AppId is over the quota
Quick bread recipes include an amazing variety of corn bread, but there are lots more kinds of slice-able, spread-able, toast-able varieties that you wouldn't believe could be done so quick and easily. But you already know those are the only kind of recipes you'll find on QuickEats Plus.

And don't expect those sneaky, "buy a loaf of bread at the store and do this or that to it"; I'm giving you quick bread recipes that actually MAKE the loaves. Ok, some use dough from a tube but I hardly call that cheating.

So what are you waiting for? Scroll on down and see what I'm talkin' about.

Pan-Seared Shrimp With Chipotle-Lime Glaze
Serves 3-4

Here's a quick & easy that will produce a lively shrimp dish which will likely be new to your eaters; expect raves.

1 & 1/2 - 2 lb extra-large (21-25 per lb) shell-on shrimp
1/4 tsp each salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 scallions (3-4 Tbp), roots trimmed, thinly sliced
2 limes
Leaves from 4 to 6 cilantro stems (3 Tbsp), chopped
1 chipotle pepper in adobo, plus 2 tsp of adobo
4 tsp light brown sugar
2 Tbsp olive oil

Peel and devein the shrimp; leaving the tail shells on if they're to be eaten out of hand. Place in a bowl and toss with the salt, pepper and sugar.

Place scallions in a medium bowl. Cut the limes in half; squeeze them into the bowl to yield 2 Tbsp, then add cilantro, chipotle,adobo and the brown sugar. Mix well.

Heat a Tbsp of the oil in a large skillet (preferably nonstick) over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke.

Add half of the shrimp, spreading them in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the edges turn pink. Remove the skillet from the heat. Use tongs to flip each shrimp over; let stand for about 30 seconds so that all but the very center of each shrimp has become opaque. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate.

Add the remaining oil to the skillet; once it just begins to smoke, add the remaining shrimp and repeat the cooking process. After the second batch has been taken off the heat, return the first batch to the skillet (combining all the shrimp) and add the chipotle mixture; toss to incorporate. Cover and let stand for about 2 minutes.

Divide among individual plates. Serve immediately.

Not all French food is like those spectacular dishes you've seen Julia and Jacques prepare on public television. After all, French cookers have jobs and attend school and have busy lives just like you and me.

As an added bonus, this page offers a chance to learn some French while preparing fast and fabulous French food. And if my conversions from English titles to French aren't grammatically correct, those of you who speak the language may feel free to laugh at them. At least, I get credit for trying, don't I?

TO PRINT A RECIPE: Found some you want to keep? (I sure hope so.) Just highlight them, then right click, hit "Print", then "Selection", then "Ok? or ?Print?" again. That was easy, wasn't it?

What Can I Put in My Amish Bread if I Don't Have Pudding?

What Can I Put in My Amish Bread if I Don't Have Pudding?thumbnail Homemade pudding can substitute for boxed pudding in an Amish friendship bread recipe. Amish friendship bread is a starter bread (meaning made from a live yeast starter) that takes 10 days to make. Even though it is called Amish friendship bread, there is nothing that directly ties the recipe or process to the Amish people. Part of the name is derived from the fact that once the starter is made initially, it is usually shared with other people who can make their own bread or cake from it and pass the starter on to others. Although traditionally made with boxed instant pudding, there are variations of the recipe that can be made as well.

Make your own version of boxed pudding to substitute in the friendship bread. Add 3/4 cup of sugar in a bowl with 2 tbsp. of melted butter, 3 tbsp. of cornstarch, three egg yolks, 1 tsp. of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in one bowl and mix well. Add the pudding substitute to the friendship bread batter. Add the remaining basic ingredients for Amish friendship bread, omitting the instant pudding and mix well. Brush two bread loaf pans with vegetable oil and lightly sprinkle sugar on them. Pour the batter into the pans and bake in a 325 degree F oven for one hour.

Substitute powdered sugar for the basic boxed pudding recipe. To equal the vanilla pudding mix, blend 3/4 cup of powdered sugar in a bowl with 2 tsp. vanilla extra, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg and one egg yolk in a small bowl, then add to the friendship bread batter. In another bowl, mix all of the ingredients for a basic friendship bread recipe, leaving out the instant pudding. Mix well and add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Lightly oil two bread loaf pans and sprinkle with sugar. Add the batter to the pans and bake in a 325 degree F oven for one hour.

Make chocolate Amish friendship bread using cocoa powder as a substitute. In one bowl, mix 2/3 cup of vegetable shortening with 1 2/3 cup of sugar using an electric mixer. In the same bowl, add three whole eggs, 1 cup of the Amish friendship bread batter and 1 tsp. of vanilla extract. Mix the batter well. In another bowl, mix 2/3 cup of cocoa powder, 1 1/2 tsp. of baking soda, 1 tsp. of salt, 2 cups of flour and 1/2 tsp. of baking powder. Mix the cocoa powder mixture with 3/4 cup of water and add to the batter. Grease two bread loaf pans with vegetable oil, sprinkle with sugar and add batter. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 40 minutes.

Make an apple-based Amish friendship bread. In one bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 3/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1 tsp. of vanilla extract and 2 tsp. of ground cinnamon. In another bowl, add 1 cup of the Amish friendship breast batter, 1/2 tsp. baking soda and 1 tsp. salt and mix well. Incorporate two eggs into the batter mixture, then add the sugar mixture to the batter. Chop 1 cup of walnuts and 3 cups of apples, such as Granny Smith apples, and gently fold into the batter. Pour the batter into greased loaf pans and bake at 375 degrees F for about one hour.

How to Make the Hunger Bar in RMXP

RPG Maker XP -- aka RMXP -- is a game-making tool developed by the Japanese software company Enterbrain and released in 2005. The program's code is based on the Ruby scripting language -- a relatively simple, easily parsable language that can be manipulated by novice users. It is also powerful enough for more advanced users to create customized game elements -- in this case, Hunger and Thirst meters.

Difficulty:Moderate1

Add the Hunger and Thirst script to the code for your RPG project by going to Tools then Database in RMXP, or by pressing "F11."

2

Right-click the menu in the "Scripts" tab, and select "New." Copy and paste the code for the Hunger and Thirst script, click "Apply," then enter the name "Hunger and Thirst" in the name space in the bottom-left. This code is required. Without it, the script for the Hunger and Thirst bars won't display any information.

3

Create another new script, then copy the HUD Add-On code displayed underneath the Hunger mechanic script. Repeat Step 2, but name the code "Hunger and Thirst HUD."

In both codes, the code for the Hunger and Thirst components are separated by plain text markers. So you can delete one or the other, if you want to use just one of the components of the script.
