It's time for dinner!

Okay, so I had this for dinner on Sunday, and I loved it! It is easy to make and is very filling. We made one recipe and it filled our entire family of five in one setting.

To get the recipe, go to: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Makeover-Chicken--n--Broccoli-Braid.
However, the yogurt is unnecessary and the almonds are optional. I personally do not care for the almonds myself, but there is a small possibility that one of you may....

Also, you may put more cheese in if desired, as well as sprinkling the top with cheese before it is baked. Of course I would bring more cheese into the mixture.

To further illustrate what this is supposed to look like, this picture is how the final product looks. However, to clarify, you can pack in as much of the mixture as you want, meaning that if you want it more thick or thin, you can make it the preferred way.

Mmmm!

Okay, so this weeks food is going to be pot stickers! They are SO delicious, and are usually served as an appetizer in many Asian restaurants. However, you can have them as a full meal if you would like.

For this recipe, follow the link at:  http://chinesefood.about.com/od/potstickers/r/potstickers.htm. However, the celery and wine are not needed unless you really want it. They are VERY easy to make, it only takes a few minutes. So, lets get started!

To demonstrate how to properly make them, here is a video explaining the process.
In this video: TJ is showing us how the pot stickers are done.

But, where would pot stickers be without the sauce?? So of course we will include this as well. The sauce is very, very easy that it is almost funny. To further demonstrate the sauce, TJ is back:

After all of that is done, go ahead and enjoy the nice, warm things. You know you really want to:) Just as a side note, these pot stickers can theoretically be as large as you would like them to be. If you want them as an actual dinner item, no problem, just stuff a little more meat into each individual one. And you are officially good to go!
