Of course you can purchase prepared Katsu Sauce to make Chicken Katsu, but to be honest, I haven’t found one that doesn’t contain high-fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oil. Therefore, I make my own. It’s super simple using ingredients you most likely have on hand.
Don’t throw out leftover roasted chicken! Instead, reincarnate it into something fabulous like Lemon-Basil Chicken Bake:

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 7-1/4-Quart Round French Oven, Cherry Red
I had been wanting the Le Creuset cookware set for some time but had always let the price deter me from purchasing. Then I realized that buying these beautiful pots was well worth the investment. Made in France, each pot is cast iron and enamel coated, so no worrying about chemicals leaking into your food.
I love the way my food cooks in them, especially my French Oven. The cast iron heats up and keeps a steady temperature to cook the food and is perfect for stews and braising.

The average margarita can pack up to 550 calories per drink. No wonder margaritas from Skinnygirl Cocktails are so popular- with only 220 calories in an 8oz. margarita.
I personally love Skinnygirl, especially the White Peach Margarita. But, nothing beats homemade for me; and $24.99 a bottle makes me love homemade even more. I like to know exactly what’s in my drink- fresh lemon, lime and a bit of agave nectar mixed with a fine tequila is the best-tasting and most refreshing margarita. Here’s my homemade low-calorie margarita, or “Skinnymom” I like to call it at only 132 calories for an 8oz. margarita (insert big smile here).
Drinks made with prepared margarita mix contain a ton of sugar, and I can feel the effects on my endocrine system when I drink them- which is why I don’t anymore. Agave nectar, especially pure raw organic agave nectar is a type of sugar that is much easier broken down by the body. I use agave nectar in my homemade lemonade, coffee and sometimes tea.
Tequila
Tequila calories are typically high; so using the appropriate amount in any drink is advised. There’s no real difference in the amount of calories between white tequila and yellow tequila- both pack about 69 calories per ounce.
Patron Silver Tequila- 69 calories per ounce
Salt?
The answer for me is “no salt”. Who needs the extra sodium?
