Top Ramen: More Than Just Packing Material. What?

Isn't it amazing how you can go from making an an awesome, homemade, healthy dinner one night to making...Top Ramen the next. It's my comfort food! My best friend Holly and I would spend day after day making massive batches of ramen and veggies. LOTS of veggies! Not even us crazy girls would eat deep-fried noodles with packets of salt and msg plain! We would fill a big pot of boiling water with lots of garlic, onion, broccoli, carrots, and whatever else we happened to find in the fridge that day. I'm out of broccoli tonight, but I ended up with a bowl full of carrots, celery, onion, peas, corn, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds. All of that veggie goodness almost makes up for all of the unhealthy..."stuff" in that flavor packet.



Sadly, I can't seem to find the vegan Oriental flavor in the Top Ramen brand ANYWHERE around here! So now, whenever my mom decides to send me packages from across the country, she uses Ramen packages instead of styrofoam. How cool is that??
