WHAT'S FOR DINNER ?????

My husband asks me that question every morning, usually within 30 minutes of being out of bed, long before he has even eaten his breakfast.  The town we live in doesn't offer much choices for dining out and fast food has not even been heard of here.  Driving 20 plus miles in the snow just to eat out, well, you know me, it just isn't going to happen, so I have been trying to mix it up a little for dinner, I have mastered a lot of Oriental, Italian and Mexican dishes, but continue to try to enhance my culinary skills.

I live with a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy, and am trying to get him to eat a little lighter these days.  Without telling him, I add things to his dishes "he doesn't like", cook more with Canola and Olive oils and he doesn't even like Canola and Olive oils, but there are some secrets I think are okay to keep. 

As I was planning my day I too, was thinking "what's for dinner".  I perused the Food Network and Pinterest, my freezer and cupboards and decided to try some egg rolls.  I marinated and cooked some chicken tenders and chopped some broccoli slaw

After chopping the chicken and mixing all the ingredients together, I set out to make the rolls

Once I had all the rolls rolled, I cooked them in a little vegetable oil until a light golden brown

I let them drain well, then plated them with a little mandarin dipping sauce I had on hand. 

Hubby must have enjoyed them as he went back for seconds, let's just not tell him about the cabbage.

 

I am beginning to feel the "I want spring" itch, so cooking a little lighter is my way of snubbing winter, knowing spring is just a few short months away.
