Easy Egg Rolls (Two Cooking Methods)

"I'm always looking for something different and fun. A good recipe to use up leftover meats, too. Adapted from Southern Living, but added a baking method to reduce calories and make healthier. The fried method is so much tastier, but the baking method is a good pinch hitter for those counting calories...which I am. ;-) See this complimentary dipping sauce...Recipe #412580"

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
