*Ali's notes*
Make up the mixture the morning before and then all you have to do is fill them and bake them right before dinner.

Make a double batch and freeze half of them, makes a great snack or lunch.

Pair this with a stir-fry for a complete meal.

Look for egg roll wrappers in the produce section of your grocery store.

Do you like egg rolls?  Have you ever made them?

  8. Ooooo, these looks great! I always shy away from making eggrolls, but you have inspired me. I love that you bake them instead of frying them!

  9. Hey Ali, I'm making these tonight. Do you know how long to bake them after they are frozen?

  10. I can't remember how long I baked them when they were frozen. I think I let them defrost a little bit and then just baked until they were heated through. Probally 15 minutes or so.

    I even did some in the microwave for a quick lunch, the only thing about doing that was they weren't as crispy.

    Hope this helps!
