When I don't really feel like cooking, I am also usually not feeling like going out or buying food either. So I solve my dilemma by putting together a quick pasta meal that comes together in about the same time it takes to cook and drain a pot of pasta. Presto! Dinner's done.
Pasta doesn't have to spend all of its time with tomato sauce. Grab some Louisiana fun and toss it with the great flavors you've come to love in jambalaya and have dinner on the table in less than a half an hour. Now there's a reason to celebrate!
Grab your chopsticks … and a spoon … and maybe even a fork. Noodle bowls brimming with seared steak, crisp-tender vegetables, and miso-infused cellophane noodles will have you embracing the season and looking for more excuses to indulge in this luxurious soup that's so much more.
If you are looking for an elegant dinner idea for Valentine's Day but want to avoid the expected dishes, why not try surf and turf … in a bowl surrounded by crisp-tender vegetables, flavorful noodles, crunchy fried garlic, and a touch of heat? Grab your chopsticks, this is one amazing dish!
Noodles are a kind of comfort food to me and they become something of an obsession when coated in a spicy, creamy sauce. So when something as simple as spaghetti get a fun Thai peanut sauce makeover, it's sure to find its way to my favorites list.
Grab your favorite skillet and get ready to get dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes. Oh, and did I mention that it's easy to assemble, tastes delicious, and is actually a healthy meal? Maybe miracles do happen!
