Pork and Miso Ramen

April 18, 2013 By Michele Newell 4 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

retrochick.JPGMichele says:

Ramen. It’s a single word that conjures images of students and young newlyweds alike, united by their grumbling bellies and meager budgets.  Most of us have been there, done that—myself included—and if you’re anything like me, you may have also done a happy dance when you finally said sayonara to your noodle heavy twenty dollar a week food budget. … Keep reading...

My inner twelve-year-old is having a field day as I try to describe this spaghetti sauce recipe without sounding like a pervert. In fact, I give completely up, snicker away.

Bobbie says:

Long, long ago, in a galaxy state far, far away, we lived near a lovely deli and in this lovely deli they sold an incredible Greek Pasta Salad at a price that was too high to buy it often, but low enough that I would occasionally indulge in a half-pint container.… Keep reading...

I had a craving for Tuna Macaroni Salad today*, and since it’s a perfect hot weather main-dish salad, I thought I’d share it with you, too. I’ve based this on the way my mom used to make it, but Mom never followed a recipe, so I’ve come up with my own proportions.… Keep reading...

Another week another kitchen challenge. This week I experimented with making noodles from scratch. I’ve made rolled dumplings in the past, so I knew it couldn’t be too difficult, but I was prepared for a starchy mess.

Linguini With Clam Sauce

This is classic, but most of the ingredients are staples, so it can be thrown together on a night that you may otherwise say, “There is nothing to eat in this house!” Add a salad and a crusty loaf of bread and people will believe you know your way around a kitchen.… Keep reading...

Gnarly Noodles

April 15, 2008 By Heather Solos As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Dear Home Ec 101,

I tried making soup out of leftovers, like you recommend.  I threw in a handful of dry noodles but they were really soggy.  Do you think they were too old?

Macaroni and Cheese: Stove Top

Heather says:

I haven’t quite figured out what chemical I’m slowly weaning my family from, but it took a while for them to decide to like home made mac and cheese more than the stuff from the box.
