Nate EllisPublished 6 years ago in FeastSpring Rolls Galore!
Wow, spring rolls! Some people may not know how exciting creating your own spring roll is! No, it is not an egg roll. Egg rolls, you have to boil in a pot of oil and the type of roll is different! A spring roll is rice paper-based. This spring roll is like kind of a burrito-shaped, but smaller and in an Asian way! Like this picture above, being able to create what you put into your stomach, giving it taste and the vitamins that are given into this small piece of roll. What a way of to start eating healthy! I personally love spring rolls and I have been eating them for 20+ years of my life because of how healthy this is, and the benefits that they give. I love stuffing these rolls with all the greens I can put in there and other things; the lettuce, chopped Asian radish (pickled), chopped carrots (pickled), green mints (all sorts of Asian mints), the purple leaf, regular mints, the mint that you eat with balut (the duck egg), the heart-shaped leaf that smells like fish. On top of that, the proteins! Can't forget the proteins! Yes! The protein! The meat! It is what gives me the energy! Or for some people who rather have seafood or tofu in their rolls.

Jessica HerringPublished 7 years ago in FeastHomemade Tomato Sauce
Today I am making homemade tomato sauce. This is one of the condiments I like to prepare and have on hand regularly. I have always loved ketchup and was used to slathering it with almost every meal. I knew I needed to cut back as manufactured ketchup is full of preservatives. My brother drew attention to this addiction and would joke “Your main meal today is ketchup with fries on the side!”
