Who Knew Ramen Could Taste So Good

Posted on by Mama

I made a new salad favorite for Easter last weekend — Ramen Noodle Salad. It’s super easy to make and customize to your own taste; plus, it seems to be a crowd pleaser, judging by the lack of second helpings to be had. The basic recipe was posted online by Food.com

Popcorn is in the Bag

Posted on by Mama

paperbagI love to snack on fresh popcorn but sometimes I hate to drag out the loud air popper, especially if my son is sleeping right down the hall. So I finally tried the microwaveable brown paper bag technique I’ve heard about for years, and it works like a dream.

Just add about 1/3 cup of uncooked popcorn to a lunch-size brown paper bag, fold over the top a couple of times and microwave it between two and three minutes, depending on your microwave. Let it cool for a bit, pour it into a bowl and top with salt and/or butter. It’s yummy, quick and easy.
