What’s your favorite 3-ingredient breakfast?

One of my favorite quick meals is couscous. I got the boxed kind b/c it was on sale for 10/$10.

• boil frozen broccoli in just enough water to cover it until cooked (~ 5 min total). remove, drain, set aside

• boil water/butter/spice packet for couscous, then turn off heat, add couscous, and cover. Leave for 5 min.

• While couscous is finishing cooking, cook eggs however you like.

• Mix broccoli, couscous, and eggs together.

• Bon appetit! (my pic has a toasted baguette that I also added to the meal, toasted it while cooking)

• Total cook time was about 15 min.

This is something I saw Gordon Ramsey do. Here is the video
-Get a few heads of broccoli.
-Chop it into florets.
-Boil just until tender.
-Put broccoli in a blender and add some of the water you boiled it in.
-Blend until you have a nice even, smooth consistency.(You can add more water if its still too chunky)
-Garnish with a couple slices of goat cheese and walnuts in the middle.

After seeing the Simple, fast veggie burrito on here, I thought I would share my simple veggie fajitas.

I can't really call it a recipe as it's basic fajitas, but you can switch things around a bit.

• Half a red pepper

• Half a green pepper

• Half an onion

• Sour cream

• Tomato sauce

• Guacamole

• Chilli powder

• Grated cheese of your choosing/liking

Should be enough for four fajitas. Two for me and two for the girlfriend.

Fry up the peppers and onions with some chilli powder on them. I then make the four fajitas, but you could always do it restaurant style and build them at the table.

The nice thing about this is varying the quantity of guacamole, grated cheese and tomato sauce, I can make a lighter or heavier set of fajitas.

I used to use a spicy taco seasoning, but found it makes us feel more full after the meal. But replacing it with a bit of chilli powder hasn't detracted from the loveliness.

One egg, dash of soy sauce and sugar. Just fry and scramble like scrambled eggs.

It sounds gross but turns out its like the best thing ever! I can't remember who posted it but I finally tried it and it's amazing!

This salad is good by itself, or as a sandwich filling. I just whipped it up and I'm having a hard time not eating all of it. I got it from this recipe here, but I took out the olives and parsley because I had neither of them and olives are expensive. So:

You'll need:

• 1 15-oz can of chickpeas

• Zest of half a lemon

• Juice of half a lemon

• 1 Tablespoon of finely chopped red onion

• Salt (about two big pinches)

• Black pepper

• Olive oil

• Parsley (optional)

Put everything except the olive oil in a bowl and mix it up. Use the back of a fork or spoon, or a potato masher, to smash the chickpeas. You're not trying to puree them or anything, just give them a short, rough mash. Then, add a couple glugs of olive oil depending on how oily you want it.

And enjoy! I put it on a piece of toast along with some thin slices of cucumber and a little cheese, but I think I like it better on its own.

What you need:

• Carrot

• Celery

• Onion

• Canned Beans

• Water

• Spices

Chop carrot, celery, and onion and saute them in a saucepan. (Sometimes I use butter, sometimes oil.) Then add water and simmer until soft. Then add a can of black beans, and some chili powder and cumin and salt, and simmer a little longer. Then blend.

This is super simple, but it's better and easier than you'd think. There are many opportunities for variation, too. You could add a chopped jalapeno, or other flavorful vegetable, at the beginning. I like to add a chopped potato, because when you blend it at the end the starch will make the soup thick. You could top with herbs, cream, or cheese.

1 can of full-fat coconut milk
3 tablespoons unsalted peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1/4 cup water

Mix ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. At first, the peanut butter and coconut fat will not mix in, but as the sauce warms, they will become liquid. When the sauce is smooth and at the consistency you want, it's done.

Pour this sauce on noodles which have just been cooked and serve immediately. Or mix it with chopped and steamed vegetables and pour it over rice. Don't let it stand cool too long, as it will form a skin on the surface--it will still taste fine, but it doesn't look appetizing.

It is so simple and tasty I am ashamed I haven't thought off this earlier!

Just put water in a cup, bring it to boil, then put some vinegar (optional) and salt in the water and add an egg or two. Put it back in the microwave for 20-40 seconds and you're DONE! It still amazes me.

Got some nice tricks like this yourself?
