This easy-to-make, flavorful dish will impress your family or friends and have them coming back for more!

Believe it or not, I'm not a fan of cheese and try to avoid it whenever possible. So dishes that are stuffed with things like ricotta turn me off. I created this dish as a compromise to my cheese avoidance and my husband's love of Italian food. Serve this with garlic bread and a salad for a wonderful family dinner.

I admit it, I still love ramen. In this yummy recipe, expect fast, easy, and spicy with salty, sweet, and sour flavors kicking in. The spiciness level can be adapted to your taste by adjusting the chili garlic sauce. This will make 4 side servings or 3 hearty main course servings.

This delicious yaki udon stir-fry is similar to yakisoba, but it's made with thick, white udon noodles and tossed with a much simpler sauce. Often used in soups, udon noodles are also delicious fried — the texture is just awesome because they are chewy. Try to find frozen or fresh udon noodles. Dried udon noodles will work, but you'll lose some of the signature texture.
