Uses For Ramen NoodlesUncooked crushed Ramen noodles are great when sprinkled on chocolate or other flavors of pudding for a little crunch. Save the spice packet for making gravy or seasoning soup.
Frugal "Nameless" DinnerWhen I was growing up, most moms were stay at home moms. We were a family of six, my dad sold insurance on commission so mom had to be creative when it came to making a little meat 'stretch'.
Leftover Chicken QuesadillasI just made this this morning seeing I had a couple things in the ice box that needed used so they wouldn't get wasted. I decided after I tasted it that it deserved to be shared! A nice way to use leftover chicken and cheese.
Ramen Noodles With A TwistI like to make chicken flavored Ramen noodles and add sliced cooked carrots in to it. I buy a can of Libby's sliced carrots and just add some to the bottom of the bowl of noodles. It makes a great lunch and is another way to get your kids to eat more veggies.
Cheap Mac n' Cheesy Chicken PastaI like to cook up a box of Mac n cheese and when the noodles are almost done I add 1 crushed up pack of Ramen noodles. I then add the butter, milk cheese packet and the Chicken seasoning packet.
It turns out to taste like Cheesy Chicken Pasta.
Quick Chicken Patty PizzaI had some frozen chicken patties that weren't getting eaten. I put on my thinking cap and made quick chicken patty pizza.
Quick as a Flash Burrito FillingCombine two pounds of cooked beef, two packets of Lawry's Burrito Seasoning mix (any brand will do); 2-1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Done! Wrap in warm flour tortillas with grated cheese. Serves 8.

Easily Cook Rice in the MicrowaveIt's real easy.
- 1 Cup white rice
- 2 Cups water
- a little oil or butter
- 1 4-qt microwaveable bowl.
Cook 20 minutes. You are done! Add your salt to-taste after cooking so the rice will remain tender.

More Mac and Cheese without an Extra BoxWhen my kids were small but growing up, one box of mac and cheese just wouldn't stretch anymore, but felt it would be wasteful to fix two. I just added some more pasta and a little extra milk to the cheese mixture...
