Banana Eggrolls at the King Home

Every Thursday, we hold a Chef Carol's Culinary Corner to try to broaden our residents food knowledge. On this particular day, we made Banana Eggrolls. Besides having the residents eat a banana as a dessert and in a different way, there was a resident who has not had a banana for 30 years and decided to eat the Banana Eggroll.
