Now and then, I revisit Macaroni & Cheese. I’ve been cooking since my teens (and before), so that’s a lot of recipes. See, I’m always seduced by gorgeous photos (and sometimes celebrity chefs), and always tempted to try some new twist, but I think it’s a grass is always greener kind of thing. With this recipe, I’ve come full circle, back to basics with my classic recipe: the Ultimate Macaroni & Cheese with Herbed Bread Crumbs.
Turkey Ramen
When the idea of making a Ramen with my Homemade Turkey Stock and a little leftover Thanksgiving Turkey entered my mind, I just couldn’t let it go. I mean seriously I was just under the grip of this cray cray idea. So of course, I started with google and I found the idea of Turkey Ramen is not without precedence. Is there nothing “new” in the world of cooking?
Steak & Veggie Ramen Bowl
As some of you know, I’ve been “bunking” with my folks ever since they had some health issues last year; I’m in the middle of nowhere South Dakota (they moved here so it’s not even my home state) with Gibson, my Labrador, Homer, my cat, a few clothes, and a laptop. In a spruce green room…yikes! At least it has a big window…
Pho Ga Vietnamese Noodle Soup
Chicken Soup! It’s so familiar to so many cultures that I had to try my hand at Pho Ga, Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup. It’s rich golden stock and rice noodles make the backbone of the soup, but it’s the garnishes that make the meal.
Chicken or Turkey Noodle Soup
So, what are you gonna do with all that glorious Stock/Broth you’ve made with your leftover turkey carcass this year? I’m voting for this recipe of Chicken or Turkey Noodle Soup – and it’s a long time family favorite at our house.
