Easy, Fast, Healthy Meal

So, let me guess… 

You just got home from work or class or whatever and you’re super hungry and you’ve only got 20 minutes to cook. Eating a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch while your Ramen is microwaving is looking like a good option. BUT WAIT!

What if you could have this instead! (tuhh-duh)

What about the clean up you ask…

Just throw away the foil and dump the water in the pot.

That’s it. 

There are endless variations of this. So go crazy, kids, just watch out for that steam- it’s hot.
