I love Ramen but MAN is it full of sodium. Yuck! When I make it, I use only half a packet. It tastes pretty good and is not too salty… but Ramen is still not the most nutritious meal. :S I mean, a body could starve from malnourishmane eating only Ramen… you’d probably get more [...]

Here it is. I found a recipe for macaroni and cheese and tinkered with it. Unfortunately, my tinkering ruined the recipe. Oh it looks good enough. What dish doesn’t look scrumptious with lots of cheese, eh? Shesh, even a criminal background check looks better with a little cheese, right?! But for starters– it’s the wrong [...]

I have NEVER been fond of tuna casserole. My mom used to make it with some kind of nasty, pasty flour-y white sauce… and then she added PEAS to it!! *shudder* Even thinking about it again makes my spinal column quiver with queasiness. YUKYUKYUK SO it took a team of horses to drag me into [...]

Oh have I got a new recipe for you!! This is our new favorite. I’m sorry I don’t have any photos– the food is gone as soon as I cook it! It’s an easy to make, light meal that is very satisfying. Easy Shrimp & Chicken Garlic Pasta Serves 6-8 hungry people 1 5-lb bag [...]

I buy (and cook and eat) ramen noodles like I read cell phone reviews: only when I need them. I try to avoid ramen noodles, although my son loves loves loves them. The pre-packaged kind (with the small aluminum packets filled with powdered seasoning) are so unhealthy. I don’t like all that sodium and chemical [...]

I’ve been in the process of trying out and reviewing some new recipes here. I downloaded an iPhone app, iPhone Crockpot Recipe Finder. The app is nice because it automatically generates a shopping list when you save recipes. I’ve already tried a few recipes, the very tasty Cranberry Brisket and the mediocre Beef Stroganoff. Oddly [...]

Spaghetti may not sound like it’s such a special dinner… but we haven’t had ANY pasta meal in soooo long! Yahoo! My daughters put together an incredible pasta meal last week. The FIRST dish we cooked in the new kitchen was spaghetti! And look! We even got to sit out in the DINING ROOM to [...]

I spotted this recipe at Disney Family Food site, and WOW! It took all of 20 minutes to make and throw on the table… and the family DEVOURED it! I love edamame (I blogged about the nutritious little buggers here), and snack on them regularly. The kids don’t like them, though. Ah, but I figured [...]

This recipe is sooo good. And it’s pretty easy to make, if a bit messy. (Italian dishes are always so messy to make and eat). This particular recipe I got from Italian Food at About.com, and it’s called Don’s Steak Pizzaiola. I altered it a little to my liking. It’s a really good dish. Steak [...]
