Snack Attack: Pumped Up Ramen & Baked Parmesan Encrusted Talapia

so, i was hungry not too long ago and then I thought of two things. The talapia in my fridge and the ramen in my cabinet. I did the obvious: Made the ramen and baked the fish. Sounds good right? Yes. Yes It is.

The talapia was from the grocery store, pre-crusted. But the ramen I made myself ^^ Enjoy my Pumped Up Ramen~

Ramen seasoning list:
Calamansi [there's that word again!]
Seasoned Salt from Red Robin [they sell it, 3 bucks a bottle~]
Ramen Packet.

Cook the ramen like you would but in the bottom of the bowl pour in this order:
-seasoning packet first
-then the calamansi
-last the seasoned salt/red robin seasoning blend

Pour the hot ramen in and enjoy that while the fish bakes at 400 for 20 minutes.
It was a painful wait for me.... but with the ramen, you want a little bit of water for that gravy ramen makes at the bottom :]

Take the fish from the oven and let it cool. Cut into peices and enjoy along side your ramen.

to start, gather these below:
1-1.5 cups frozen salad shrimp
1 table spoon hot sauce [for a spicy variation]or Lemon Garlic Seasoning
1.5 shakes chili powder
1 shake garlic powder or 2 fresh garlic cloves, chopped
4 shakes Calamansi seasoning [found in asian markets]
2 tablespoons butter


first:
heat a skillet on med. low. plop in the tablespoons of butter and let melt.

second:
pour the shrimp into the butter, place garlic in too.

third:
let this sit for a few moments until the shrimp start to cook, then add the chili powder, the calamansi and lemon garlic seasoning and stir.

fourth:
let this condense into a thick gravy like feel and pour over rice or eat with a side of bread!!

Enjoy!!

Sourdough Breakfast Sammich

Yes, the word 'sammich' is needed for this amazing piece of breakfast technology! It is a tower of cheese, egg, sausage and sourdough bread!! (Well, ok, I admit, it's a three layer sammich that is filling and hearty. advised to eat with a fruit cup~) This single decker but oh-so-ooey-gooey breakfast giant is a creation of mine when I was going to school and needed something I could take on the go that was all the goodness of homemade food from my grandmother in a packaged fast food sandwich style.

This one's for you Nye~! :]

So, start of with this stuff here:
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 frozen sausage patty
2 pieces sourdough bread [or any kind you wish]

you want a litte grease from the and some of the pam to cook the egg in.

Food, Baby!!

Well, this is my first shot at a food blog. I'm glad I did it though, so I can share with the world what I LOVE to eat :]I really like to cook savory dishes that are simple and flavorful (maybe not so much healthy, but still!) and I also love to bake, experimenting with different flavor combonations and ingredients to boxed mixed to make them taste homemade.

I hope in this effort to keep my love of food alive, I can get my grandmother to try new things with me :]

She was the inspriation to cook. She is the inspriation to be a pastry chef. She is the inspriation (along with my fiance!) to make this blog. And those are just PEOPLE muses!! :D

So, sit back with an empty tummy and an open heart. You might want to try these tasty yet satisfying delights~
