Shrimp Noodles
Super Quick Meal of ramen noodles with shrimp

Ingredients:

  • Ramen noodle pack
    • I love these: Momofuku Noodles
      • Try the variety pack of Momofuku noodles I have linked above. All of them are fantastic.
  • Previously Shelled and deveined shrimp.
    • I use frozen ones that prepared and ready to cook.
  • Salt and Pepper
  • To add SPICE! Highly recommended (as I am Pepper and love HEAT). Sprinkle on as much as you can handle. LOL

Instructions:

  • Take shrimp out of freezer, rinse and pat dry. Let them sit.
  • Start water in a small pot.
    • Note: I only use enough to coat the noodles for faster boiling.
  • Start heating the pan for shrimp while you are waiting for water to come to a boil.
  • Once water is boiling, add a teaspoon of salt and stir (optional, but I like to do this to season the noodles themselves).
  • With water boiling and pan hot, start cooking!
    • Add noodles to pot. Cook per package instructions, 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Add butter to hot pan and then add shrimp and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
    • Turn pan to medium-high and cook shrimp for 3 minutes. Turn over and go take care of the noodles!
  • While noodles are draining, take shrimp out of pan. Make sure they are now white and completely cooked (and hopefully, not OVER-cooked). They have likely cooked for at least 4 minutes now.
  • Place noodles into a bowl, add all ingredients, top with shrimp. You are done!

EAT and Enjoy!

Pancake Breakfast Sandwich with Impossible “sausage”

by

Lessen Meat Consumption

This breakfast sandwich will not disappoint.

Steps:

  • Make little pancakes. These are about 3 inches wide, or a little larger than a slider.
  • Fry up some Impossible breakfast sausage. I like the spicy variety.
  • While sausage is finishing, add some cheddar cheese to melt.
  • Fry an egg.

Construct! Stack all items between little pancakes. Add ketchup and tabasco, if you like.

ENJOY!

It’s basically a pig in a blanket

Today, I woke up craving pancakes. I ended up truly impressing myself by throwing together this fun breakfast “sandwich”.

  • Contents:
  • Small pancake – see recipe below
  • 1 egg over-easy
  • 2 strips of bacon
  • Optional: syrup and/or ketchup
  • A must (for me) Tabasco! This set will jazz up your pepper sauce life.

Pancake Recipe

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Bob’s wheat germ (nice sweet, earthy, healthy)
  • 2 TBSP softened butter
  • 1 egg
  • tsp salt
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tsp cinnamon – I like cinnamon
  • 1 TBSP sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Milk, about 1/2 cup

Instructions

Start by warming a pan to medium hot.

I wanted to reduce dirty dishes, so I only used one bowl for this pancake mix. I added the egg and scrambled a bit, then slowly added the slightly warmed butter. Note: You just want it to be soft, not hot. You don’t cook the egg. I mixed those up with a whisk, then started adding all of the dry ingredients, seasoning and spices. Once all ingredients were in the bowl, I started with the milk. Add milk until you reach the desired consistency you want to work with. I did not want large, nor too fluffy of a pancake. I added milk until my mixture was was a about as thick as sour cream.

Add some oil or butter to your warm pan/skillet. Pour in your mix. Cook until the batter begins to bubble. Depending on how hot your pan is, you may want to turn the cake over sooner rather that later to avoid burning. If your flipped cake looks GBD (golden, brown, delicous), you can cook the other side about 1 minute and your pancake should be done.

Most importantly. Have fun.

The reason I say that I impressed myself is in regard to the pancake. I am not a trained chef. I just love to cook. As time passes and my experience with cooking devlopes, I realize more and more that I have great intuition when it comes to cooking. I did not look up a recipe, I just threw all of these items together based on my knowledge. These pancakes were really excellent. Since I did not measure any of this, I hope my “recipe” works well for you. Please let me know how it goes if you try.

Once my pancakes, bacon and egg were ready, I was could not wait to dig in, but managed to snap the photo before inhaling. I chose to take my pancake and bacon wrap and dip it into my runny yolk. I had ketchup under the egg and Tabasco on top. Delicious! Enjoy!
