So, Throwback Thursday and Eggrolls may not really go together, but since I did pair them, I figured I'd focus on some throwback pictures that involved food!
August 2008: Me and the hubby weren't even dating yet, but wouldn't this picture make you want to marry him?!
August 2009: Street tacos in Puerto Vallarta with my girls, Daenna and Cynthia!
And our stop at a tequila factory...with my girl,
Jill! (I guess tequila doesn't count as food, but I like this picture.) Do you see those huge agave roots in the background? That's where tequila comes from!
April 2010: Crawfish with my line sisters when we went back to our alma mater for the University of Lousiana at Monroe vs. Grambling football game! Love these girls and we love us some crawfish! I know it's a Louisiana thing!
And speaking of my line sisters, shout out to all my sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated as we prepare for an awesome Centennial celebration! Oo-oop! If you've been following me on
instagram, you may have noticed the
#DST100Challenge photos!
Okay, on to the eggrolls... I
pinned a recipe for Bacon Cheeseburger Eggrolls. The recipe intrigued me and I had all the ingredients except for Eggroll wrappers. My local Kroger has an entire aisle dedicated to international cuisine, so I was sure I'd find it there.
But, nope...they were no where to be found. So, I asked the chef at the sushi counter and she directed me to produce. So, I learned that eggroll wrappers have to be refrigerated and if you want to try this recipe, check the produce section first!
Here is a
link to the recipe and some of my tips and changes are as follows:
- To make it a bit healthier, I used ground turkey, turkey bacon, and fat free cheese.
- I'm sure the fried ones were better, but again for health, I baked mine instead. That made it more like a spring roll than an eggroll.
- If baking, make sure to coat the pan with non-stick cooking spray. I had to scrape mine from the pan.
The hubby enjoyed the eggrolls and so did I. Now that I know making these is so easy and where to find the eggroll wrappers, I hope to experiment and make different variations of eggrolls/spring rolls more often!
Linking up:
That's followed by enchilada sauce, black beans (recipe calls for refried beans), and a final layer of cheese.
Bake at 375 for 30-40 minutes...
...and voila! Deep Dish Taco Pie!
