Um. Darn. Recipe still behind a paywall.
When she said “let me get some of that meat” I felt that
MSG is so back
Love the Lawman Easy Blueberry Cobbler. I made it awhile back and loved it!!! 😋😋😋
me and my partner went to new orleans a few years ago, and it was the most incredible experience, culturally, cullinarily everything. I cant wait to go back
Nothing about this is Cajun or Chinese
Uncle Roger would approve this fusion ramen. Fuiyoh! 😂
Mouthwatering
Can't wait to try this!
Looks good ❤
Msg? Fuyoh!!
MSG = The God Particle.
It’s a great dish to make.
For spaghetti to mimic noodles in chewiness and flavor you need to make the water alkaline by adding baking soda.
looks really good! Always open to trying new ways to use chuck roast/steaks.
I have made this, it's very weird to me. I wanted to like it, but it tasted just like roastbeef and spaghetti noodles in broth, nothing special. The green onions etc., didn't make it better.
I use Accent in all my dishes!
I would've left the vegetables in the soup….
