Less than Four and Under 20: Ryan Learns How to Cook and So Can You! (Part 2)

I’m not sure why but my last easy cooking post was by far the most popular post to date. So here it is…

Southwest Sweet Potatoes with 4 ingredients in 20 minutes.

  1. Throw some sweet potatoes in the microwave and hit the potatoes button

2.Take a can of corn, black beans, and diced tomatoes and mix together in a bowl

3. Hollow out the potato a little bit and put the mix inside of the sweet potato.  Optional: Add cheese (ingredient #5, I get it). Done!!

Bonus Level!!! Take chicken breast and boil it on the stove for 10ish minutes. Maybe even throw in some taco seasoning?? When it’s ready, shred the chicken and throw it in the sweet potato!

 Idea originally came from lmld.org and I dumbed it down a lot

How to Food: The One Where Ryan Learns How to Cook and Can Teach You Too

Up until this summer, I was pretty spoiled when it came to other people making food for me.

Now I’ve got a rotating list of at least four meals I can make that are healthy-ish, use less than four ingredients, and take less than 20 minutes start to finish. I think I’m going to call it:

Less than Four and Under 20:

Let’s start with my favorite: How to Quesadillas

As promised, it only has four ingredients: tortillas, cheese, chicken, and whatever else you have in the freezer.

Step 1: Cheese and tortilla

Step 2: Chicken

Step 3: The whatever else part. I took a bag of frozen rice and vegetables, put it in the microwave for 5 minutes, and then you’re ready to go.

Step 4: Medium heat, flip it once.

The steps are simple, but you’ll have a fancy finished product; Southwest Vegetable Blended  Quesadilla with Herb-Roasted Chicken 

If you’re not convinced yet, here’s some nutritional facts I made up:

Protein: 20g

Calories: 400

Vegetables? Yes.

Gluten free? Sure.

How to Pizzas: A Close #2

Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Chicken Pizza with Mozzamelt on Fair Trade Pita

 Step 1: Pita bread— I’m really not seeing the difference between pita bread and pizza crust so let’s stick with pita bread (I can’t confirm the fair trade part).

Step 2: Pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and chicken

Step 3: Throw it in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees
