Chewy Taro Root and Cheese Croquettes

I wanted to cook something for my kids using the bumper crop of taro root harvested in my garden. ＊Moisten your hands at Step 3 so that your hands won't become sticky. ＊Taro root is sticky enough, so coat with panko without dredging with flour or egg. Recipe by inuyasha

Easy and Quick Mini Gratin For Bento Lunchboxes

You see the frozen mini gratin at a store. I thought that it would be budget-friendly and healthier it was prepared at home. I came up with a recipe that is quick enough to make it on a busy morning. You can make a mini gratin for a bento box in 10 minutes using white sauce made in a microwave. It can be stored in the freezer also. If you're going to use it straight from the freezer, microwave it for about 30 seconds. You can add anything that you have at home, such as ham, bacon or cooked vegetables like broccoli. For 2 servings. Recipe by sweet_dolphin530

Homemade Tortilla Chips

Simple salt-flavored tortilla chips weren't available in my neighborhood before, so I've been making my own chips for a while. They're a hit when I serve them to guests with avocado dip, so this has been in my standard repertoire for 12 years. If you are using store-bought corn tortillas, cut them into triangles with scissors. In Step 3, if you find the tortilla mix hard to handle, coat your hands in oil and roll it into balls. Since the chips are served with dip, I didn't salt them. They are delicious when freshly fried, and simply flavored with salt and spices of your choice. Spread the mixture thinly for crispy results.

Easy Miniature "Corn Dogs"

I make these as a change of pace item for my son's bentos, since he loves sausages. If you use Pretz (savory stick shaped snacks made by Glico) or pasta as the sticks, there's no waste! (These batter-dipped 'corn' dogs are called American dogs in Japan, and are coated with pancake batter with no cornmeal.) Recipe by kaeren mama.

Irvixen's Toddler Style Chili

My family doesn't care for spice. At all. Do I had to alter my moms chili recipe to fit the kiddos and hubby. My mom calls it tomato stew. But with the spice changes I think it still qualifies as chili. ;)

Freshly Baked Savory Stuffed Rolls in the Morning

I wondered if I could keep the dough in the refrigerator overnight to make freshly baked bread in the morning without having to knead the dough from scratch in the morning too. Dough I made Thursday morning still baked up beautifully on Saturday morning. The dough I used is a recipe I saw in a cooking magazine a long time ago and is not so sweet. It's not sticky, and has lots of yeast in it, so it rises readily and is easy to handle even for beginners. At the moment I can guarantee that this dough can be made 2 days in advance and kept in the refrigerator. Leave it up to the bread machine to make the dough. ♪ Even if you hand knead it, it will be nice and smooth after 5 to 10 minutes of kneading. You must preheat the oven properly! If the oven is not hot enough the dough may not rise, so please preheat it well enough in advance. This is a fluffy light dough that can be used for savory or sweet stuffed rolls. When refrigerating the dough, I found out that if you form the rolls and use the "partial freezing" function (if your refrigerator has one), the dough doesn't get frozen hard or overproof, and the rolls turn out just right! Please try it out for yourself. Recipe by Pokuchan

Miso Butter Udon Noodles

I wanted to eat miso ramen, but only had udon noodles, so I made this dish and it was delicious! You can add bean sprouts. Season with ra-yu or shichimi spice. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Recipe by Akkorin mama

Vegetarian Doria Using Leftover Veggies

This recipe is the result of my attempt to make something warm and delicious with cold brown rice and leftover veggies in the fridge. Using boiled potato or penne pasta instead of rice will turn this into a gratin. Any vegetables you like are fine, but onions will add sweetness and make it delicious. They're even better if you fry them until they are a well-browned, amber colour. If you are using eggplants, they taste best if you steam them first. The photo is of a winter vegetable version.

Easy Cream Pasta for Lunch

This is an easy dish made with what I had in my kitchen. Note: If you are making two servings, use 400 ml of milk, 200 ml of water and 1 soup stock cube. If you don't have enough milk, it's fine with 200 ml of milk and 400 ml of water. Recently I've started to add garlic during Step 2. Recipe by Meino kachan
