Chicken Fried Rice

Everything in this is what I used to make chicken fried rice. 
Directions: 
Pre-cook the rice. 
Cracked the eggs and put the whole egg in the skillet. The amount just depends on how much you want to make. 
Add the chicken and vegetables to the eggs and rice and add soy sauce and seasame sauce to season.

Pasta Salads

Everything I put in a creamy based or Italian based dressing. 
Directions:
Cook the pasta to your liking
Place the pasta in a large bowl and add what you like. 
If I use Italian dressing I use a meat and then usually keep my additions to vinegar based pickled items. 
If I use creamy dressing I put in whatever I want. 
I have weird cravings so I add whatever I want.
