Delish Chinese-style omelet- Egg Foo Yong

This is another really yummy recipe. We love going through different foodie magazines and books and making recipes. Most of the time we leave them pretty close to as they make it but it seems we always alter something.

The kids were very happy with this dish! They loved it as did we. Something different to the weekly menu. Try to keep it exciting and the aroma’s in the house flowing.

This entire dish made the house smell wonderful!! We are huge breakfast eatters and thus, this one made us all happy!

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 oz o mushrooms (all nicely sliced)

6 oz Canadian bacon, diced up
