First, a quick recipe for you.  I usually eat pretty late at night because of my weird schedule.  I don't want a big huge meal right before bed so I have a few light meals I shuffle through during the week.  Here's a new one I discovered with the help of my friend Shannon.

Quick meal for one: 
Rice with tomatoes, sweet onions, and pepper-jack cheese

What I needed:
Instant rice (I used white rice)
1 can of petite diced tomatoes with sweet onions
Pack of shredded pepper-jack cheese

What I did:

I cooked one cup of instant rice, opened and drained some (not all) of the tomato juice from the can.  When the rice was done, I moved into a bowl and then while the stove and pot was still hot, I scooped four big spoonfuls of the tomato/onion mix into the pot.  Let that heat up for a minute, added to the top of my rice, then topped the whole thing with some pepper-jack cheese.  I mixed it slightly and ate it.  Delicious, light, and easy for a quick one person meal.

Alright, get going!  I'm excited to see what you contribute. The party is open.
