Egg Rolls

EGG ROLLS

These are not typical "Chinese eggrolls" They are more of a polynesian type. My parents learned to make these when we lived in Hawaii.

1 pkg. Jimmy Dean Sausage (the HOT one gives better flavor in my opinion)

1 can Bean Sprouts

1 can sliced water chestnuts

1 small head of cabbage

1 pkg. Egg Roll wraps

cook the sausage until browned throughout. drain remaing grease. I like to put it in a colander and let it drip while I do the rest so they aren't as greasy. Chop cabbage. In a bowl put cabbage, sprouts, and water chestnuts (I like to run my knife through the chestnuts a couple times or they make it hard to wrap the eggrolls. Add sausage and stir mixture together. Put mixture by spoonfuls in to wraps and roll. Deep Fry tell golden brown. Serve with Sweet and Sour sauce (we think the red La Choy brand is the best with these)!

Sour Cream Lemon/Lime Pie

This one is for you Karen!!

Sour Cream Lemon/Lime Pie

I cheat and use a Marie Callenders pie shell. You can do this, or you can make your own! The shell needs to be pre-cooked!

2 cooked pie shell

1 Cup Milk

3 Tbsp. Cornstarch

whisk these 2 ingredients together, while milk is cold.

1 Cup Sugar

2 eggs

1/4 Cup Butter

1 1/2 Tbsp Lemon & Lime Zest

add these ingredients and milk mixture into a pot. Heat on medium until mixture thickens,turn off heat, then add.....

1/8 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice

1/8 Cup Fresh Lime Juice

Stir until filling cools, then add...

3/4 container of Sour Cream (approx. 1 3/4 cup....you can decide on the consistency you like)

top with cool whip. Chill and serve. I also like to add zest to the top of the cool whip for some added color and flavor!

This recipe makes 2 pies
