Chicken Noodle Soup has always been a favorite to me. My mom has had this recipe forever and when my grandmother had a day care center, she cooked it for the kids. And the moms could never understand why their kids refused to eat the soup they warmed from a jar. Those were good memories.

Pizza has so many options. And, I believe, when made properly can be exceptionally balanced and rather good for you. I like to focus on flavor, less cheese, and a less oily crust. The first time I made a pizza at home was when I was taking care of my father while my mother was visiting my grandmother. His response was "Well, I hope you learned your lesson." Fortunately, that was a number of years ago. But to tell you the truth, cooking is always a learning process.

From "Easy Weeknight Favorites" by Southern Living. Tonight I had too many eggs and looked for a recipe to use them. Egg Foo Young came to mind. To cook Ramen noodles without the non-vegetarian flavor packet, I mixed McKay's Chicken Style Seasoning and onion powder into the water before it boiled. I added white onions, carrots, broccoli, and orange bell peppers for additional food value. I also substituted Fri-chik for the chicken. I was greatly disappointed in the flavor of the sauce. Also, I think the recipe should have recommended the Ramen noodles be slightly undercooked due to the fact that they would be cooked more in the skillet. Plus, I had to use three pots and a large mixing bowl to complete the task. I'd say that's too many dishes to be easy.
