Kicked Up Ramen

Even as adults, my kids still like Ramen. And let’s face it, the world now loves Ramen…just look at all the noodle bars popping up all over.

I made this with a traditional bag of blue Ramen (we’ve always referred to them by their colors at our house) and added some fresh and colorful fruits and vegetables.

Heck, these fresh veggies and fruit could make a great meal on their own. But not today – today we are using them in Kicked Up Ramen. I used celery, carrots, corn, red and yellow bell pepper and a sweet juicy mango (because mango makes everything better).

Vince (hubby) looked a little perplexed when I was making this but one bite and he was happy. He even asked if we could have this on a regular basis. Now that’s the endorsement I like to hear!
