Brown lentil, Bacon and onion soupone cup of dried brown onions
4 cups of water
i pack of bacon (250 grams) chopped
oil for frying
one onion chopped
2 stock cubes (i use roasted onion and leek flavor)
smoked Spanish paprika
2-3 cups more water
in a deep saucepan, add the lentils and 4 cups of water (do not add salt to the lentils while they are cooking, they will become hard) on a medium heat bring to boil and then lower the temperature, leave to simmer until the lentils are soft, (fish a couple out and squish them with you finger if they are mushy they are perfect) now add the 2 stock cubes and take off the heat.
in a other pan put about 10 ml of oil, now add the onion, and let it caramelize on a low heat. then add the chopped bacon and cook till done, add the paprika to taste, remember that the smoked Spanish paprika is very strong, so less is more
Now put the lentils back on the heat and add the onions and bacon and the rest of the water, depending on how thick or thin you want the soup. use your own discretion.
now boil this for about 5 to 10 min, just so the flavors can marry, and presto!
you can eat the soup just like that, or if you are like me, you can use a stick blender to blend it till smooth, your choice.
this if a favorite dish of mine, when i don't have time, and who does not have bacon in their freezer for just in case ;)
hope you like it.

tablespoon of mayonnaise (cant taste it, its just a base really, something to make it creamy.)
tablespoon of honey (or a bit more if you like it sweeter)
teaspoon of mustard (or a bit more if you like it mustard-y)
a drop or white vinegar
mix til its a nice creamy light yellow and enjoy. this is enough for one or two people, but only one serving. its an easy make though, so if you need to make more just up the measurements a bit and go with taste testing.
Homemade French fries.
Cut the potatoes in anyway you like them. (Like chips, like fries, wedges.)
Put some oil in a pan on the stove.
Wait until the oil heats up. Then put cut potatoes in.
Cook until desired golden brown. Remove each and put on a few pieces of paper towel or in a strainer to drain some of the grease.
(I usually eat them with ranch. XD)

what you need
-flour
-milk
-breadcrumbs
-onion
-deep fryer or pan with heated oil deep enough to fry the rings
this is the triple dip recipe. fill a bowl with flour, another with breadcrumbs and another with milk. deep enough so youll be able to cover the rings completely. next, take your rings (cut up the onion into your favourite size rings, i like the thick crunchy ones myself) and dip them individually, first in the milk. once its covered in milk into the flour, then back to the milk, then into the breadcrumbs. now heres the trick to it, one more dip in the milk and then the breadcrumbs. youll end up with a batter covered onion ring just waiting to be fried. it doesnt take long to cook them, fry them til they are a nice golden brown. be very very careful with that hot oil. as i said tho it doesnt take long at all, maybe a minute. then pat off the extra oil with some paper towel so its not too greasy and enjoy.

Works best with a boneless chicken breast. Preheat oven to 350. Melt a qtr cup of butter per chicken breast with garlic chopped or minced. Drench chicken in butter and garlic, leaving a little behind for later use. Cover chicken in breadcrumbs then put it in a metal baking dish. Dont forget to spray or butter the pan so it doesnt stick too bad. Then, put remaining breadcrumbs in leftover butter/garlic sauce, mix and cover the chicken with the crumbly coating. Bake for 45 mins to an hour, keep an eye on it tho as all ovens seem to differ. Enjoy :)

a few tablespoons of parmasan cheese
a few tablespoons of breadcrumbs
your favourite spices
a boneless chicken breast
some minced garlic
some olive or vegetable oil
pour a little oil into a bowl and add some garlic, it depends on how much chicken youre making but i tend to go with about a tablespoon and ahalf of oil per chicken breast, half a teaspoon of garlic per chicken breast.
mix in a separate bowl the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs and spices
dip chicken in oil and garlic til its coated
dip coated chicken into the breadcrumb mix til its covered
add remaining breadcrumb mix to remaining oil and mix
put chicken in a metal or glass baking dish then cover with the mixed breading in an oven at 400 degrees celcius (youll have to convert yourself for my american fahrenheit friends)
bake for 25-30 minutes (til top is golden brown)
done
delicious
