This is a easy Hong Kong style dish that my mom use to make for lunch on weekends or if I was at home sick. The ingredients are simple: broth, elbow macaroni, some meat (leftovers from dinner or Spam), some veggies (whatever’s around). Sometimes she would fry an egg and put that on top. Eating…

Easy Somewhat Homemade Meatballs (with spaghetti!)
I’m sorry about the terrible photo. I left my camera at home and I took this on my phone. If you can’t eat dairy, you probably don’t eat meatballs (or you do, and feel the pain later). This recipe is easy and dairy-free, and totally delicious. I got the idea for using sausages from some…
Pasta with bacon and brussel sprouts
If you don’t like brussel sprouts, this dish is not likely to change your mind. But if you LOVE brussel sprouts, then hurray! I really enjoyed this dish, but it’s not the best thing I’ve ever made. Oddly enough, the Hubster is NOT a fan of brussel sprouts, but still really enjoyed this pasta. Probably…
Vegan(ish) mac and cheese
Coming out of the oven. Daiya cheese has really brought me back to the world of over-processed cheese. It basically tastes like Kraft cheese slices, but hey. Every once in a while I want something junky. This recipe puts a LITTLE healthiness into it. Ingredients: 1 box (4 servings) macaroni. Or any other short, pasta,…

Vegan kale lasagna
Thanks to a Mother’s Day family bbq (and let’s face it, laziness), I’ve been eating leftovers for the past 2 days, therefore no new posts. Now that mom’s delicious noodle salad (a post for later when I attempt it) is all gone, I’m back in full force. This recipe is a variation of Chow’s Winter…
Easy pasta salad
My plan today was to buy sushi for lunch. This morning, my cheapness overcame my laziness and I made one of the laziest, but still satisfying, meals I had in my arsenal. Working Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: roughly 10 minutes Ingredients Pasta, cooked as per directions on package (also a great recipe for leftover…
Simple pasta in tomato sauce
This is one of my standards since it’s reasonably easy to make, I usually have all the ingredients laying around in my kitchen and it’s quite versatile. Working time: 20 minutes Cooking time: At least 20 minutes Ingredients: 1-2 tbsp olive oil 1 yellow onion 3 cloves garlic (or more if you’re into that) 1…
