Cooking in our little kitchen is often more trouble than it's worth. I've decided I want to learn to make more one-dish, hassle-free meals. I decided to try making Indian food in the rice cooker, with curried rice on the bottom and curry in the steamer basket. It worked, and it was fantastic!

In the metal rice-cooking pot:
-2 cups rice
-3 cups water
-2.5-3 Tablespoons chicken flavor granules
-1.5 Tablespoons curry powder
-a few green legumes

In the steamer basket:
-1 pound of mini chicken legs
-sprinkle of salt
-2 Tablespoons curry powder
-2 chopped tomatoes
-about 3/4 cup green legumes

Stir the ingredients of each part, turn the rice cooker to "cook", and when it says the rice is done, this little cultural meal is good to go!

• 3-4 baked sweet potato insides, mashed
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• a handful of marshmallows

Mix the sweet potatoes and brown sugar and lay in a baking dish. Top with marshmallows and cook for about 15 minutes or until warm and browned on top. We cooked this one at about 350 degrees.

Combine:
-1 cup flour + 1 Tablespoon (whole wheat) flour
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-1/8 teaspoon salt
-2 Tablespoons sugar (or more if you'd like them more sweet)
-1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Add:
-7 Tablespoons milk

Stir in:
-A small handful of dark chocolate chunks (to taste)

Form into pieces about 1" thick and place on a sprayed baking sheet. Sprinkle with a touch of course sugar. Bake for 14-18 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
