Cookin' with Coolio
Cookin' with Coolio: 5 Star Meals at a 1 Star Price | Coolio
5 posts | 2 read | 8 to read
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING THAT COOLIO'S BEEN DOING LONGER THAN RAPPING: COOKING Coolio started making thirty-minute meals when he was ten years old and has since developed a whole new cuisine: Ghetto Gourmet. His recipes are built around solid comfort foods with a healthy twist that don't break the bank. Start your Ghetto Gourmet adventure with some "Soul Rolls," follow-up with "Finger-Lickin', Rib-Stickin', Fall-Off-the-Bone-and-into-Your-Mouth Chicken," and fi nish off with "Banana Ba-ba-ba-bread" sweetened with golden honey. Chapters such as "How to Become a Kitchen Pimp," "Chillin' and Grillin'," and "Pasta Like a Rasta" will guide you through creating 5 star meals at a 1 star price. You can't fi nd fusions like Blasian (black Asian) or Ghettalian (ghetto Italian) in restaurants, but you can have them cooking away in your kitchen faster and easier than ordering takeout. As Coolio says, "All you need is a little bit of food, and a little bit of know-how."

This is a part of my kitchen and these are only some of my cookbooks. Me thinks that I *may have a problem...

audraelizabeth My grandma has a lot of diet and cookbooks 2y
SRWCF @audraelizabeth A few of my cookbooks were my grandmother's. They are very special to me. 2y

SRWCF @slategreyskies they sure are treasures! I am 50 years old, so u can imagine the age of grandma's cookbooks! One has illustrations done by THE Andy Warhol, if you can believe that. It must have been one of his first ever paying gigs since he went on to bigger and better things. 2y
audraelizabeth Thats awesome, most of my grandmas are for diets i probably wouldnt do. 2y
SRWCF @audraelizabeth you never know. I find most cookbooks have at least a few useful recipes, no matter the subject. For example, I was vegan for years, but I no longer am, however my vegan cookbooks are still useful. 2y
audraelizabeth True, i was surprised now that shes doing a whole food plant based diet how good some of it was like cheese sauce and ice cream 2y
SRWCF @audraelizabeth for sure! There are so many dairy alternatives that one can make at home. Much better than processed products sold in grocery stores. 2y
audraelizabeth The cheese sauce had nutritional yeast in it and the ice cream was banana, vanilla, and almond milk. 2y
Nutmegnc They‘re so neat and tidy!! 2y
SRWCF @Nutmegnc 😊 Tallest to shortest. If you look at the first picture I ever posted a few weeks ago of my #shelfie, you'll see how I like to organize my books by color. I'm sure I'll do that soon with these cookbooks. It's so much more pleasing to my eye that way! 😉 2y
Nutmegnc @SRWCF just looked at it! Very nice!! And welcome to Litsy!! 2y
SRWCF @Nutmegnc thanks! 2y
MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward That's no problem, I see only a shelf of potential solutions 😍🔥What a wonderful collection! 2y
SRWCF @MerlinTheSlightlyAwkward ahhhh, a voice of reason. Thank you! 2y

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

1. Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio (but the nerdy Amish Paradise parody by Weird Al was more my style).
2. Gemini
3. Christopher Pike.
4. @Eggbeater @petersonks15

MidnightBookGirl @eggbeater @Eggs @tournevis My favorite Weird Al song is one of his originals- I Guess You Don't Love Me Anymore. 5y
tournevis Good one! My fave is Dare to Be Stupid, I loved it back in UHF. Also Devo. 5y
tournevis Also, I'm guessing here that your Christopher Pike is not the second captain of the Starship Enterprise. 5y
MidnightBookGirl @tournevis Also great ones! 5y
MidnightBookGirl @tournevis Lol, nope! Although that is where he got his pen name! 5y
tournevis @MidnightBookGirl Good choice on the name! 5y

In case you were wondering what Coolio has been up to, he be cookin'!! I collect a lot of cookbooks and this is the only #LaughOutLoud one I have! I wanted to post a pic of a recipe, but due to explicit language, could not. 😂😂

Mehso-so

Kompton Fried Chicken. Pimp My Shrimp. The Ghetto Burger. Pasta like a Rasta. Those are the recipes. There's even a section for "Salad-Eatin' Bitches." Coolio is no culinary genius...but it's a good gag gift. Or good for someone who doesn't know how to cook anything...

art_vandelay I totally bought this as a joke for my friend for her birthday last year. My favorite recipe name was "Bro-ghetti" 8y
NerdyRev I can't believe this exists! Ha! 8y
Titania Yeah, there only reliable recipe in this cookbook might be the brownies. ;-) 8y
