I used to blog just about everything that I made. Most of the time, I loved doing it. There is just something exciting to me about sharing my meals, and sharing my thoughts on everything that I make. My husband can only listen to me talk about food for so long, after all. But sometimes – especially in the dead of winter – it gets a bit difficult. To take a decent photo, I have to have dinner done early enough to get some good sunlight. Which means that I try to have things done before 3pm, to get my ideal lighting.

Sometimes, especially lately, I’ve wanted to cook dinner at a normal hour. I’ve wanted to cook dinner, and then just sit down and enjoy it. Not taking the extra time to pull out props, set up equipment, take a photo, then pack things away and re-heat when it’s time for dinner. And I’ve been doing a lot more of that lately! (Which is one reason why I don’t have a back-log of recipes to blog about like I used to have. But it keeps me on my toes!) And if you are on Pinterest, you should check out my I Pinned It and Then I Made It board. It’s a work in progress, but this is where I plan on putting a lot of these recipes that I’m making but not blogging about.  That way I can still share the food I’m making without having to actually blog about it!

This Ramen Vegetable Beef Skillet was actually one that I didn’t even plan on blogging about.  But I really liked it, and it was so easy, that I just had to share!!  I rarely have ramen noodle packages on hand, but during my move, I found a couple of packages packed away.  I didn’t know what to do with them, and then I saw this recipe and knew it would be perfect.  And then when I found myself with a half a head of cabbage that needed to be used, I knew it was fate!  I used the whole seasoning packet when I made this, and it was a bit too salty, so I would suggest starting with half of the package and then tasting when it’s done, and adding more if it needs it.  But I have a feeling that half the package will be plenty.

This is a perfect weeknight meal that comes together very easily, and is actually decently low in calories.  And even though it has lots of veggies in it, kids will love it, too!
