Friday Food ~ Pork Egg Rolls

Who loves egg rolls?? My husband occasionally comes home to find me making eggs rolls, one of his favorite! It's always a special treat since they take a bit of time and after a full day at work and 2 small boys, quicker dinners is normally what I make.

Pork Egg Rolls

What you need:

1 lb ground pork
1/2 cup salad shrimp, chopped
oil for frying
1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage
1-1 1/2 cups bean sprouts
3 cloves garlic
5-6 TBS soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
1 pkg egg roll wrappers
sweet and sour sauce (for dipping)

How to:

Cook pork until done and set aside.
Fry cabbage for a few minutes in the oil.
Add the shrimp, bean sprouts, garlic, soy sauce and sugar. Fry for a few minutes longer.
Add cooked pork and cook for a few additional minutes.
Remove from heat and but 1/3 cup pork mixture in each wrapper. Fold both sides in a roll up. When you get to the tip, moisten wrap corner before completely rolling closed.
Fry egg rolls in 1" of oil until each side is golden brown.

There you have it! Do you have other egg rolls you like to make? We'd love to hear about them!

Saturday Spotlight Feature ~ Week 7

OH MY WORD. I know its a couple days late. My little one ended up falling ill over the weekend and I just lost track of things. However I would rather be late than not post at all because I did have an awesome feature to share with you.

So I would LOVE to introduce Alissa from Creative with Kids

In my house we love to paint. A while back I was on pinterest and came across this awesome thing to do for painting on the go for my son during our fishing and camping trips. Well with spring on the horizon most families are starting to plan their spring break vacations and I had to share this great on the go painting activity for your kids.

"Watercolor fun you can take with you! I’m so excited about this simple little idea! These homemade just-add-water paint pages make it easy to say “yes” to painting, and we can take them on hikes or picnics! All you need is some watercolor paper and tubes of watercolor paint.

I used KOI Watercolors but any liquid water colors will do, those are just what I had on hand."

What an neat idea!!! I know I can't wait to do this on our next family vacation. You can also follow Creative with kids on her Facebook Fan Page
