While contemplating your dinner options on your drive home from work, coming up with something that is easy to put together, nourishing, and substantial can be tricky. Especially if you’re craving a change. You’ve exhausted yourself with lean green pasta recipes, and if you see another sheet pan dinner, you *might* scream. This is where our beloved spring roll comes in. You could go the deconstructed route and create spring roll bowls, but rolling them isn’t as hard as you think. These 13 recipes prove that it’s worth it.
