Southwestern Egg Rolls and Mashed Sweet Perderders


I take a lot of recipes from this site (link to this recipe), but they have some seriously good Meatless Monday ideas. Love it.
Basically, the egg rolls are just thawed frozen spinach, thawed frozen corn, black beans, and some spices. The recipe called for cheese in them too, but Michael was nice and left it out so mine could be low-cal (and his could be topped with as much cheese as he likes). Pretty simple to make, and pretty tasty. Could be a great party appetizer (although I'd probably actually put cheese in them if I was serving them to guests).

No recipe for the mashed sweet potatoes—we just had about 4 baked sweet potatoes hanging out in our fridge, so we microwaved them, mashed them up with a fork (skins and all), added a splash of milk to help bind them, and seasoned with salt and pepper. It also would have been easy to go more of a sweet route, with maple syrup and cinnamon instead of the pepper. Either, way, super easy and really, really good. I love sweet potatoes—definitely one of my favorite vegetables.
