Cotelette a la Milanese
I had this last night at a restaurant and found it absofreakinglutely delicious!
Start by getting your pasta going.
Then get your veal ready.
Take your fine veal cutlet and pass it through some flour, then dip in some eggs + salt + pepper mixture, and then through some breadcrumbs.
Heat up some olive oil and butter until it starts smoking up a bit, then brown your veal on each side 3-4minutes.
Now we'll make the butter-lemon sauce that will go over your veal.
Simple... melt butter, add some lemon and a dash of salt. If you have any white wine, I'd highly recommend it! Be sure to add some parsley at the end.
For your pasta sauce, keep it simple... maybe an alfredo sauce, and the flavors from the veal sauce will balance out nicely.
Delicious.
Go impress someone.

Spaghetti with Spicy Sausage
Ultimate yummiliciousness.
While your spaghetti is cooking, cut up some onions and sweet peppers. Caramelize them for a bit (that means let them cook in olive oil until they get tender and sweet) and then add your spicy sausage.
Now the fun part about the sausage is you get to take it out of the wrapping it comes in! Yes, slightly gross, but kinda fun.Think of it as play-dough.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste. I added a little bit of tabasco at the end because.. well.. come on, everything tastes better with tabasco !

Throw in the sausage into the frying pan and let it brown with the onions and peppers. Add some salt and pepper. Once they're browned, add some cooking cream and let it thicken.

Mini Pizzas
These make awesome appetizers.
Cut up some baguette bread (or whatever you have, baguette just looks fancier) and add some tomato sauce on top.
Brown some ground beef and caramelize some onions. Add them on top of the bread and top off with some cheese.
In the oven they go for a few minutes, and voila!

Chinese Meatballs
These are easy to make an also serve as a stress reliever !
In a bowl mix some ground meat (beef, turkey or pork - I used beef), ground ginger, coriander, onions, soy sauce, oyster sauce, 1 egg, and a dash of pepper. The exact amounts will have to be up to you on this one, just remember how strong all the ingredients you are using are !
Pound the mix like there's no tomorrow (maybe think of an ex?) until it's sticky and you can make meatballs. If you have a deep fryer, this is the right time to use it. If you're like me and don't have one, use a pan with a lot of oil... in the worst of cases, they'll look like really fat patties.

Now you can accompany this with cabbage soup or won ton... or really whatever else you want, the possibilities are endless !
I decided to make some rice with snowpeas and sesame. Again, if your resources allow you to get a hold of sticky rice or even jasmin rice, just your luck.
I gave "sticky rice" my own spin: 5 minute rice (which comes out literally sticky!), a little garlic, ginger and salt. I let the snowpeas cook with it.

At the end, garnish with a little extra sesame... and... enjoy !

Bread Pudding
This was purely an experiment... feel free to make it your experiment too.
Layer some pieces of bread in a baking pan and drizzle some melted butter over it (about a teaspoon)
What kind of bread you ask? It doesn't really matter.
I say the more eccentric you get, the better! Walnut bread, cinnamon raisin bread, even banana bread will do. Cooking is an art, but it isn't science... so be creative. You can't go wrong.
Mix together in a bowl an egg, about 1/3 cup milk (or cream), cinnamon, and vanilla extract. If you used regular bread like I did, this is another chance to get creative. Throw in some pecans, raisins or apple slices.
