Today.....Saturday, May 19, 2012, is graduation day for this young lady.
It's hard to believe how fast time passes. Seems like only yesterday that her mama was knee deep in diapers. So many stories.....the joy she brought when she finally arrived. Her first words to me I swear were "credit card". She was the best dressed little gal. I can tell you that her favorite ice cream will always be whatever I have in my cup......but only after she samples everyone elses.
She'll be flying off to college in a few months. We're so incredibly proud of her. She's going to do amazing things!

We love egg rolls in our house! But, with work and all of the activities that come with having a teenager,there just isn't enough time to make those yummy little packages of goodness. Our goal - to come up with a way to still have enjoy that spicy sausage and crispy cabbage in half the time and with less mess. Here's what you need...
|
1lb |
pork sausage - mild |
|
14oz |
bag coleslaw mix w/carrots |
|
2-3 tbl |
soy sauce |
|
2 tbl |
Sugar |
|
4 cloves |
garlic, minced |
|
1 ½ t |
ground ginger |
|
|
salt & pepper to taste |
Brown sausage and drain. Return to skillet. Add garlic and saute' for one minute. Add the coleslaw, soy sausage, sugar, ginger and mix. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook until cabbage starts to soften.
Serve over rice. Basmati is the favorite in our household but any rice will work. Miss the "roll" part of the egg roll? Slice wonton or egg roll wrappers in into strips and light fry in vegetable oil. Drain on paper towels and season with salt. And no egg-roll meal without a cup of hot tea. You can find the printable recipe to the right.
enjoy!
