Noodles, Noodles and More Noodles

I recently received a recipe book, called 101 Things To Do With Ramen Noodles by Toni Patrick. Which has some really great ideas of sprucing up the regular noodles. So probably from time to time I will be cooking from this 120 page recipe book. And since I will not have a Noodles & Company near me, it's the best I can do. But I just thought this had some really good recipes. So I think I will share some. So Enjoy!!

Cheeseburger Ramen
