1 box of Spice cake mix
1 box of vanilla pudding

2 apples peeled and chopped

In your mixing bowl, add the first 3 ingredients and mix together.  Then add the eggs, water and oil.  Beat with a electric mixer until completely mixed together.  Fold in the nuts and apples together. 
Spray your bunt pan with Bakers Joy.  Pour the cake mixture in the bundt pan and spread evenly.

Shower invitations complete!

Well,I have finally... after a couple of days... I have completed the baby shower invitations that my daughter asked me to make...well let me rephrase that...she actually said...That she and I will make them...lol.  She is not crafty or so she says. But any way I love a good craft project so I enjoyed making them. This was a lot of cutting by hand and also using my cricut.  I just don't know how a crafter can live with out a cricut!   

Below is the front of the invite...I thought it would be cute to make diapers to put the invite in...gives it a extra something...

Below is the back...just something cute to go on the back of the "diaper"

             You cant do some crafting with out a little hot cocoa to sip on...

 

Fall is here and so that means so new craft ideas...Stay tuned!

Chicken eggrolls...YUMMO!

Several years ago I learned to make these eggrolls from my sister and they get better and better all the time.    These are a must try! 



Add about half stick of butter in your skillet and melt and then sauté your diced onions and then add in the diced chicken





Season Chicken and onions with soy sauce, salt and pepper, some diced garlic, (like a tablespoon) and ground ginger



Then add the chopped or shredded carrots



and then add about a bag and half of coleslaw mix

Salt and Pepper to taste
Add in remaining butter and season again with soy sauce and ground ginger.  (to taste)
Sauté all ingredients until the cabbage and carrots are cooked to tender
Then remove from stove and prepare your work area so you can pan fry your eggrolls. 
Pour Wesson Vegetable oil in your skillet so that the egg rolls will be about half emerged in the frying process.
I use the Nasoya egg roll wrappers.  (I get them at my local grocery store)
Set a plate in your work station and a small bowl of water.

To begin rolling your egg rolls place a wrapper on your plate and fill one wrapper with a nice spoonful of your chicken mixture.

To fold follow these easy steps:  One fold from the bottom toward the opposite corner

Fold sides together like a envelope

roll and then moisten the top corner and fold over and press closed.

Fry until golden brown and drain on a paper towel.

These are a meal in itself.  Add more soy sauce if desired.
and last...ENJOY!


I hope you enjoy this great recipe!  I learned from a great cook and it is only right to share it with others.
