices/herbs you
decided to use) and add it on top.
11. Serve hot and add some freshly ground pepper.
\*Personally, I prefer to beat the eggs first in a bowl before adding them to the
frying pan.

# Creamy Mashed Potatoes
![Creamy Mashed Potatoes](pix/creamy-mashed-potatoes.webp)
Mashed potatoes is a really great recipe that is often relegated to the position
of side dish. This recipe is a spin of the classical mashed potatoes recipe
that's got itself more going on. You can serve this dish for a relatively light
meal, or you can also serve it as a side dish if you want to have a really
hearty meal.
## Ingredients
The quantities here are for about four adult portions. If you are planning on
eating this as a side dish, it might be more like 6-8 portions.
* 1kg potatoes
* 200ml milk*
* 200ml mayonnaise*
* ~100g cheese
* Garlic powder
* 12-16 strips of bacon
* Butter
* 3-4 green onions
* Black pepper
* Salt
\*You can play with the proportions depending on how creamy or dry you want the
mashed potatoes to be.
## Instructions
1. Peel and cut the potatoes into medium sized pieces.
2. Put the potatoes in a pot with some water so that it covers the potatoes and
boil them for about 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
3. About ten minutes before removing the potatoes from the boiling water, cut
the bacon into little pieces and fry it.
4. Warm up the milk and mayonnaise.
5. Shred the cheese.
6. When the potatoes are done, remove all water from the pot, add the warm milk
and mayonnaise mix, add some butter, and mash with a potato masher or a
blender.
7. Add some salt, black pepper and garlic powder to taste and continue mashing
the mix.
8. Once the mix is somewhat homogeneous and the potatoes are properly mashed,
add the shredded cheese and fried bacon and mix a little.
9. Serve and top with chopped green onions.

# Fresh Guacamole
![Fresh Guacamole](pix/guacamole.webp)
A nice recipe that functions as a delicious and fresh appetizer, best eaten with
some totopos corn chips, especially in a hot summer day.
## Ingredients
Here are the ingredients for about two adult portions:
* 2 Hass avocados
* 1/4 medium onion
* 1 small tomato
* Cilantro
* 1 lime
And of course, some totopos to eat with.
## Instructions
1. Cut the avocados in half, open them and place the pulp in a bowl.
2. Mash the avocados, add lime juice, mix and mash some more.
3. Mince the cilantro, tomato and onion and add them to the avocado mix.
4. Add salt and black pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.
5. Enjoy fresh with some totopos!
This recipe is best consumed fresh, since the avocado oxidizes pretty fast and
might lose its appetizing color and texture in just some hours.

# Merchant's Buckwheat
![Merchant's Buckwheat](pix/merchants-buckwheat.webp)
Buckwheat is not very popular outside Russia, the former USSR, and some Asian
countries; but it is a nice grain full of nutrients which can be used to prepare
delicious and nutritious dishes.
## Ingredients
The ingredients below are for 2 hearty portions.
* 400g pork meat
* 1/2 metric cup (~125ml) buckwheat
* 1 1/5 metric cup (~300ml) water
* 1 medium-sized carrot
* 1 small onion
* 6-8 tablespoons tomato paste
* Wheat flour
* Curcuma
* Chili powder (optional)
* 3-4 garlic cloves
* Parsley
* 3-4 bay leaves
## Instructions
1. Chop the onion and cut the pork into small pieces.
2. Dust the pork with some flour. I sometimes like to do this once I've added
the pork to the pan, just because I am lazy and I haven't noticed much
difference between either approach.
3. Heat the frying pan add a bit of oil, add the pork and onion, and fry for
about 10-15 minutes over medium-high heat.
4. While the pork and onion are being fried, cut the carrot into small pieces
and chop the parsley.
5. Once the pork and onion are fried, add the water, tomato paste, buckwheat and
carrots.
6. Add curcuma, chili powder, salt and black pepper to taste; mix thoroughly.
7. Add in the garlic cloves, bay leaves and chopped parsley.
8. Once the water is boiling, close the pan with a lid and stew for about 25
minutes over low heat.
9. Serve hot and enjoy!

# Pan-seared Chicken Fillet
![Juicy Pan-seared Chicken Fillet](pix/pan-seared-chicken.webp)
This is a quick and easy recipe to prepare delicious chicken fillets that are
juicy on the inside, and crisp on the outside.
## Ingredients
For this recipe I don't use any exact proportions, it's just a matter of cooking
it one time to get a sense of what the ideal proportions for you are.
* Chicken fillet(s); I normally use chicken breasts
* Wheat flour
* Paprika
* Garlic powder
* Herbes de Provence
## Instructions
1. Rinse the chicken fillets.
2. Remove excess moisture from the fillets by patting them with a paper towel.
3. If the fillets are too thick, cut them in half.
3. In a small container, pout enough flour and mix in paprika, garlic powder,
Provence herbs, salt, and black pepper to your liking.
4. Add a little cooking oil to the pan and heat it up to medium-high heat.
5. Coat the fillets by rolling them in the wheat mix.
6. Once the pan is hot, put the fillets on the pan and sear each side for about
5 minutes over medium-high heat.
7. As a final tip, if your fillet is too thick after all, you can just lower the
heat at the end and cook it for about 2-3 more minutes.
8. And that's it. Winner winner chicken dinner!

# Pasta Navy Style
![Pasta Navy Style](pix/pasta-navy-style.webp)
This is one of the three pasta dishes that I usually cook. It's a Russian pasta
recipe that is fast and easy to make and is quite tasty.
## Ingredients
Here are the ingredients for about two hearty adult portions:
* 250g pasta. Usually I prefer to use fusilli or penne, but any short-cut pasta
should do.

* 1/2 onion
* 2-3 garlic cloves

## Instructions
1. Add olive oil to your frying pan, heat it to medium-high heat.

a bit with the onions in the pan.
4. When the meat is almost done, mince the garlic and add it together with the
cumin and paprika to the pan.
5. Cook the pasta in a pot until its done al dente while the beef is being
cooked.
6. Grate the tomatoes over the pan using a grater with small-sized slots, in
such a way that the tomato paste and juice falls right away from the grater
to the pan.
7. Grate the carrot using a grater with medium-sized slots and add it to the
pan.
8. Salt some more to taste, and add some black pepper to taste, mix.

# Refried Beans
![Refried Beans](pix/refried-beans.webp)
One of my favorite dishes that works either as an appetizer or side dish is
refried beans. A classic from Mexican cuisine, that is best eaten with some
totopos, or tortilla chips.
## Ingredients
As usual, the ingredients here are for about two adult portions:
* 400-500g can of pre-cooked beans
* 1/4 onion
* 3-4 garlic cloves
* Cumin
* Paprika
* 2-4 spoonfuls butter
* Cooking oil (can be olive oil)
## Instructions
1. Add the oil and the butter to the frying pan and heat to medium heat.
2. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
3. Once the frying pan is heated, add the onion and garlic to the pan, and fry
them for about 3 minutes.
4. Add salt, cumin, and paprika to taste. Usually I add paprika until the mix is
a brownish red. Mix with your spatula, and let fry for about 5 minutes.
5. Open the can of beans and pour the beans into the pan. Depending on how
liquid you want the refried beans to be, you can use all or just some part of
the liquid inside the can. I usually get rid of some of the liquid from the
can before pouring the beans.
6. Mash the beans and mix. Let them fry at medium-low to medium heat for about 5
to 10 minutes, mixing from time to time.
7. Serve, and enjoy with some totopos.

# Sunday Morning Milkshake
![Sunday Morning Milkshake](pix/sunday-milkshake.webp)
A sweet and refreshing milkshake that barely requires any effort to make. You're
not required to make it and drink it on Sunday, it was just almost a tradition
in my family to make it on the weekends, and it somehow does taste better on a
Saturday or Sunday morning.
## Ingredients
These are for about 4 glasses or 1 liter:
* 1 banana (or 2 if they are small)
* ~120 grams of berries. Can be any berries you like.
* <1 liter of milk
* Vanilla
* Sugar
## Instructions
1. Chop the banana so that it fits better in the blender.
2. Add the banana pieces, berries, vanilla and sugar to taste to the blender.
Usually I use about 6 tea spoons of sugar.
3. Pour enough milk so that the mix fills a liter of the blender volume.
4. Blend it until the mix looks somewhat homogeneous.
5. Pour it and enjoy!
Basically anything is better consumed fresh, but it is especially the case for
this milkshake recipe. If you leave it sitting for more than 10-15 minutes it
won't be so delicious anymore.
