Grandma's English Muffin Bread
Make the dough for English muffins in the bread machine, then bake the loaves in the oven, and toast slices just before eating for the best taste. My grandma used to bake her loaves in large greased cans coated with cornmeal, which added to the English muffin appearance. Today she uses nonstick pans.

Hibachi-Style Fried Rice
This hibachi-style fried rice recipe is quick and easy and sure to be a big hit. One of my favorite parts of hibachi is the fried rice and I was determined to make it at home. I enjoy using leftover teriyaki chicken in my fried rice, but you can use any meat you want or no meat at all! With or without chicken it is equally as delicious and a great side dish. You can use more or less garlic, depending on your personal preference.
