Easy Apple Pie Dumplings

Sweet Potato & Kimchi Pot Stickers (Gyoza)

I received the Twin Dragon Asian Gyoza Wrappers free for this recipe as part of the Twin Dragon Asian Wrapper Blogger Recipe Challenge. Happy Monday, everyone! As a kid, I grew up with pierogi.

My family and I have been looking to eat more vegetarian meals. My husband and I are trying to lose weight, and we all are striving to eat healthier in general.

We cheat a little on the weekends, but during the week, I have been trying to serve at  least a few vegetarian dinners. My kids and I really like Mexican food, so I made a quick bean salsa one recent week night. The salsa can be served in a tortilla, as a side dish, or as part of a main dish green salad.
