THE BEST EGG SALAD
While we love a jazzed up version of egg salad, we always come back to this one for its simplicity, clean flavors and sheer nostalgia. This is the best version of a classic egg salad. It's bright with herbs and the mayonnaise-to-egg ratio is just right, making it perfectly mound-able on a sandwich or bowl of greens. If you are serving a crowd, the recipe is easily doubled, or you can just keep some extra in the fridge for whenever the craving strikes.

Steps:
- Season pork with ginger and garlic powder and mix thoroughly. Heat mixture in a medium skillet, stirring, until pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Set aside.
- In another large skillet heat oil to about 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) or medium high heat. While oil is heating, combine flour and water in a bowl until they form a paste. In a separate bowl combine the cabbage, carrots and reserved pork mixture. Mix all together.

Fold left and right corners toward the center and continue to roll. Brush a bit of the flour paste on the final corner to help seal the egg roll.

KITTENCAL'S BEST CHINESE FRIED RICE WITH EGG
The secret to the best Chinese fried rice is onions, garlic and sesame oil, you may add in cooked chicken, beef, pork or shrimp, also you may add in some frozen thawed peas or fresh sauteed or canned mushrooms, whatever you have handy in your fridge! --- for this recipe it is best to use slightly undercooked rice that is more firm that soft the best recipe is the firm option on my recipe#350260 the amount of egg does not matter, if you like lots of egg then use as many eggs as desired, if you like a little heat then add in some cayenne pepper, I most always do you and you will probably need to adjust the soy sauce to your liking --- you will love this rice!

BEST EVER EGG & CHEESE SANDWICH
This is an old family favorite. I have added a little heat to it with the pepper flakes. Fried onions are also a nice option to make it a little special. Try it with a little Thousand Island Dressing. Cheddar cheese is fine but Cheez Whiz does the trick!

Steps:
- Melt margarine in frying pan.
- Add egg (don't break the yolk, but if you do that is alright too!).
- Gently fry the egg.
- Sprinkle the egg with the salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. (if you don't like hot, leave them off).
- Flip the egg over. I like the yolk to be a bit soft. Polk the yolk after you have turned the egg so that a bit of the yolk seeps out.
- Spread the Cheez Whiz on one side of the bread.
- Put the egg on the bread and top with the other slice of bread. (I like the side with the pepper flakes to meet the Cheez Whiz).
- Return the sandwich to your fryng pan and grill until golden, flip over and grill the other side. (I don't butter the sandwich before frying).
- Enjoy!
BEST PORK AND/OR SHRIMP EGG ROLLS
From the American-Chinese food menu, this is the most authentic recipe for egg rolls we've seen. You can make pork egg rolls, shrimp egg rolls, combos, or half of them pork, half of them shrimp. Simply adjust the amounts of pork/shrimp to your liking. These freeze well and are great for OAMC. You can use ground pork, but for the best flavor, use leftover roast pork or rib meat, especially bbq'd. A great idea is to purchase a small order of ribs from the local chinese resteraunt, and cut and dice the meat from the bones for this recipe, or better still, try Recipe #329856 :)

BEST GLUTEN /DAIRY/ EGG FREE BANANA BREAD
This is a modification of my favorite regular banana bread from my "Home Baking" cookbook. I made it gluten free and Dairy free so my nephew could eat it and it turned out GREAT! My kids, who don't usually like my G.F. food actually told me this was the best banana bread they had ever eaten, even before they knew it was G.F. I used my own mixture of G.F. flour which I will put in a note at the end of the recipe or you can make up your own. Happy eating!

THE BEST NO OIL WARM EGG DRESSING OVER GREENS
Now this is a fairly classic dressing. But I love it served warm over my favorite salad greens. A mix of crunchy iceberg, romaine and red leaf are my favorites - it is really all about the dressing. Toppings ... I prefer fresh slices of tomato, crumbles of bacon and thin slices of onion to me are a must, but olives, cucumbers, peppers, or pretty much anything you want is great with this salad. This dressing is a bit sweeter rather than tangy, but no oil, and a completely different taste that most people haven't had. However, once most people try this, they want it over and over. And kids absolutely love it.

Steps:
- Salad Greens -- Prepare your greens. Whatever you like. Tomato, bacon and onion are my favorites, but any of your favorites will work. This is about the dressing.
- Dressing -- I make this in a small tupperware container or small microwavable bowl. Add all the ingredients and mix well. Heat on medium (power 4 or 5) for 30 seconds and stir well. Then heat again on medium power same thing just 30 seconds at a time and mix well. You do not want do scramble the eggs. Just a couple of times in the microwave to heat up the dressing is all you need. It should be served warm NOT boiled.
- Serve -- Toss with the greens and ENJOY! One of my favorite dressings, and so easy.
