A Filipino dish I think... soy sauce'd chicken.

"Cheesy Noodles"
* Bring 2.5 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan.
* At a fast boil, add in the noodle bricks of 2 pkg's of ramen soup (your flavor choice).
* When the noodles are about 3/4 cooked add in 1 ramen noodle seasoning pkg (two pkgs don't give much in the way of flavor and increase the sodium amount way too high)
* Place 1 1/2 slices American chesse on top of the boiling noodles; when softened, stir into noodles.
* When the first cheese slices are melted/stirred in, add another 1 1/2 slices of cheese.
* Allow cheese to melt and stir it in.
* Continue to boil until most of the water has been absorbed by the noodles or has evaporated.
* Remove from stove & serve.

Very little but it can be "fattening" (I don't really understand it)

These are supposed to be so much better for you than white rice; and they taste better too.

Thanks Hurley, that's kind of what I thought but wasn't sure.


Another one I forgot, ever since I've discovered it, I like to put peanut butter into oatmeal. I take two oatmeal packets, pour some milk, but mostly water into it, and microwave it for like two minutes. When it comes out nice and hot, I take a large spoonful of peanut butter and stir it into the oatmeal. Since it is still hot, it helps melt the peanut butter right off the spoon. I think it's really great with those fake fruit oatmeals that I love, and really helps flavor those boring ass Apple/Cinnamon, Maple Syrup, and Regular flavors that I hate.

Sandwich and soup is always good. I don't really like much bread, but I love bread and butter and will eat it when I can to supplement a meal.

No prob. After reading my post, it looked like it could be somewhat confusing on the whole nutrients left behind, I edited it for details.

lol thanks I didn't know if it was their own recipe or not. I'm still up in the air about that google tutorial though. It seems nice but also seems like it should say something mean at the end too.?

Kill most of our protein myself, grow stuff in the summer. Trade out with bros in Wash state, AK, and far South except now worried about the far south shit.

I have to tell you... Between the Pansit, Adobo and all of the other Filipino foods she cooks we are eating OK on very few dollars.

we are going through a ton of rice though
