Cook for 3 minutes, add that salty seasoning pack and whatever else you want. The ramen noodles alone are packed with fat and calories but very little else. Veggies add some nutrients but overall, ramen noodles is just cheap and filling, not healthy. Jill |

I think ramen makes a fairly low calorie carbo meal... garlic, celery, onion and mushrooms add few calories compared to pasta with sauce/meatballs/cheese. I've seen folks at Italian restaurants and before the meal arrives they're wolfing down warm Italian bread like it's going out of style and slathered with butter... and that's before they dig into a bottomless platter of ****ghetties swimming in some sort of olive oyl sauce. People are too quick to give ramen a bum rap. |

I don't think of it that way. Just as often I prefer an Oriental type dish, tastes just as good, takes less time and effort to prepare, and a great way to incorperate left overs. >BTW, there are vegetables in the red sauce/gravy I make. True, mine too, but I use many more and more types of veggies in an Oriental dish. When I see fresh Oriental veggies at market I'll buy a cornicopia of kinds I can't use otherwise... I like all the various Oriental veggies; especially the greens like various lettuses/cabbages, I like daikon raw and cooked until still crisp. I also grow some Oriental veggies. >A sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan is a bonus! I can't speak for >what others do but personally I don't pig out on bread with butter or >dipped in olive oil. Spaghetti and sauce (preferably with nicely spiced >sausage) is enough. > >Jill I don't eat much bread either, very little butter, and I rarely eat cakes/cookies. I'm also not much of a sweets eater. As I've gotten older I don't have much appetite for sweets and baked goods anymore, when I crave something sweet I much prefer fresh fruit. I used to love ice cream but now I can't remember the last time I ate any. I don't eat much cheese or any dairy anymore either. I've become mostly a meat, veggies, and fresh fruit eater. I know you don't care for salads or raw veggies but those are my favorites... I enjoy a salad most every day, and typically it will contain some 20 different veggies. I even like several canned veggies; beets, beans, corn (both niblets and creamed), last week Le Sueur peas were on sale at $1/per so I bought five... haven't eaten them for quite some time, they are superb right from the can. I even like canned spinach, canned asparagus too only they are too expensive so I may buy one can in winter. Right now I'm looking forward to my vegetable garde n crops, especially the melons. Now that I've eaten home grown vine ripened I'm so desappointed in stupdmarket melons, they are like eating wet cardboard, no flavor and especially no perfumey aroma. Anyone can finds a small spot to grown melons do it, you won't be disappointed. I planted cataloupe and honeydew, and also icebox watermelon. There's no perfume sold that smells sexier than a vine ripened honeydew. Those at market are picked way prematurely so they can be shipped without damage, and once picked melons do not ripen... what people who leave them out on the counter are smelling is fermentation, rot. .. The one canned veggie I can't stomach are potatoes, they don't seem real to me, I feel like I'm eating wax display potatoes. |

I have one or 2 recipes where they work better than fresh, but normally, nope. -- |
