Chicken Stir Fry

Buffalo Chicken Ramen

Tired of plain ramen over and over again? Try this for a change.

Ramen Flavor Gravy

Don't know what to do with your leftover ramen flavor packets? Do you just eat the noodles dry, like I do sometimes? Don't throw them away, save them. I don't roast a whole chicken that often so I just use a quick way to make gravy whenever  I need it. A few days ago I had venison patties and my husband decided to make Salisbury venison steak. I came up with the idea for the beef gravy with a left over beef ramen flavor packet.

Cherry Nuka-Cola Chicken and Rice

Tasty meal with one of America's favorite soft drink brands. Also makes home made chicken broth.

Picante Chicken Pizza Ramen

Tired of the same old plain raman? Spice it up a little with your favorite pizza ingredients.

Mint Honey Chicken and Noodles

A great stir fry with chicken, honey, fresh mint leaves and noodles.

Potato Squash

This recipe is one of my favorites while growing up. For 2 years I have grown squash and canned to use all year round. I end up with so much squash it should last me for a few years unless there ends up being a food shortage or a fallout of some sort.I usually double this recipe to add meat to the leftovers the next day.

If you want meat, try with shrimp, chicken, beef or venison. The first time I made this for my in-laws, my father-in-law said it needed meat. So the next day with the left overs, I suited shrimp with butter and added to it. Third day I fried chicken in olive oil.I haven't tried with beef or venison yet.
