Best Food Ever

This sounds like it's coming from Oparah Winfrey's mouth....BEST FOOD EVERRRRRRRRRRR!! Anyway, the other day Sydney and Lizzy had to go to our next door neighbors house after school because the babysitter couldn't make it.  When Sydney came home, I was delighted to know that she already ate dinner and I didn't have to make the picky eater anything! She said, "mom, oh my gosh, they have the best food ever."  I was like, by all means, you eat nothing, so whatever it is, find out so I can make it for you.  Her response...Ramen Noodles.  Seriously?? That's like the worst food possible for you. It's literally 10 cents for each one, which is why I ate this stuff in college. There was no way I was buying her these.

The other day I was at the store, and they had Ramen noodles somewhat close to the checkout lane, so I grabbed one just to be nice.  She was literally over the moon and made it right away.  And guess who was super sad...Lizzy...she loves the stuff too...crazy! So, the last time I was at the store, I grabbed 5.  Jason definitely questioned my decision and said I should not be buying this stuff.  But it literally makes them so happy.  It's not like they're eating it every day...just every other day! And I mean, If they're going to make their own dinner...go ahead!  They don't make what I make anyway!  I've been making chicken pot pie, lasagna roll ups, chicken stir fry and they look at it and are basically brought to tears by the look of the food.  Sydney decided that she would make two at a time, one for her and one for Lizzy, but only use one of the seasoning packets to make it healthier...ha!

I don't know how bad this stuff is for you, but they are obsessed.  So, I guess the question is...to eat Ramen? Or not to eat Ramen?  All I know is...she's going to have a cheap food bill in college.We'll save wherever we can!
