Hawaiian Egg Rolls

I hated my deep fryer. It totally smelled up the kitchen so we could only use it outside. Hated it so I sold it in my garage sale. This was one of the only recipes I ever needed it for but it works just as good in a deep skillet.

10 fresh spinach leaves
1/2 tsp ginger
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb chopped ham
4 water chestnuts
1/4 undrained crushed pineapple
2 Tbsp green onion
1 Tbsp soy sauce
7 egg roll wrappers

Saute spinach and ginger in oil. Combine remaining ingredients. Add spinach. Place 3 Tbsp on the mixture in the center of an egg roll wrapper. Roll and moisten edges to seal. Fry in oil til golden.

Kansas City BBQ RIbs

We are big fans of BBQ here at our house. Real BBQ~not the sloppy joe like things that Dutch folks around here call BBQ. There is always much debate about BBQ. Wet or dry? Memphis or Carolina? Patio or Charlie Robinsons? Well, this is about the best recipe I have found for making them yourself. Tasty enough with minimal work.

3 racks baby back ribs
1 onion
1 orange
1 Tbsp whole peppercorns
1 Tbsp coriander

Place all ingredients in sauce pan with just enough water to cover. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer 50-60 minutes, until ribs are fork tender.

SAUCE
3 Tbsp butter
1 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
15 oz tomato sauce
1/4 c cider vinegar
1/4 c packed brown sugar
salt and pepper

Melt butter, add onion and garlic. Saute til soft. Add remaining ingredients and heat til boiling. Reduce heat and simmer til thick.

Grill ribs 8-10 minutes. Flip and grill 5-10 more. Baste with sauce.
