Everyone has always known how much I like to eat, and that appearances are deceiving because I can really put food away when I want to. One day last week it occurred to me that I even like to cook! After being in the kitchen for about two hours putting together various meals, I realized how long I had been in there and that I really didn’t MIND! Turns out that when I have the time, cooking is something I enjoy. Nothing fancy, but then again it’s tough to be fancy on an island where supplies are limited. See a couple of my favorite recipes below:
Heather's Tortilla Pizza
1 tortilla
Spaghetti sauce
Cheese
Hot dog
Red hot chili pepper flakes
Slice hotdog into dime size pieces. Cook over high heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and slice into smaller pieces. Grate cheese. Spread sauce on tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. Melt over medium heat. Once melted, sprinkle hotdog pieces on melted cheese. Remove from heat and slice. Sprinkle with chili pepper flakes. Enjoy your thin crust tortilla pizza!

3 cans chunk light tuna
scoop of mayo, squirt of mustard
salt, pepper
siratcha sauce
papaya (optional)
Thai stir-fry
1 can coconut milk (I have yet to try it using real coconut milk, but I should since it is accessible via just a short walk out my front door)
2 Tbsp Thai red curry paste
Soy sauce
1 Tbsp brown sugar
any veggies you can get your hands on
Bean salad
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can cut green beans

Other than this, it’s a lot of oatmeal, French toast, PB&J, with the occasional egg
