Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry -Emily

We did a Relief Society Luncheon with 100 different ways to use Top Ramen. This was my recipe. If there are other good ones I will post them later!

2 packages chicken Ramen Noodles
1 package Stir-Fry Vegetables (I use a Mediterranean blend)
1 can chicken or 1 chicken breast diced and sautéd
Chow Mein noodles or uncooked Ramen noodles crumbled

Cook noodles (don’t add seasoning). Drain off water. In a sauté pan, cook vegetables and add in chicken. When vegetables are cooked through add noodles to pan. Season with the seasoning packets and stir. Top with crunchy Chow Mein noodles and serve.

I never get through the fall without making this bread at least twice. It is just so festive LOVE IT!

3 cups sugar
1 cup cooking oil
4 eggs
3 1/3 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 15 oz can pumpkin
1 bag chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Mix sugar and oil. Add eggs. Set mixture aside. In a large bowl mix dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg) Alternately add flour mixture and water to sugar mixture. add pumpkin then chocolate chips. This makes 3 loafs of bread! Bake at 350 for 55-65 minutes.

Baked Potato Soup- Stef

This is for you Jessica!! PS I miss your FACE!

3 Tbs butter
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C flour
4 1/2 C milk
1 14oz can chicken broth
4 medium baking potatoes baked*
2 C grated cheddar cheese, divided
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 C sour cream, divided
1/2 C chopped green onions, divided
1 package bacon cooked and crumbled, divided


Melt butter in pot over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for 30-60 seconds Add flour to pan. Slowly add milk a little at a time while whisking constantly to eliminate lumps. Whisk until smooth and then add chicken broth. Bring soup just to a simmer and heat until thickened, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

Once soup is thickened, turn heat down to medium-low. Cut potatoes in half length-wise and use a spoon to scoop out potato into pot. Mash potatoes, breaking up large clumps. Add 1 1/2 C grated cheese and salt and pepper and stir until cheese is melted. Remove pan from heat and stir in 3/4 C sour cream, 1/4 C green onions, and 4 strips of the crumbled bacon. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Use remaining sour cream, onions, cheese, and bacon on top. I like to have this soup in a bread bowl, and it makes awesome leftovers. Its even better the second time around!
