Crunchy Ramen Salad

This is Mama Miche, and today, in my magic kitchen: Crunchy Ramen Salad 

I love salads and salad diversity even more. Because, like, every day it's the same old thing: variety. Variety is the spice of life; I am a spicy girl who will get bored if I don't shake it up in the kitchen.

This salad needs to join your salad itinerary. It's simple! Easy to make with the bag o' slaw, crushed ramen noodles, and almonds roasted for that extra crunch, some scallions, edamame, matchstick carrots, and mandarins for a bit of sweetness! Can you say yummy? Make this and make your kitchen magic! MMMK!

Peanut Sauce

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Peanut Sauce

Didja’ know that I was born in Saigon and lived in Bangkok until I was 4 years old? Fun fact: Although my parents were American, they didn't speak much English to me, so I learned English in kindergarten when we moved to New York.

Southeast Asian food rocks my world. You should make this quick and versatile dip even if your PB jar is full. Peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic, chili flakes, and pepper come together to make a delicious dip. Add to cucumbers, salad, noodles, or satay! It's versatile and fucking fantastic in so many ways. You should make it and make your kitchen magic! MMMK!

Boursin-ish Cheese

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Boursin-ish

I have always loved cheese. I'm a cheesy girl, I admit it. I'm also a girl who loves to save money and eat healthier at the same time. My BFF, Lauri, used our Twice Stolen Spice™ to make her homemade Boursin-ish cheese. I asked her what else she used, and here we are.

Zucchini Kugel Muffins

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Zucchini Kugel Muffins

Passover Seder is a festive celebration of freedom and a symbolic, ritualized meal commemorating the Israelites' liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. We eat specific foods in a structured order of events, including retelling the Exodus story. Behind every single Jewish holiday is this simple mantra, "We fought. We won! Let's eat!"  if you know you know, that in a rush to leave Egypt, the Israelites could not wait for bread to rise so nothing leavened is eaten during the week-long commemoration.

Salmon Croquettes (GF/DF)

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Salmon Croquettes (GF/DF)

I'm the Jew that does not love gefilte fish, especially from a jar. I've had homemade, which is slightly more palatable to my taste, but I would rather eat just about anything instead of what I call the hot dog of fish.
