Mexican Egg Rolls
 Mexican Egg Rolls are a fun spin on the classic version. Make a lot because they won't last long!  I made Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls and they were a hit.

Hush Puppies

Today I am sharing another recipe using corn meal. These Hush Puppies are super fast and you can even sprinkle some powdered sugar on them to sweeten them up. They are a great side to lots of dishes like Steak Kabobs or Lemon Chicken with a Kick. I like them on their own as a snack. Hush Puppies … [Read more...]
