These are DELICIOUS!!!

I don’t even know how this became a tradition, but three Thanksgivings ago, we made Holiday Leftover Eggrolls. It sounds really weird, and yet they are delicious. You can make them and eat them immediately or make them ahead of time and freeze them for later. 

The only things you’ll need aside from leftovers is egg roll wrappers and vegetable oil. You can find them at pretty much any grocery store, and they’re inexpensive. 

Ingredients

  • Egg Roll Wrappers
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Turkey (or Ham)
  • Stuffing
  • Mashed Potatoes
  • Cranberry Sauce
  • Gravy

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, heat vegetable oil to the temperature discussed on the egg roll wrapper packaging. 
  • In another saucepan, heat gravy and water to make it liquid again.
  • In the middle of the wrapper layer mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and turkey. 
  • Fold wrapper like instructed on the package. 
  • Once the oil is heated to the required temperature you can put the egg rolls in the oil. Cook for three minutes or until golden brown. Rotate when one side is golden. They will float. 
  • You can also wrap them in tin foil and freeze for a later date. They will take a little longer to fry, but you can fry them frozen. 
  • When done, place on a plate covered in paper towels. Let cool for one minute. 
  • Pour gravy into small bowl. 
  • Dip egg rolls in gravy and DEVOUR!!!

Zero Sugar Cookbook by David Zinczenko | Cast Iron Skillet | Paw Print Mug

When I was 25, I went through a few health ordeals, which made me completely change how I eat. Since then, I have had a very healthy diet. I’m always on the lookout for new recipes to change things up. Zero Sugar Cookbook by David Zinczenko is informative and inspirational. 

I love cookbooks. I don’t actually follow recipes because I know what I like and what I don’t like. I love looking through cookbooks for inspiration. I take the recipes and add and adjust where I see fit. 

Zinczenko gives a bunch of information about sugar and the health effects it has on the body and the mind in the beginning of the Zero Sugar Cookbook. Sugar is addictive. It is also added into so many foods. The book teaches how to read nutrition labels and ingredient lists. Food can be confusing, but it shouldn’t be. There are different kinds of sugars in food. Some sugars are added; some sugars are natural. There are good sugars and bad sugars. The book claims a person can lose up to a pound a day on the diet. I don’t know about that, but there are tons of great tips and information. 

I love looking through recipes. There are some really good ones in Zero Sugar Cookbook ranging from appetizers to entrees to snacks to dessert. I’m kind of a child, so I love looking at the pictures in cookbooks. These pictures don’t disappoint. Being sugar free doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy food. I took a recipe on page 44 and tweaked it, but it still sticks to the sugar free diet. It was delicious.
