Cooking At Home Again
Like everyone else, something happened to our routine during the days of Covid.
We stopped going out to dinner and became more adventurous with our menus. One of our favorites is Asian cuisine.
At first, we were a bit intimidated, but discovered that even in our local grocery store we could get all of the ingredients we needed.
We even bring out our chopsticks and Asian style dishes to set the perfect scene.
What is great about this recipe is that it is good for a busy night and takes no time to prepare.
This Has Become One Of Our New “Go To” Recipes
This recipe for Egg Roll Bowls has become a favorite. It is super easy. We opt to serve this with lettuce leaves. You can use butter lettuce or crunchy romaine. We pair this with a nice crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a cold beer. Yum!
Even our 92 year old Dad loves this dish. We think we all like a little spice in our lives!
