Egg rolls are a versatile food. They can be a snack, an appetizer, or a meal. The fillings are infinitely customizable, so you can make the egg rolls to fit your taste and/or dietary needs. Of course that is, if your dietary needs include anything that gets fried in hot oil!

Spicy Green Beans
I’ve mentioned a couple times before that I worked in a superior Asian/Fusion restaurant in college. Every dish I ate there was delectable, and Spicy Green Beans was yet another dish I had to learn how to make at home. This dish is incredible as is, but is very adaptable to your taste. …
Simple Meat Lasagna
My “go to” recipe when it comes to lasagna is of the spinach variety. I wanted to try something a little bit different, so I decided to make a meat lasagna. I think the results were delicious!
