Metric Jester's Crunchie Salad
"I got this recipe from my girlfriend's cousin who makes it every time we go to her house. We love it, kids love it and our parents love it. There's never any enough and we run out of it before everybody gets some. You can heat the noodles and the dressing on the same stove at the same time so cook time is very short, but you have to wait for everything to cool before tossing it together."

<p>I like food! I like video games! I've never been able to combine the two successfully. <br /> <br />I live in St. Catharines Ontario, and was taught how to cook by both my parents. <br /> <br />I have been working on what I like to call "Quick and Dirty Recipes". They are recipes with very little prep time, and very easy to put together. They are also the kind of recipe you can do on a budget for only one or two people. Most of them you can prep for long before (as long as the cut food keeps) and just throw them together at a moment's notice.</p>
