Eat Like a Rabbit

From "Easy Weeknight Favorites" by Southern Living. Tonight I had too many eggs and looked for a recipe to use them. Egg Foo Young came to mind. To cook Ramen noodles without the non-vegetarian flavor packet, I mixed McKay's Chicken Style Seasoning and onion powder into the water before it boiled. I added white onions, carrots, broccoli, and orange bell peppers for additional food value. I also substituted Fri-chik for the chicken. I was greatly disappointed in the flavor of the sauce. Also, I think the recipe should have recommended the Ramen noodles be slightly undercooked due to the fact that they would be cooked more in the skillet. Plus, I had to use three pots and a large mixing bowl to complete the task. I'd say that's too many dishes to be easy.

More than once, I have come across an idea in this cookbook and used it without following the recipe exactly. Generally, I felt the ingredients listed were too fattening or had too many preservatives. As I was cleaning up the kitchen, I told Paul to take the book to the "sell or donate" pile. I told him even if we got a dollar for it, it was better than keeping it around.

I highly recommend the Southern Living "Cookies" cookbook. All cookie concoctions have been successful.
