Made my first crumble of the year with fruit picked fresh from the fields.

Apple & Blackberry Crumble

Ingredients:

6 Apples (any variety) If using cooking apples, soak them in boiling water for 20 minutes
1 bowl of blackberries
Brown Sugar
Butter
Flower
Oats (optional)

Chop the apples into slices (peel the skin if you like a smooth crumble, leave it on if you like a little texture), put a layer of apple in a baking dish, sprinkle with sugar, repeat, until all apples are in dish.

Dice butter, put in bowl with a little flour and sugar and oats (optional) and mix with hands until the crumbs no longer stick to your hands. Cover apples in dish with crumbs. Sprinkle with layer of sugar. Throw it in the over on 200C for 30-45 minutes.

I've not included measurements, as I do it by eye. But you can't go wrong.

So tasty.

Alright it's that time of year again. Give me a recipe that's cheap and uses five or less ingredients (not counting spices). Preferably healthy or veg heavy.

Slow cooker:

Shoulder roast
Tomatoes
Carrots
Onions
Peppers

Salt and spices of choice

Can't go wrong. I like mine to render overnight, much better that way. Bonus for fresh cut spices you grew yourself

Impossible.

Wait, I got one.

1 box Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
1 can of drained tuna fish
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Lots of fresh ground black pepper
2 cloves minced garlic

Cook the mac and cheese per box directions but leave a bit al dente.

Combine the M&C, tuna, pepper, and garlic and put it into a greased baking pan.

Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top.

Bake at 425 degrees for about 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the breadcrumbs.

Voila! Poor mans Tuna Casserole. (It's actually really good)

^I used to have a Ramen version of that when I was broke all the time.

Here's a simple, 5 ingredient recipe I enjoy now that I'm not broke all the time:

1 porterhouse steak
salt
pepper
cooking oil
butter

Let steak sit at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking, which will help it cook quickly and more evenly.
Heat broiler. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat, then heat oil in pan until smoking. Season steak very generously with salt and pepper and cook until a deep brown crust forms on underside (do not turn), about 4 minutes. Transfer steak to a cutting board, turning it browned side up.

Cut meat from bone in 2 pieces (strip steak and filet mignon). Slice both pieces straight down perpendicular to the bone 1” thick. Replace sliced steak around the bone (it should look like a whole sliced steak) and return to skillet, browned side up. Top with butter and broil until butter is melted and steak is medium-rare, 4–6 minutes. Serve steak with buttery pan juices spooned over.

Flour tortilla
Cucumber
Cream Cheese
Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix (the dry powder)

just spread a friendly layer of cream cheese on a tortilla, cut a handful of cucumber slices and place upon the tortilla. Sprinkle on the dressing mix. It's delicious, easy, *and* cheap. kinda like a poor man's cucumber sandwich.

Banana Milkshake

1 Banana
2/3 glass of milk
pinch of cinnamon

Chuck it all in a blender. So simple. So sweet and tasty. So much nicer than any chemical substitute.
