Okay, my friend Erin challenged me to post some recipes. I'm going to start by saying that if you're looking for some healthy food to serve your family, you're looking in the wrong place. Now if you're looking for some really yummy recipes, you're in the right place. Here you go:

Cook sausage and drain. Stir in beans, mexicorn, tomatoes, and rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered for 5-10 minutes or heated through. Place 1/3 cup mixture in egg roll wrappers and fold together as instructed on package. Fry egg rolls in 1 inch of oil heated to 375 degrees for 30 seconds on each side or until golden brown. Drain excess oil.
