Ramen Noodles were pretty much a staple for me throughout college (as I'm sure it was for most of you.) One of my favorite things to do is to play with the foods from my younger years and see how I can make them taste and look better. Im going to try to reinvent some of the old "kid" dishes so keep an eye on the site. Check out my newest episode "Ramen Noodle Stir Fry" it's one of those quick and easy dishes that makes you feel good.

Check out my article in Tampa Bay Metro. These are some of the pictures from the dinner party I did a little while ago. I cant believe its already 2009! Valentines day is right around the corner.

I am so impressed with the generosity of this man. He has done so much for the lunchbox fund and charity. You guys should check out the site and help if you feel moved... www.thelunchboxfundfund.org "The Lunchbox Fund provides impoverished children in the township schools of Soweto often their only meal of the day. Many of these children are AIDS orphans who are caring for their siblings and whose performance at school is diminished without food. Receiving food encourages these children to stay in school and obtain their education."
