Egg Rolls

I love egg rolls and sometimes if I'm in the mood I make a batch of them for dinner. They are supper easy to make and very tasty. Hope this easy recipe inspires you to try to make your own at home.

Ingredients:

• Egg Roll Wrappers (picture on the right)
• 1/2 lb Ground Chicken
• 2 Cups Shredded Cabbage
• 1 Julianne Carrot 
• 3 Chopped Scallions
• 1 Cup Bean Sprouts
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Oil

Directions:

1. Brown chicken and add salt and pepper to taste. 
2. Add cabbage, carrot, scallions and bean sprouts and let them cook for a couple of minutes until the vegetables are half way cooked. Set aside
3. Take an egg roll wrapper and place it sideways. You should be looking at a diamond not a square shape. Add about 2 tbs of chicken mixture.
4. Fold corner closer to you, then the two sides and continue rolling the rest. When you are at the end use a little bit of water to seal the end. Make sure you use only a few drops. Set aside and continue making them. Picture on the bottom to help you roll them.
5. Put oil in a deep pan and wait until is hot. Add only 1-2 egg rolls at a time and wait until the wrapper turns a nice golden brown. Remove from oil and set aside on paper towels to remove excess oil. You now can enjoy your egg rolls with chili oil or your favorite sweet and sour sauce. 

Mini Pizzas

I had my niece and nephew over this week and I decided that it would be fun for them to build their own pizzas. So I went to the store and got the ingredients and waited for them to come over. When lunch time came I rolled the pizza dough for them but let them build their pizzas however they wanted. They loved it and it was very easy to make. I would like to thank my friend Sandra for inspiring me to do make my own pizzas. Here are the ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1 Pizza Dough (Fresh and Easy less than $2)
• 1 lb Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• Pizza Sauce
• Pepperoni
• Ham
• (Whatever other ingredients you want to add)
• Flour
• Oil

Directions:

1. Roll out pizza dough, if you are making mini pizzas then cut out into 4-6 sections. Make sure you floured the rolling pin and the counter. 
2. Drizzle some oil on a baking sheet and add pizza dough.
3. Add pizza sauce. If you want the kids to help here let them start from here.
4. Add cheese and whatever topping you want to add.
5. Bake for 10-18 minutes depending on how thick you made the dough. Take them out once you see the cheese bubbling and the crust is a bit brown.
