Spring Rolls or How I Learned to LOVE Making Ridiculously Healthy Foods

For some more protein, I like to cook an egg (like an omelette) and then cool it and slice it like the shape of carrot sticks, and roll it up with whatever I have around (lettuce, rice noodles, whatever).

I also like veggie or chicken versions with mint or basil.

Also, baked sweet potatoes cut like carrot sticks, add that to whatever you're making. Mmmm. I can eat a dozen! Well, maybe not quite.

There are no Asian food stores in my part of town and the local grocery stores don't carry much in the way of Asian food. I have to travel about 15 miles, so I don't do it very often, but I stock up when I go.

I like your egg idea! I don't eat very much meat, but I do like eggs. I could easily do what you suggested.

I love sweet potatoes too. I'll just microwave one with some frozen spinach. Stir, mash, mix, then sprinkle with some sea salt--voila! A yummy meal.

How about a breakfast roll, with egg and turkey bacon and maybe basil...now I'm really hungry.

Now I'm hungry and want to watch Dr. Strangelove...

I looooove radish sprouts in my spring rolls! Our local Thai place (the best ever) inspired me to learn how to make my own. I call them salad bombs! I take a sweet and sour sauce, 1 tbl peanut butter (good kind, not sugary) ginger juice and sesame oil as a dip. Oh Now I need to make some! I have lettuce growing in my garden right now! And I make my own sprouts!

OOo I love radish sprouts, but I have a hard time finding the seeds or the sprouts in the store. I do sprout my own alfalfa though! Yummm.
