Fast and Cheap Cheese Sticks

Bubba, my son, is probably the pickiest eater I have ever met.  One time, I chopped up mushrooms into the tiniest pieces imaginable and added them to my hamburger, and this is what I got-"Mom, what are all the rubbery pieces in the meat?" as he tried to pick out each and every one of them.  Oh, brother!

Anyway, imagine my surprise when my pickiest eater loved this recipe and my daughter, Nannie, who will literally eat anything, didn't like it!  Some days you just want to give up, you know what I mean?

I think that I got this recipe out of a Taste of Home magazine, but I'm not sure.  I wonder what the copyright laws on recipes are???

Cheese Sticks

Egg Roll Wrappers

Mozzarella Cheese Sticks (string cheese)

oil to fry with or a deep fat fryer (if you don't have a deep fat fryer, shame on you-that's what my husband would tell you, at least!)

Roll the cheese stick up in the egg roll wrapper and seal with a little water.  Don't drench it.  Just get your finger wet and dampen the edges, then seal.  Fry in oil until golden brown.

The recipe said to serve with marinara sauce.  Come on, people.  If you are cheap enough to make your own cheese sticks, do you think we have marinara sauce just laying around the house???  I used cheap spaghetti sauce instead.  Bubba actually asks for these on a regular basis now!  And I have to admit, they are pretty tasty for a homemade cheese stick fix!
