Tonight I made them and even got some assistance from my teenager. We used egg roll wrappers so they were full sized eggrolls. I didn't measure my veggies, but we had enough for 12 full-sized eggrolls. They came out great and I would definitely make them again. At half the calories of store-bought frozen ones in addition to having no chemical additives (besides the wrapper ingredients) they are a win-win. I modified the recipe, which I think is very common for cooks to do. My fresh ginger was bad so I used dried and I added mushrooms just because we like them. They came out crispy, tasted delicious, and a bit of sweet chili sauce made them a satisfying meal.
Some things stay the same but some things should always be in the process of changing. I feel that way about myself. I don't want to be the same person I was 20 years ago, 5 years ago, or even 1 month ago. I should be different. I should be growing and changing. My mind should not be stagnant but embracing new ideas or refining old ones. I should always find myself on a continuum of change.

Homemade Eggrolls
My mom used to make eggrolls when I was a kid. They were great but they were fried in oil so they wouldn't be considered the healthiest. I recently came across this recipe for homemade eggrolls in the VT magazine. What caught my attention was the fact that they were baked.
