Egg Drop Soup
Had a craving for this today:
Atkins variety:
I added Chow Mein noodles for a crunchy topping. Of course, while I sitting there enjoying my soup my sister & mother called inviting me out to the Breakfast Bar at Shoney's! (But I was already full! ;o)

Panini Breakfasts
Panini grills are becoming more and more popular for cooking fast, delicious, and easy simple meals at home. One simply warms the grill, put in the sandwich, and (checking for desired browning) in about 3 minutes (depending on brand) a yummy treat is ready to eat. It’s fun to experiment with different breads and fillings, but here are three recipes sure to please.
Preheat grill per manufacturer instructions.
Each of these tasty recipes makes one grilled panini sandwich.
