Editor's Choice
When I was entering my recipes at SparkRecipes.com a while back (to get the nutritional information for the cards), I had a bit of a suprise. I did a double take, had to go back a page, and sure enough... my Crispy Baked Eggrolls recipe had been awarded with an 'Editor's Choice' label! The even made it on the Top 10 list for the week.

So many people have made the recipes and loved it. There are 82 ratings and even more comments! I get so excited about sharing recipes, it is such a great feeling to know that many people actually *made* one. And especially this recipe, which is something I completely made up (after looking through a few versions that weren't quite right).

The only downside ~ The recipe is not really updated, and I'm not allowed to edit it now. I wrote it out for canned shrimp, but we ended up switching to chicken early because the fishy flavor was too strong (I list it in my Recipe Book as a vegetarian recipe). In the comments you will notice a lot of people that mentioned trying chicken and liking it better as well. Oh well, nothing I can do about it!


While we are talking about old news, and cooking...
I snagged a gorgeous red cast-iron recipe book holder (eBay) ~

And a lovely large black & white serving platter, (Hobby Lobby) for all of those times we have to bring food somewhere. We still need a few more of these. (Technically, I think the plate might have been meant for decoration instead, but I don't care!)

That's awesome about your recipe. I'll have to make a point to try those eggrolls out, esp. since I have wrappers in the fridge right now!

totally awesome about your recipe! why don't you just comment that it's your recipe and after some tinkering, you realized that chicken worked better than shrimp? :)

I thought about that, but it looks like I can not comment on my own recipe (I knew I couldn't rate it). But a lot of people are already throwing the idea around, or talking about how you can try a lot of variations, and that is the idea I was really going for.

What annoys me is the one person that gave it a low review (2 stars), saying they didn't like it with shrimp, but liked it when they made it with chicken. I'm thinking, if the recipe was good enough that you wanted to try it again (with a change), and you plan on making it again, you like the recipe! But so many people on there rate recipes they haven't tried, and that's even worse (that happens on any rating site).

you should be able to add a little "UPDATE" or something. i mean, it is YOUR hard work. weird that they don't let you. yeah, i saw a couple comments about changing the ingredients. people can be so mean on the internet!
