Foodbook

A list of the varied things I’ve tested out throughout college campus days and also currently that I want to remember through a combo of Pinterest recipes and also me watching YouTube cooking videos

Notes: I am not a chef and I employ “we ball” to the cooking process, so best to look up a recipe book instead of trying to follow my rambles. Know your limits and all that, don’t do everything you see on the internet without checking it first.

This is like the most disorganized food book anyone will ever see in their life lol And before I go any further, I'll link back to recipes that has actual followable recipes versus me just cooking on a whim.

• Recipes

Sriracha + Mayo+ honey mustard+ Pickle Juice
I like to call this one the pickler

If you do not like pickle juice you can simply not use it
Kewpie Mayo is pretty good, I usually use that. Sometimes a lemon is good too for pickler variants

Hot Sauce+ Honey Mustard Idk how to describe this one, I kinda just threw it in to make like, a thick hot sauce

Ramen

Probably like, the most versatile thing here Sometimes I throw in Peanut Butter Sometimes I throw in eggs You can throw in vegetables and tofu and meat and usually it’ll work It’s like pasta but with less steps if it’s precooked
I don’t know how to cook eggs because I like them burnt far too much to recommend cooking them
Instant cup ramen though sometimes I’d throw in like, honey mustard Also it is so much easier when you have an instant water kettle like my roommate used to have I’d use the extra water to make tea
If you get a lot of Mac and cheese boxed then you basically just have free pasta (i don’t like cheese)
Curry

This one’s a lot of moving parts and if you’ll recall one time I was so out of it I just reused water to cook the curry I mostly followed the recipe from here: Okonomi Kitchen I don’t have curry roux so I used to make it from scratch and just use like, actual curry powder So there’s onions, garlic, ginger, apple (either apple sauce, I blended mine), I skipped some steps though and ended up with a curry sauce There’s also flour to thicken but sub out with rice flour for gluten free

Chicken Curry It’s versatile so i just throw in vegetables so there’s a thing

Salmon

I mostly just used a canned salmon + eggs for this one It was on the same level of mixing like sardines and eggs but instead of frying them I put it in the oven There was also a mix of onions and spinach
I’ve cooked eggs before where I put them in a muffin tin where I made egg bites, I probably should’ve done that with the salmon instead of laying them flat out like brownies
I’ve been seeing like this sushi bake recipe online lately The bake involves imitation crab and cream cheese but i found a version that skips the cream cheese
Mayo+ soy sauce + sriracha + sesame oil Substitute the soy sauce with coconut aminos for gluten free
My favorite random college encounter meal was that time they had like Dorito tacos which were just nachos but they put them and taco stuff in a Dorito bag

Why does every recipe site have a long winded intro

Use this to skip the stuff

I used to always cook green bean casserole and sweet potato bake for thanksgiving. No one ever ate them so I’m finding the recipes online again to show here. Off the top of my mind, the green bean one was that, those little crispy onions, and cream of mushroom soup The sweet potato bake involved like, cinnamon and marshmallows

Green Beans Sweet Potatoes

Spring rolls and corn tortilla rolls are good for gluten free substitutes Spring roll isn’t really what would be used regularly though since it’s like, a rice roll. It has to be wet and there’s like a peanut sauce…? There's a recipe called summer roll, I had it once in my dorm.

We used to get hello fresh a bit during the pandemic but they also just have all their recipes online without a subscription or anythingHello Fresh Air fryer:

Clearly you dont own an air fryer meme I didn't own one either, it's a secondhand one.

Making egg toast where you cut a piece of the bread out in a hole is revolutionary with an air fryer Just remember to have the parchment paper weighed down or the food will fly all over.

Blenders are awesome but you gotta watch out for stuff that makes things thick like yogurt because the consistency can get messed up pretty quick if you don’t know what you’re doing (me!)

Making coffee jelly is apparently like adding powdered gelatin mix/ agar/kanten mix to coffee but I don’t even like coffee or Jelly like that Also it has to cool for hours
Could you make tea jelly like that, I wonder…

Mug food

Idk, I’ve only microwaved an egg like once or twice and usually they blew up The best mug food is the one that already is packaged as that imo

Peppermint candies in hot chocolate makes that shit minty!!

Milk Milk and Honey and Cinnamon is so good

Green tea powder and like, water bottle mixes in general are great if you aren’t a water enjoyer because sometimes bottle water is just that

Pull apart bread/monkey bread Bread (or biscuit mix) Plus cinnamon, sugar, and any other like sugar spice combo (I used pumpkin spice) Put together the cinnamon sugar and stuff Then you mix the bread in

The hardest part for me was like the cooking time ratio since I was winging it with already made bread Also there is butter to be added to melt on top of the bread And milk Depending on how like… dry you want the bread to be. Tbh mine came out a bit soppy but that’s because I didn’t measure the milk.

I’ve never had overnight oats before Idk
