I must like french toast. Here's another way I made it.
Take store bought cinnamon rolls (I used a glazed type), dip them in egg "solution" (see previous posts) and cook in butter. These were so sugary and sweet that I didn't have to add anything else.

The Kamikaze Cook- A Kamikazeism
I think that when a particular food reaches a billion dollars in sales annually it deserves its' own food group... Congrats Chocolate!
The Kamikaze Cook- Lessons, Notes & Flops
Note: You know how when you're hungry you don't think straight? Keep that in mind when you read what I "flopped" yesterday...
Lesson: Well, actually, reminder.....not all things you try will work out.
Flops: I was really sick of chicken; craving a hamburger if you want to know the truth but I didn't have any cash and I didn't want to drive around after doing lots of laundry so I went home to make something. This something turned out to take a lot longer to make than I wanted and was pretty lousy, if I do say so myself...
I cooked some chicken in a skillet, adding cumin, garlic and cilantro. Meanwhile, I boiled water for pasta (thin spaghetti). I had a few left over "salsa/limon" chips so I crushed those up and shredded the remaining hunk of cheddar I had. I sprayed a pan with cooking spray and tossed everything in and baked it at 400 for 10 minutes. Man, I must have been hungry because I actually ate a bit of this but I did NOT save the leftovers which is almost out of the realm of my philosophy but there you have it. I think maybe if I had left out the pasta it would have been better. In fact, I kept saying to myself "forget the pasta" but no, it just went in one ear and out the other...Note to self- listen to that inner voice and always have a buck on hand to buy a burger when in need.

The Kamikaze Cook #16 Homemade Chicken Nuggets
I have a friend who is crazy about a national pizza chain's new chicken nuggets but when he orders them it costs him $35! So, I thought I would come up with something similar to see if they satisfy his, um, needs. Here's what I ran with...
Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Cut chicken breast into small pieces (chicken expands when cooked, so guage the size based on how big you want the pieces). In a bowl, mix corn meal, cajun spices and garlic. Take five pieces, cover in mix and place in hot skillet and cover with lid. (Note- if there is too much oil it may splash at you so be careful.) Cook about 4 minutes on first side. Turn over, making sure to grab some of the oil from wherever the oil has slid to. Cover again and cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until thoroughly cooked and place on paper towel covered plate. Continue with rest of chicken. You can serve with ranch dressing (as the aforementioned pizza place does it) or whatever kind of sauce you want. I ate them plain and there was plenty of flavor and "kick" without any additional sauce. Enjoy!
