Meal Type:
Dessert

Difficulty:
Easy (I'm not sure if because you need to fry it in oil, I should make it medium)

Author:
Szabo

Ingredients:
2 large Hershey's milk chocolate bars
2 10" flour tortillas
vegetable oil (for frying)
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon*
1 serving of Szabo's chocolate sauce*
2 spoonfuls of vanillia ice cream*

*optional
Makes 2 Chocolate Chimichangas

Steps:
Split the Hershey's bar to make 2x4 and 1x4 rectangles. Place 2x4 just below the center of a tortilla and place 1x4 right on top of it. Fold bottom of tortilla up and over the candy bar just until it is partially covered (on the long side). Fold left and right sides of tortilla over; roll up, and place seam down on a plate. Repeat the procedure for other tortillas and freeze for 20 minutes. Pour oil in a large skillet making it about 3/4" deep and heat to about 375 degrees fahrenheit. (Recommended to ask for adult help!) Place 2 tortillas, seam side down, in hot oil, gently pressing with tongs for a few seconds to seal. Fry tortillas 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve with preferred toppings.

Title: Omelet

Meal Type:
Breakfast, though you can also have them for lunch and dinner.

Difficulty:
Easy

Author:
Dinoclor

Ingredients:
2 eggs
Chopped mushrooms to taste (optional)
Chopped vegetables to taste(optional)
Grated cheese to taste (Highly recommended)
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:
Prepare the vegetables and grate the cheese.
Crack the two eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a fork into an orangish-yellow liquid.
Put oil on a frying pan and let it heat up until it is very hot. I recommend putting a small piece of vegetable on it and waiting til it begins to cook.
Pour the eggs in. Make sure it isn't too thick, or it will burn.
Wait for it to begin to cook, then add the vegetables.
When the sides begin to look cooked, flip it over with a spatula.
When the other side is cooked, test the middle.
When the middle is cooked, put the cheese in the middle and sprinkle salt and pepper.
Fold it in half with the spatula.
Wait for about 20 seconds for the cheese to melt.
Take it out of the frying pan and onto a plate WITH THE SPATULA.

Title: Ramen Noodle Dish

Meal Type: Main Dish

Difficulty: It depends on your experience of stovetop cooking and whether or not you choose to prepare some of the ingredients by yourself or choose to have them buy prepared already. I'm gonna say "medium" for now.

Author: cheddargirl

Ingredients:
Dried ramen noodles.
Powdered flavoring of your choice (amount depends on your choice)
Prepared meat or meat substitute of your choice (examples: sliced beef, sliced chicken, sliced pork, tofu, shrimp, sliced duck, clams).
Prepared Veggies of your choice (examples: bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms, cabbage, green onion, carrots)
One hard boiled egg

Steps:
1. Fill a pot with two cups of water in a pot, and boil the water. Add the ramen into the pot of boiling water, cook the noodles for around three minutes. You'll probably need to push the ramen noodles down with a utensil while initially cooking (yes, they float when uncooked).
2. When the ramen is cooked, turn off the heat, wait for the water to stop boiling. Add the powered flavoring to the pot, stir.
3. Pour the noodles out into a bowl. Add the meat/meat substitutes and veggies on top.
4. Cut hard boiled egg in half. Add one of the halves to the noodle bowl.

That sounds interesting. :p

Eh, for me, it's actually relatively boring - the interesting stuff comes when I have nothing but leftovers to deal with. Leftovers call for more creativity. 

lol, I get the pre-made, cup ramen noodles sometimes. Just add water. I'm too lazy. :p

I once tried to make myself breakfast, then the kitchen went up in flames 4 minutes later.

I hate cereal.

Sorry that I haven't been updating, but I am waiting for Szabo to finish his amazing update that will add a section for your favorite recipes 

As soon as that is done everyone's recipes will be added.
For now I will just critique them:

Szabo- delicious sounding as always, you seem to know some pretty good desserts.
Cheddargirl, I think that seems more fitting as a Soup dish. Sounds very delicious though, reminds me of Korean Bibimbap.
Neilwest, I think you should change the meal type to Pasta/Rice. Sounds very yummy though, my family makes something similar that isn't baked.
Dinoclor and jji7skyline, could you please make the titles more specific? 'Omelet' and
'Pasta' are too broad, as others could do dishes of that type (other pastas or omelets). Both dishes sound nice though.

There's an excellent gourmet manga called "Yakitate!! Japan" that has some nice, easy recipes for bread, however, they are pages in a (online!) manga. Could I just transcribe it? (The manga has some curse words in it, but not on that page.) Of course, I know these recipes wouldn't make it into the project. Additionally, my mom has a recipe, but it's in metric, would that be OK or should I convert it?

Also, with cheddargirl's recipe, my family does something similar, but adding tomatoes and poaching the egg in the pan make it WAY tastier. You should try it!

Anyhoo, here's Alton Brown's amazing, beautiful recipe for chocolate chip cookies that are gorgeous and delicious. This won't make it in because it's not mine, of course, but I SERIOUSLY recommend you try it. It works for me every time! I have added my notes that I use to compensate for lack of certain things in italics.

Title: The Chewy

Meal Type: Dessert (cookie)

Difficulty: Easy, but YOU MUST HAVE ADULT SUPERVISION WHEN USING THE OVEN AND POSSIBLY THE MIXER. SERIOUSLY.

Author: Alton Brown

Ingredients:
8 ounces unsalted butter
12 ounces bread flour BREAD FLOUR IS KEY! This is what makes it chewy! PLEASE try to use it!
1 teaspoon kosher salt (It doesn't have to be kosher, but if you have it, use it.)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 ounces granulated sugar
8 ounces light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 ounce whole milk (note: I usually substitute with a little over 1 oz. of milk)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (This may be too much! Adjust the amount to your preference.)

ALL OF THIS IS BY WEIGHT!!!!!


Steps:
Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat. (You can use a microwave too, put it in a microwave-safe bowl and heat 30 seconds, stir a little, and repeat until completely liquid.) Set aside to cool slightly.

Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda onto a paper plate. Pour the butter into your stand mixer's work bowl. (If you don't have a stand mixer, use a normal one at a low speed - I have a 3-speed one, and I use the lowest speed.) Add the sugar and brown sugar and beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together the whole egg, the egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract in a measuring cup. Reduce the mixer speed and slowly add the egg mixture. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds.

Using the paper plate as a slide, gradually integrate the dry ingredients, stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides of the bowl. (When doing this, I instead turn off the mixer, pour the whole thing in, and mix it with the mixer - turned off, of course!) Once the flour is worked in, drop the speed to "stir" (lowest setting) and add the chocolate chips. Chill the dough for 1 hour. (You may refrigerate for longer than this, though)

Preheat the oven to 375 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! I found that 375 is a bit too much. Use 350 degrees and 15 min. or the same and 12 min.) degrees F and place racks in the top third and bottom third of the oven. (I don't do this, but I recommend you do it if you can!)

Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-ounce portions onto parchment-lined half sheet pans, 6 cookies per sheet. (I don't do this exactly, but they should be around the size of a golf ball, maybe a little larger,) Bake 2 sheets at a time for 15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Remove from the oven, slide the parchment with the cookies onto a cooling rack and wait at least 5 minutes before devouring.

-'Contains Nuts' The ingredients for this may have nuts in them, but it has no nuts directly applied to it.

I found this recipe actually makes ~36, rather than the two dozen, but it depends on the size of the cookie.


Times:
Total Time: 1 hr 50 min
Prep: 20 min
Inactive: 1 hr
Cook: 30 min It may be more than this, though, depending on the thickness of the cookies

One of my resolutions this year is to learn how to cook!

I'm gonna make badges you can give to the recipes!
