Heat frying pan on medium low to medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Crack eggs and whip in a bowl (beating eggs makes them fluffy but breaks up the proteins).

Cover until cheese is melted then fold in half. Makes 2 servings.

½ tsp Ground Ginger

2 cups Mushrooms (sliced)

2 stalks Green Onion (chopped)

1 small Green Bell Pepper (chopped)

¾ cup Cashews

3 cups Cooked Rice

Cook chicken in oil over medium heat. While cooking, dissolve bouillon in boiling water. While boiling the water, in a separate bowl mix together soy sauce, corn starch, ginger and brown sugar. Once bouillon is dissolved in boiling water, add it to the soy sauce mixture. When chicken is cooked, add the soy sauce/bouillon mixture to the pan. Add green onions, peppers and mushrooms and simmer uncovered for 5-8 minutes (until soft). Remove from heat and add cashews. Mix evenly. Serve over rice.

2 Tbsp Onion (chopped)

¼ cup Green Bell Pepper (chopped)

¼ cup Red Bell Pepper (chopped)

Optional: chopped black olives

¼ tsp Salt

1 tsp Italian Seasoning

1-8oz. can Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough

Your choice of sauce to dip in. I just used Kroger brand spaghetti sauce but you can actually get pizza sauce in a can.

Combine the cheeses with the seasonings in a bowl and mix evenly. Add the peppers, mushrooms, onion and pepperoni (and olives if adding).

Separate your crescent dough into 4 rectangles and push the perforation together to seal. Spread the filling evenly on the dough. Roll up the dough starting at a short end. Slice each of the four rectangles into 4 slices (totaling16 pinwheels) and place on a cookie sheet.

Bake @ 350 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown.

Serve with warm dipping sauce.
