Just add water! Make-ahead ‘instant noodles’ healthified with whole wheat pasta, rotisserie chicken and real vegetables!
I’ve read that as an adult, you should seek out the things you loved as a kid.
Maybe that’s why adult coloring books are a thing (I’m totally going to get one!), and Ninja Turtles are back on TV. I have to admit I can’t pass up the opportunity to sing along to the Disney songs when they come up on Kai’s favorite Spotify playlist, and I have definitely read the Paperbag Princess to Kai many many times.
And when it comes to food, for some reason I always think of instant noodles. I was never allowed instant noodles in my lunch box, and I always had instant-noodle-envy of my friends. I totally get why my parents never bought them for me: full of chemicals, in a styrofoam bowl wrapped in plastic. Bad for your body, bad for the planet, but just so tasty!
So maybe I was feeling nostalgic? I decided to jazz up my lunch routine with my own instant noodles…free from nasty chemicals, and in a re-usable container.
