Creamy Noodles
"I came up with this the other night trying to think of something different to do with noodles. The family scraped the pan clean, so I figured I'd better put it here, so I don't forget it!"

Partly because of Heather's review and partly because I was calorie-spooked :-), I made the roux with 3T 3T. Also, instead of soup base and Jane's salt, I used boullion powder to taste. And I didn't take the time to bake the noodles. As it was, this was a perfect "comfort food" side for our Southern Fried Chicken tonight! Thanks for posting your yummy cReAtiVe wHiM! It was enjoyed by all. -
Excellent. I didn't have any Aunt Jane's Krazy Salt so I used Morton's Natures Seasoning. I will also only use 3T of flour next time, just a tad too thick for my taste. My 9 year old could eat this everday and we adults also found it quite tasty. Keep up the good work!

OK lets see...My name is Diane and I'm married to a wonderful guy -- going on 20 years. We have 2 kids -- 1 daughter and 1 son a 70lb german shepard, a fat cat and a very snobby cat! I work a couple of days a week in the Loop and the rest of my time is spent sitting at the kids sporting events. I love to try new recipes. Luckily, hubby will try just about anything. The kids aren't so eager about that, but are generally very good sports about it!
