PIZZAAAAA

Made with Trader Joe’s whole wheat pizza dough, a crap ton of mozzarella cheese, red onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and basil.

Note on the TJ’s dough: The package says to put the toppings on & bake for 10-12 minutes.  I did this once and MAN O MAN WAS IT A FAILURE.  What you do is roll it out and bake for ten minutes, THEN add the toppings, then for another 10-12, then hit the broiler on for 1:30 to brown things a bit.  Finicky? Maybe.  Worth it?  Oh yes.

Instant noodles can be grown up food too

So here how to make a delicious, nutritious, and cheap meal in under 6 minutes.

Ingredients:

Pack of stir fry veggies (if fresh stir fry veggies aren’t available, I like green onions, garlic, red onions, red peppers, mung bean sprouts, broccolini, sugar snap peas/ or green beans, mini-corn is good to, basically any collection of veggies)

Pack of instant noodles

(looking for at least 1:1 ratio of veggies to noodles, we actually like around 1.5:1 veggies to noodles)

2 eggs

  1. Boil water and boil the noodles for 3 minutes at the same time take veggies and put them in a skillet on medium heat.  Add the spices from the instant noodle pack to the veggies.
  2. When noodles are soft drain,
  3. Put the veggies into the pot that you made noodles in, then put the noodles on top of that.
  4. Lightly stir the two eggs and then scramble them in the pan that veggies were in (do this so you get the flavor of the veggies and seasonings into the eggs)
  5. And then combine the noodles and veggies back into the original pan
  6. Eat and think how wonderful this is
