   Kedgeree
   175 Gram Long grain rice (6 oz)
   450 Gram Smoked haddock fillets (1 lb)
   2 Eggs, hard-boiled and shelled
   50 Gram Butter (2 oz)
   Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
   Method
   Cook the rice until tender. Drain well and rinse under cold water. Drain again and spread out to dry – this prevents the kedgeree from becoming too stodgy. Meanwhile, put the haddock in a large frying pan with just enough water to cover. Bring to the simmering point, then simmer for 10-15 minutes, until tender. Drain, skin and flake the haddock, discarding any bones.

   Chop one egg and slice the other into rings. melt the butter in a saucepan, add the cooked rice, fish and chopped egg . Stir over a moderate heat for about 5 minutes, until hot. Pile on to a warmed serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley and the sliced egg.

   Recipe to a food with no actual name because it was discovered in a friend’s house. It’s easy to make and pretty cheap.

   Ingredients:
   Macaroni elbows (1 box)
   Cottage cheese (small carton)
   Onions (half of large, chopped)
   Butter

   Boil macaroni elbows at the box’s required time. While the macaroni is boiling, use a skillet to melt about half a stick of butter, maybe a little less, and then sautee the onions until light brown. When both onions and macaroni are done, stir together with cottage cheese until the cottage cheese is melted. If needed after stirring together, use pot used for macaroni to warm the food until cottage cheese is melted.

   Hope this helps, it tastes awesome!

    Here are some great recipes for you. Good luck with your friend! <3

    Easy Zucchini, Tomato, & Cheese Tart
    Ingredients:
    1 sheet (half of a 17-ounce package) frozen puff pastry
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 onion, finely diced
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and thinly sliced
    1 (14-ounce) can ready-cut diced tomatoes, well drained
    3 large eggs
    1 cup grated smoked Gouda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    Generous seasoning freshly ground black pepper
    Preparation:
    Remove the puff pastry from the package and let thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until no longer frozen but still cool.
    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook 5 minutes, or until the onion is slightly tender. Stir in the zucchini and saute just until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Mix in the drained tomatoes and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is tender but not mushy and the juices have evaporated. Let cool.
    Lightly butter a dark-colored 9-inch tart pan with a removable rim or a glass pie plate. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry into an 11-inch square. Fit it into the tart pan or pie plate. Trim off the overhanging pieces of pastry with scissors. Refrigerate the crust, uncovered, for 15 minutes, or up to 8 hours, covered.
    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
    Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese, salt, pepper, and cooled vegetables. Spoon the mixture into the tart pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pastry is brown and a knife inserted in the center of the tart comes out clean. Remove the outer rim of the tart pan. Let the tart cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before slicing. It is best to serve this tart very warm rather than piping hot.

    2 cups old-fashioned oats

    Bake for 10 minutes; stir and bake for 15 minutes more. Remove from oven and toss with dried apples. Let cool completely to crisp. Makes 6 servings.

    Can't Keep 'Em From The Kids Cookies
    Ingredients:
    4 eggs
    3/4 cups margarine
    2 cups sugar
    1 1/2 cups brown sugar
    1 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 cups peanut butter
    3 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoons salt
    7 cups rolled oats, quick
    3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
    3/4 cups pecans or walnuts, chopped
    3/4 cups M&M candies
    Preparation:
    Beat together eggs, margarine, sugars, vanilla and peanut butter. In a separate bowl, mix together baking soda, salt, and oatmeal. Mix into peanut butter mixture. Add chocolate chips, nuts and M&Ms, and stir until well blended. Drop golf ball sized balls of dough on a ungreased cookie sheet and flatten each cookie into a circle shape with the palm of your hand. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes before removing.

    Baked Macaroni & Cheese
    Ingredients:
    8 tbsp. butter
    6 tbsp. flour
    1⁄2 tsp. cayenne pepper
    Salt and freshly ground white pepper
    3 3⁄4 cups hot milk
    4 cups grated cheddar
    1 lb. short macaroni, cooked
    1⁄2 cup heavy cream
    1⁄2 cup fresh bread crumbs
    Preparation:
    Preheat oven to 350°. Melt 6 tbsp. butter in a medium stainless-steel saucepan over low heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes (flour mixture must foam as it cooks, or sauce will taste of raw flour). Stir in cayenne and season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk in hot milk, 1/2 cup at a time, and cook, stirring, until sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low and stir in 2 cups of cheese. Cook, stirring, until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
    Combine pasta and sauce in a large bowl, and season with salt. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over the bottom of a buttered 8" × 11" baking dish. Place one-third of the pasta in the baking dish, top with 1/2 cup of cheese, then repeat, layering pasta and cheese, ending with cheese, making three layers in all.
    Pour cream over assembled macaroni and cheese. Melt remaining butter in a skillet. Add bread crumbs, coat with melted butter, and sprinkle over macaroni and cheese. Bake until crust is golden, about 30 minutes. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving. Serves 6.
