Shrimp Spring Rolls

Shrimp Spring Rolls
Shrimp spring rolls are my favorite.  As much as I like to think that I am a pretty good cook, and have definitely gotten better over the years.  Visual learning is the best way for me to learn and I can watch a few YouTube videos and get the gist of the recipe.

I was going to post the recipe for my cream cheese scones I brought to work for treats day – but every single one got eaten before I was able to take a picture.  Promise to post it on Monday because they were so good!

Shrimp and Green Bean Stir Fry
Even though these sous vide bites don’t look that appetizing – they are delish!  Light, fluffy.  I did have several people make them yesterday (who knew so many people had the silicone muffin cups!) and here are a couple tips so they cook in the 20 minutes – make sure that the water bath line is 3/4 up the side of the muffin cup –...
