I was actually thinking about starting dinner.kmorg, but whatever.

problem: cheezy mashed potato mix that tastes like shite.
theory: add a bunch of ranch dressing before it fully solidifies, mix it in, so it becomes cheezy ranch mashed potatos.

it worked!

I’ll spare you any ramen recipes, but simple things work. I had a box of flavored rice, needed something else to go with it. this rice mix says to brown it in a frying pan, then add boiling water + flavor packet and let all the water soak in for twenty minutes.
while it started soaking, I boiled up some chunky veggies from costco: big chunks of broccoli/cauliflauer(sp?) and slices of carrot. soften them up, then toss them in with the rice, mix and stir, soak for another ten minutes.

viola! cheap and fairly quick.

but the potatoes turned out so well that I enjoyed them more. ;)

my other fave recipe is a can of cream of chicken soup and a packet of ramen and some chicken strips. good stuff.

tomato soup + ramen noodles + broccoli/cauliflauer/carrots = good.
