The Kamikaze Cook #24 Gordita Breakfast Sandwich

The 99cents only store has this fluffy bread called "Gorditas" which is really yummy. I decided to make a breakfast sandwich with them.

Put gordita bread on micro safe plate, sprinkle grated muenster or mozzarella cheese. Heat skillet and whisk egg. Add a bit of butter to the skillet then add egg to cook quickly (scrambled). Meanwhile, put bread with cheese in micro for 30-40 seconds or until melted. Put cooked egg on half of bread and fold over. Mmm Mmm Good. You could even add salsa if you wanted (not my choice, but we're all different.)

The Kamikaze Cook #23 Polish Sausage and Corn Mush

If you haven't had the corn mush from El Torrito (Mexican Restaurant), you don't know what you're missing. The great news is that you can buy the pre-packaged stuff to make it at any grocery store now- I found it in the "International" isle. This was a wonderful, easy lunch.

Prepare and bake corn mush. (Hint- I made some last night so all I had to do was reheat it.) Meanwhile, slice polish sausage diagonally (like you would bread for bruchetta) and brown in a pan. Vwallah...lunch in 5 minutes flat!

The Kamikaze Cook #22 Hawaiian Chicken

I made pineapple upsidedown cake the other day (which was divine if you haven't had it) and I had leftover pineapple so I decided to do something similar to Hawaiian Meatballs which I used to make for my family when I was a kid.

Marinate chicken overnight in pineapple juice and brown sugar. Cook white or brown rice as you normally would. Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan, put some pineapple juice, brown sugar and a teaspoon or so of butter. Bring to boil then lower to simmer. While those two things are cooking, heat skillet and spray with cooking spray. Slice marinated chicken into medium sized strips and once ready, place in skillet. Cook thoroughly. When the chicken is fully cooked and both sides brown, add rice to skillet and stir. To the pineapple/brown sugar mixture, add a bit of corn starch to thicken then pour over rice and chicken. Simmer for ten minutes. You can add water if there is not enough moisture. Meanwhile, make salad or steam some green beans in the micro for about 1:10 min. Enjoy!
