I can share, and it's easy
fry some meat in pressure cooker ( I used lamb stew meat, but mostly my mother used beef) for a few minutes with a chopped onion and some garlic, add cut up green beans. It works great with green beans left on the plants a little too long. Add a cut up potato , some parsley, and you are supposed to use Bohnenkraut, but that doesn't grow here and the closest to it translated would be savory, which I don't have, so I used some Italian seasoning. Add 1 small chopped tomato. Add a beef or chicken bullion cube ( those go in all German soups ) , some salt and pepper, cook for about 20 minutes in pressure cooker. When done add some Maggie seasoning ( it's sort of like soy sauce, you can buy it in Asian groceries, maybe Aldi has it too)

The cake:
sweet yeast dough with streusel on top, that's it

this recipe is close, except I add a little cinnamon to my Streusel

Yum! That sounds wonderful. I’ll have to give it a try. We don’t have a pressure cooker (we do have a pressure canner but it’s way too big for feeding just two of us), but I think it’ll work out fine slow-cooked on the stove or in the crock.

The internet says bohnenkraut is summer savory, and I do actually have some on my shelf! Not growing it, but maybe I should think about it since I live in a cooler place.

you can cook it in a regular pot on low also, just takes longer
I love my little pressure cooker, use it all the time to make soups, curries or even roasts. I have a large pressure canner also but don't cook in that. I did one time and the food tasted metallic. My cooker is stainless steal, the canner is aluminum
I guess I will grow some summer savory next summer
 
Alexandra has taken to Real Estate full time these days so my lunches have definitely took a turn for the worse. I spend my days in the shop working on Jakes Jeep. I have a kitchen in there but only thing in the cabinets are canned food. I’m going to town tomorrow and stock the refrigerator! So for lunch today a cold can of Beeforoni same as yesterday.

@hashbrown why is it like that? Here I thought you were cooking it up in the kitchen with her and Jake all the time. It'll get better because now you're hungry. When i don't feel like cooking I use the crockpot, early on in the day.
I don't know what I'm doing for dinner. Ended up feeling bad last night and today but had already promised to take dinner to an ailing friend, at least that is cooking for them, but it's what we had yesterday. Leftovers.
 
I have no idea, somewhere in the freezer is some kind of Mett or Brat or sausage to cook and eat. Stocks are low, freezer needs to be defrosted and moved and then restocked. No parties, I ate all the tater tots :(

I haven’t wanted to go up to the house, and quit working long enough for a proper lunch.
 
Thanks for posting the links to recipes. Will watch this one in a bit! You come up with some good dinners!!

My two requirements are it has to be easy, and I have to like all of the ingredients. I don't mind cooking, but I am lazier than a teen age boy. :brewing:
 
This wouldn't be a dinner, but it fits my criteria for easy and liking the ingredients. I have made several of these soda cakes, and they have all turned out well. I admit I cheat a little bit and add two eggs to the recipe, but my wife and son have both liked everything. I do ice the cake with a frosting.
