Toucannor cheffing it up!

You have to eat food 3 times a day, it might as well taste good. Thats why I started to get better at cooking. Take a look at some of my staple meals.


Penne Pasta w/ Chicken

This is my go to meal for dinner and I make it quite often, because it is simple to make and tastes great. What's best about this dish is how versatile it is. It only really has a few basic ingredients and you can omit some and add others in whichever way you’d like and it will still taste good. I have had this with red peppers or mushrooms, and even without the spinach or chicken. How this dish works is the garlic and tomatoes. The flavor is going to come from the garlic. Start by cooking your chicken on medium high in oil, getting both sides a nice color. Then add the garlic and some more oil and set the stove to a medium. Make sure to brown the garlic, but be careful not to burn it. Once the garlic starts to get brown, add in chopped tomatoes. You want to cook the tomatoes until they start to liquify, this will create the nice sauce that makes this dish. Be sure not to cook the tomatoes too long or else they will disintegrate. Once that sauce starts to form, add in the spinach and turn the stove to low and stir it around until the spinach is cooked, then add the penne pasta. Season the chicken and tomatoes before you put them on the stove.

Spaghetti Alla Connor

This is my (soon to be) famous Spaghetti with meat sauce. Since I was a child, spaghetti has been my favorite food, stemming from my Italian heritage I assume. I have had many spaghetti dishes in my life, ranging from the fancy restaurant kind, all the way to the spaghetti-os (an abomination). I wanted to make a spaghetti that is tailored to my tastes, and while I am still experimenting on what works best, this is the usual recipe I go with. Start by cooking about a cup of chopped onions and garlic in medium heat til translucent. Then add the ground meat. The secret to my sauce is to season the meat. If you go with the italian sausage you might think it is already seasoned, but it is not seasoned enough! Once the meat is browned, add the can of crushed tomatoes and turn to very low. Taste the sauce as you season it, you’ll know it's seasoned well when it tastes good. Cook for atleast 40 min. Add cooked spaghetti and done :) Oh and you better mix that sauce with the spaghetti, DO NOT place it on top like a moron.

Turkey Sandwhich

This is my basic Turkey Sandwhich I make. A sandwhich is a sum of it's parts, so make sure to get good ingredients. I'd get fresh sub rolls from the bakery for this. A dry sandwhich is a dead sandwhich, so be sure to use enough mayo and olive oil. The secret for a good sandwhich, is to massage olive oil, salt, and pepper into your vegetable toppings. Pair this with some kettle chips and fruit, and you have a outstanding sandwhich to save your lunch.
