Healthier Ramen

This is extremely quick and costs about 50 cents if you have the ingredients on hand.

Boil 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Add a rounded teaspoon of vegetarian Better Than Bouillon and a squeeze of Ginger Paste and whisk these into the water.
Cut a handful of baby carrots into long matchsticks and add into the broth.
Open a Top Ramen packet and discard the chemicalized seasoning packet. Put the noodle mattress into the boiling broth and cook for about 2 minutes, adding in a generous handful or two of baby spinach right at the end and submerging all the leaves.

Serve in a big bowl with a couple of shakes of seasoned black sesame seeds on top. Use chopsticks and a soup spoon to eat.

One Egg Omelet

Beat with a whisk an egg with a little pink sea salt and fresh pepper in a biggish bowl. A one egg omelet has a much better texture and taste than a 2 or 3 egg omelet.

In one frying pan, sauté a generous handful of frozen mushroom mix from Trader Joe's or fresh mushrooms until they are nice and hot. Add in some halved cherry tomatoes and some baby spinach if desired.

In a separate 8inch frying pan, melt a knob of butter. Then pour in the beaten egg and tilt pan to spread it. Let cook till the top looks almost set and then tip the mushroom mix onto half the egg. Add a few crumbles of Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar. Fold the other half over and cook for maybe one more minute or so but be very careful not to overcook.

Serve with more salt and pepper and a side dab of sour cream. Eat very hot.
