my oldest dd has just now realized that all those times i tried to involve her in the cooking of dinner, and she had no interest, it is now something that she actually would like to know how to do.
i would like to be able to gather together some simple recipes that she will be able to make as a new wife.
i would be eternally grateful for any t-n-t type recipes that you may have in your repertoire that can be prepared by an inexperienced cook who is wanting very much to be able to cook for her new husband.
please?
no allergies, no major dislikes, and i will be getting her a crock pot.
he is a Texas boy, and is used to eating a lot more meat - especially red meat - than we do

Great thread. I know it is a long way away - but one of the things I want to make for my daughter for a wedding gift (if this is her vocation) is a recipe book with our family favorites.
btw - does your daughter have a hope chest?
Pioneer Woman's cooking site has a lot of good meaty recipes (just looking at the pictures makes me hungry) - other sources of inspiration from your library may help: my favorite books are Simply in Season and Martha Stewart's Great Food Fast - both have easy recipes. Also Barefoot Contessa.

My favorite cookbook for the inexperienced cook is The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. The recipes are all very well tested, and it is my go to for everything. You do not need to be an experienced cook to use their recipes with success.
Sorry, but what does t-n-t mean?

Ahhhh, yes! I grew up with those Texas boys!
I have a recipe for pulled BBQ pork made in the crockpot that my Dad and brother love.
In a crockpot, mix 2-3 lbs of pork chops (brown them first, but they don't have to be cooked all the way through), 1 1/2 C. ketchup, 1/2 C. water, 3/4 C. salsa, 1 tsp. cumin, 1 TBL. dried minced onion and 1 tsp. mesquite smoke flavor.
Cook on high 4-6 hours. Stir to help the pork shred when done. Add more ketchup/water if it looks too dry.
Also, this Teriyaki Tenderloin recipe is wonderful and super easy. You can mix the marinade and put it in a baggie with the tenderloin and then freeze them all together until ready to thaw and cook.
This is a recipe that I used to make for my husband when we were first married, but my kids never liked. Her intended might be familiar with it if he knows about the history of the King Ranch.
King Ranch Casserole
1 pkg. corn tortillas
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 C. velveeta cheese
2 Tbl. minced onion
1 C. milk
grated cheese (like colby jack or mild cheddar)
the meat of 1 small chicken boiled and deboned or shredded cooked chicken breasts
Tear tortillas into small pieces and place in greased casserole dish. Cover with cooked chicken. Mix together in saucepan, soup, milk and cheese and spices until melted. Pour over chicken and cover with more grated cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until bubbly. Serve with taco chips.

Nevermind. I get it. Tried and true, right? It only took me a half hour to figure it out 
El Gando
2lb. ground beef
1qt tomatoes, diced (I use canned diced, drained)
2 pkg Taco mix
1/2 tsp salt
2 small packages yellow rice
2 cups or more crushed fritos
8 ozs or more grated cheese
1/2 cup or more chopped olives
2 cups shredded lettuce
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 or more fresh tomatoes
Cook beef, add salt, taco mix, and quart of tomatoes. Simmer until almost dry. Cook rice according to directions. Put 1/3 of meat mixture aside. Add rice to meat mixture and stir well then pour into large serving dish. Pour remining meat mixture to cover. Sprinkle with grated cheese and decorate with tomato wedges. [this is for pretty serving, I just mix all the rice and meat mixture up at once and served diced tomatoes and cheese as topping options].This is a complete meal which can be prepared in about 30 minutes. You serve it up like taco salad with all the topping options. Serves 6-8 adults.
I use the taco recipe from the cookbook I mentioned instead of packet seasoning. I also usually make brown rice and add some tumeric and cumin instead of a yellow rice mix.

Well, an hour wasn't long enough for me. I thought it was another way to say dynamite (as in really good) but I guess that would have been "TNT".

I like the Good Housekeeping Cookbook.. it tends to depend less on special purchase items.. so you find fewer recipes that tell you to buy these several ready made items and combine them in some way.. and more from scratch cooking.
Are you wanting just the main dish type of meals? or a variety?

a variety would be lovely!!!!!!
really - any and all simple meals, sides, desserts, etc.
i am not a recipe cook - i am a "toss together, hhmmm-i-bet-this-would-taste-good-i'll-add-it" cook. my mom is not a "recipe follower" either - so i am trying to pay attention to how i do the meals that dd likes to write them down for her. but - i really just tend to eye-ball amounts, etc. this is hard!
i have also told her to find out from fiance's mom how to cook his favorite meals from his family.

Here is a big list of recipes that I keep on my phone. So just copying and pasting. I can not take credit for some of these. They have just been collected from friends and other places. Sorry for the super long post.
Yankee Apple Cobbler
~5 granny smith apples, peeled and sliced thinly, splash some lemon
juice on top
i usually make a triple recipe of the topping, but here is the single
recipe:
1 cup oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tspn cinnamon
1/4 tspn salt
mix dry ingredients and then add 1/3 cup butter
put topping on top of apples
cook for ~1/2 hour at 375, or until top browns a bit:)
Strawberry Pretzel Salad
Crust: combine 2 Cups coarsely chopped pretzels
3/4 Cup melted butter
3 teaspoons sugar
Pat on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish (I use glass)
BAKE 400 deg. for 10 minutes
COOL
Layer 2: while crust cools Combine:
8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
1 Cup sugar
8 oz. cool whip(thawed)
SPREAD ON COOLED CRUST
Refrigerate while making next layer
Layer 3: Dissolve 1 large package strawberry jello in 2 Cups hot water
Add 2 packages (10 oz. each) frozen strawberries in juice
When partially congealed pour over cream cheese layer.
Refrigerate until set- a few hours- great to make and set overnight.
Chocolate Eclair Dessert
2 small packages French vanilla instant pudding mix
3 cups milk
1 12 oz. container of Cool Whip
1 box of graham crackers
1 container of chocolate cake frosting
1. Combine instant pudding mix and milk. Set in fridge for 5-10 minutes.
2. Thoroughly mix cool whip into pudding mix.
3. Place a layer of graham crackers in the bottom of a 9' x 13' pan.
4. Add a layer of pudding. Repeat layers until you run out of pudding, ending with a graham cracker layer on top.
5. Remove the foil from the frosting can and microwave for ONLY 45 seconds.
6. Stir the frosting and pour over the dessert.
7. Refrigerate overnight for best results so graham crackers absorb the pudding.
Mama's Chocolate Cake
2 stick marg
4 tbsp cocoa
1 cup water
mix and melt on stove
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
add cocoa melted w/ flour-sugar
add 1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
bake sheet pan 400 degrees 25 min
Icing
1 stick marg
4 tbsp cocoa
melt on stove
add to 1 box powd sugar
1 tsp vanilla

3 table spoons of Paprika
2 table spoons brown sugar
1/2 tea spoon Powdered mustard
2 bottles of cheap beer
Bring to a boil and then cut it way back to a simmer and go away for a few
hours. You do need to stop by once in a while to stir to make sure it does
not stick and burn. All the above ingredients are based on your taste. I always add more paprika as I really like the flavor.
You can mix up some flower and water to make a paste to thicken the meal butI do not always do this.
Cook up some macaroni noodles and have a dinner.

1 - the cooked rice

Then put the cheese on top. I love cheese, but I don't use a whole lot on top of this recipe. The sauce is yummy enough!
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven
Dillon's Favorite Chicken Burritos
Charlotte Observer - Wednesday, April 30, 2008
1 rotisserie chicken shredded (about 2 cups chopped)
2 cups sour cream
1 (10.75 oz) can cream of chicken soup
Half a package of taco seasoning mix
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
3 cups Mexican style shredded cheese
1 (15.25 oz) can corn
1 (15 oz) can black beans
6 (8 inch) flour tortillas
Mix all ingredients except tortillas in a large bowl. Heat tortillas for about 20 seconds or until warm and able to be rolled without cracking. Spoon a generous amount of chicken mixture into burrito. Roll closed and place in a 9x13 pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake, covered, for 20 to 30 mins at 350. Sprinkle a little cheese on top and bake, uncovered, another 5 mins.
MKB's Notes:
When my Mom made this she made 10 burritos not 6. She felt there was too much filling to put into 6 burritos. She put 6 into a 9x13 and put 4 into a 7x11. She baked both and froze the 7x11...which is the one we had
Amazing Layered Brownies
1box (1 lb 6.5 oz) Betty Crocker® Original Supreme brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box
1container (1 lb) Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting
3/4cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
3cups crisp rice cereal
1cup creamy peanut butter
1bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)
1.Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray or shortening. (For easier cutting, line pan with foil, then grease foil on bottom only of pan.)
2.Make and bake brownies as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan, using water, oil and eggs. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
3.Frost brownies with frosting. Sprinkle with peanuts; refrigerate while making cereal mixture.
4.Measure cereal into large bowl; set aside. In 1-quart saucepan, melt peanut butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly. Pour over cereal in bowl, stirring until evenly coated. Spread over frosted brownies. Cool completely before cutting, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
Cream of Tomato Soup with Parmesan Cheese
2 (14 oz) cans Italian plum tomatoes, undrained
1 cup whipping cream (I used fat-free half-and-half and it totally tasted full fat!)
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (I had to use the basil in the tube at HT b/c there was no fresh basil and it was great)
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Add all ingredients except cheese in a food processor
or blender. Pulse until mixture is smooth. Pour mixture into saucepan; cook over medium heat until thoroughly heated. Stir in cheese; heat until cheese melts.
Homemade Biscuit Donuts
biscuit dough - ready to use or from scratch
small circle cutter - I used a medicine cup that came from children's Tylenol
1/4 - 1/2 cup cooking oil - vegetable or canola
tongs
paper towels
cinnamon and sugar mix
Open the biscuit can and spread all the rolls out. Then using a small circle cutter, press out a donut hole right in the middle.
Then get your pan on medium heat with 1/4 - 1/2 cup oil. Depending on how many you make, you will need more oil. You want enough oil to cover half of the donut when cooking. Place 3-4 doughy donuts into the pan and leave until the bottom is golden brown. Don't do anything else but watch these, as they cook fast and don't want them to burn. Then turn them over and cook another minute or so. Using tongs, place the cooked donut on paper towels to drain and cool slightly.
Now place the donuts on a plate and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. I use a shaker I bought for $1 at Walmart and it's the best for pre-mixing cinnamon and sugar or for powder sugar too. You could also top your donuts with a powdered sugar/milk glaze. Even a chocolate frosting with sprinkles would be yummy.

Cactus Mouse, do you know if any churches in your area have put out a cookbook recently? Some of my best "easy" recipes from my newlywed days came from a church cookbook that I still use--definitely tried 'n true, though in some cases the dear ladies forgot such things as oven temp or time to cook b/c the recipes were so familiar to them when they wrote them!
We don't eat red meat at all anymore, but one recipe from my "church ladies" cookbook that I used to fix back when we did was this one:
Barbecups
3/4 pound ground beef
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 T. minced onion
2 T. brown sugar
1 can Pillsbury biscuits
3/4 cup cheddar cheese
Brown ground beef; drain. Add barbecue sauce, minced onion, and brown sugar and simmer. Press biscuits into ungreased muffin cups, making sure dough goes to the edge of the cups. Spoon meat mixture into cups and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Makes six barbecups.
A couple of these with some extra barbecue sauce, some steamed veggies and a salad, and you've got a meal.

wow! I am LOVIN' all these recipes! thanks to everyone who is sharing, from a not-very-new-bride who still needs a little help in the kitchen!
(one of my favorite kid-quips is when my DS, then 4, told a new friend: "my papa is a really good cook. and my mama ... well, she's a really good driver.")
so I, and probably my entire family, appreciate the new ideas. thanks, everybody!
