[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 687043, member: 18958"] If you like fish, say Tilapia which is cheap, put it in foil, with any seasoning you like, and a bit of salt and a tiny bit of olive oil. I use chopped onions and a little minced garlic. Either cook the fish on a grill or in the oven in a pie plate. Up to 20 minutes or so. If on a grill, turn it once. You can do the same thing with a chicken breast. Make french fries in the oven. Turn oven to 450. To make it easier leave the skin on the potato and cut it into french fry wedges. Toss on a cookie sheet on which you have put some olive oil. Salt and garlic powder. Bake until golden. Vegetables can be cooked this way: Carrots are good. You can roast tomatoes and peppers the same way but at 350. Sweet potatoes are good. Put them on foil because they weep sugary juice. Make a seasoning powder with cumin, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder. Maybe 1 T garlic powder. 2 teaspoons onion powder. I teaspoon cumin, 1 t paprika and, cayenne to taste. Sprinkle on chicken thighs or drumsticks. Bake at 350 until golden brown. You can start out at 450 for 15 minutes if you want to speed up the process. To roast a whole chicken wash it inside and out and salt the cavity. Preheat the oven to 425 or 450. Put inside of the cavity, herbs such as thyme. Also put in the cavity up to a head of garlic (if you like it), and/or an onion. Some people use a whole lemon. Rub the skin with olive oil. Salt and sprinkle more thyme or whatever herb you may have. (Basil, Tarragon, a little Marjoram or Oregano, for example.) Put the chicken breast side down in a pan. I use a heavy cast iron one. Roast 20 minutes at high heat. It accelerates the process and it seals the skin so the juices stay in. Then reduce the temperature to 350. Depending upon the size of the chicken it will be done in 1 hour more or less. I get larger ones which are done in 1 hour 10 min. Salad dressing: Take a few cloves of garlic and smash them and put them in a small bowl with a quarter cup of olive oil. Buy balsamic vinegar say at costco and add 2 T *or to taste, to the oil. Add salt and pepper. Let it sit for half a hour and take the garlic out. It will last covered a couple of days. Quesadillas--any cheese will do.
