It was so yummy. As was this quick eggroll stir fry I made last week. 
This is what you do when you're craving Chinese food but don't want any carbs. And I was able to use things I had on hand. Actually, this recipe is one I found on the back of an eggroll wrapper package way back when my youngest daughter (now 31) was just a baby. We were living on Ellsworth Air Force Base outside of Rapid City, SD and had three little ones, so going out to eat was rare for more than one reason. So when I was craving Chinese, I'd make eggrolls at home.
For the filling, all you need is:
- 1 lb. breakfast sausage (regular or spicy)
- 2 cups shredded cabbage (or a bag of cole slaw blend, which was what I used here)
- 1/2 cup bean sprouts (I did not use them this time because who keeps bean sprouts on hand?)
- Shredded carrots (unless they're in the slaw mix)
- Green onions, chopped (to taste)
- 1/2 - 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 - 1 tsp granulated garlic (you can use fresh garlic, minced, if you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Simply brown the sausage and then drain off the fat. Then add the veggies and stir fry for a couple of minutes. You decide how crunchy you want them. Add seasonings and stir to combine.
That's it! My craving got fulfilled without any carbs.
So on a recent trip to the grocery store, I found these.
Yep, that strictly the "magical" marshmallows from Lucky Charms. I didn't buy them, but I took a picture and sent it to my daughters. One said, "It's about time!" Another said, "Obviously the idea of a millennial." Yes, these were the two that always picked out the marshmallows and left most of the cereal. Though I'm thinking these might be yummy mixed into some homemade Rice Krispie treats. What do you think? Maybe I'll have to pick up a bag.
I'm just gonna say it. I love Longhorn cattle. Regular cattle are okay, but Longhorns have flare. They have the right accessories to really compliment the outfit, right? This one belongs to one of our neighbors, but I want a Longhorn. I have made my wishes known. Doubt they'll carry any weight but, hey, a gal's gotta try. They don't know unless you tell them, right. 
So that's what's going on in Obi land. What's happening in your part of the world?
