Easy Tonkatsu

I found myself jonesing for some tonkatsu and rice for dinner.  I made that happen. It's surprisingly easy and inexpensive to make.

This recipe only covers making the tonkatsu, not the rice.

New Rice Cooker

Recently kicked my old, simple mini rice cooker to the curb in favor a Panda mini rice cooker from Yum Asia. Used it for the first time last night, the result was better than I've ever managed with the old cooker by a lot. Most importantly no scorching and clean up was a a breeze.  I'm looking forward to making more rice.

Very much worth the money.

Low-Fi French Toast

It'd been a while since I've had French Toast.  I thought it would make for a quick, easy scaled-for-one breakfast. 3-ish minutes prep. 10-ish minutes cooking. 3-ish minutes cleanup.

It was pretty alright.

Toaster Waffles

Quick and easy breakfast food. Pop into toaster, spread with something good.  Enjoy.

Angle Hair Pasta with red pepper and Garlic Butter Pan Sauce

Quick and easy pasta preparation for one or two, depending on how hungry you are. No real pasta sauce necessary, kind of a Japanese vibe to it.

Turkey Cheese Burger

Fun thing to make. Turkey burger with cheese in the middle. Super simple, three ingredients. Quick to make. This recipe makes one burger, scale it up if you want more.

Ham Cup Egg Bites

I really like egg bites as a breakfast food. I’ve made renditions of them several times with good success. This is my most recent attempt using smoked, uncured smoked ham as a cup for the eggs, cheese, and veggies.

These freeze well, reheat well, are relatively low calorie, and are relatively low sodium.
