These low-fat air-fryer Ginger Shrimp Eggrolls are tasty and a better for your option on Game Day!
Using Twin Dragon Eggroll wrappers by JSL Foods, I tuck in the shrimp and cabbage filling and then have tasty eggrolls ready to go in 12 minutes!
In a large sauce pan, add 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil and heat on medium high. Add in garlic, ginger, onion and bell pepper and cabbage. After cabbage has softened, add in shrimp.
Stir in white pepper, salt and soy sauce. Cabbage should be soft and cooked down (about 8 minutes cooking time). Shrimp may not be 100% cooked, but that’s ok because it’s still going to cook more in the air-fryer.
Turn off heat and let mixture sit for a few minutes while you prep the eggroll making surface.
On a large clean cutting board or prep surface, lay flat one egg-roll wrapper.
Please 2-3 spoonfuls of shrimp cabbage mixture on wrapper in the center and across. Roll wrapper around mixture and then tuck in each side. Finish rolling and using water, wet the final corner edges so it will adhere to the eggroll.
Please wrap side down and set aside until you’ve finished wrapping all 12 eggrolls.
Using a brush, lightly coat all eggrolls with olive oil.
In an air-fryer, place rolls inside – you can stack some if you have to, but it’s best to give each roll as much ‘air’ around it as possible.
Set at 350 degrees and for 6 minutes. Carefully flip each roll and cook for another 6 minutes.
Serve with Chinese mustard, sweet & sour sauce or pepper jelly! Enjoy!

This apple pecan quick bread recipe is so delicious, that you may have fans waiting by the oven impatiently waiting for it to come out! You can use any type of apples, but I find that if you like a tart apple pie taste, then…
Roasted carrot soup is a delicious way to use up extra carrots, or carrots that aren’t super firm anymore. Roasting the carrots helps caramelize the natural sugars and adds a wonderful flavor to this soup.
Unfortunately, even though many countries have started or will be starting their coronavirus vaccination soon, it looks like we have not seen the last of lockdown. It is likely to be many months before our lives can again return to normal. It is nice to be at home, but after a while, it can get a bit boring, to say the least. A stage that most of us reached quite a while ago. So, today, I thought I would share some ways you can use your time at home more productively and banish the boredom. (more…)

Every year children are misdiagnosed, causing children to have increased disfunction, or worse, exposure to unnecessary medication that can bring on even more symptoms. Is your child getting properly diagnosed?
Here we are into Fall and sadly it feels like 2020 is going to finish off with a bang, and by that I mean a ridiculously high amount of Covid-19 cases. Many of us have Corona Fatigue, but that doesn’t mean the battle is any less real. As we head into these winter months, I have been stocking (yet again) up on disinfectant products to help keep our surfaces clean. I am loving the Dr. Brite wipes for on-the-go cleaning. Available in three variations: Eucalyptus, Citrus or Un-scented, these wipes are infused with essential oils and are made with medical grade 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. (more…)
When I was growing up, it was a family tradition to be gifted quality pajamas for Christmas from my Grandmother. My Mom would often get new sheets or towels. As a kid, it was sort of a ‘meh’ gift experience, but now as an adult…
Tis the season for rich foods and overeating! It’s not that I plan on giving myself a stomach ache, but I do often overindulge in treats and comfort foods over the holiday season. Post-meal regret often sets in when my stomach starts to bloat or…
As parents, our children’s happiness is one of our biggest concerns. COVID-19 has presented new challenges to many students across the country, as many children are either doing online school or a hybrid version of online and in person school. Many kids are struggling with the new learning format; many children need in person school to learn if they are not good at ‘self-directed’ studying for online learning. As parents, how do we monitor our kids’ well-being? . (more…)
