Yea! I’m so excited Joelen! Thank you so much! I need to take a better pic though of my lumpia to be worthy of your fabulous giveaway! LOL!
Thanks too for posting so many fabulous Asian appetizers! I can’t wait to try some of these!
I love all the great eggroll ideas! Such perfect appetizers.
What great filling combinations. I’ve always wanted to learn to do egg rolls and spring rolls.
Everything looks so good! I wish I were there.
How creative! i would have never thought to try all those types of ingedients as fillings!
Love all the different flavor combinations, I’d never thought of an Italian version. It all looks delicious!.
So many great filling ideas! Plus, the eggrolls all look perfect. Awesome shape and nice golden color. Mmmm.
I wish I could cook like you. You amaze me with your recipes.
All those fillings sound delicious to me. My only problem with springrolls is that I can’t stop eating them so it always helps having someone telling me “we need to go now, Lore” 🙂
Those crab rangoons look sooo tempting!
Yum on Italian egg rolls! Fabulous.
Oooh what a fabulous idea for appetizers!! I definitely want to try some of these!
Wow! These delicious lumpia are making me sooo hungry.:)
Oh I wish I lived near you I would so sign up for this. Italian egg rolls sounds so yummy.
You keep really busy, how you do it all I have no clue. But you do it so well.
Everything looks great – I even made something for this event, but didn’t get it in to you in time. Maybe next round :)!
