My mom is in town so of course we had to venture out sick and all to do a bit of shopping. We did not make it very far because between Kiera pull everything off of the shelves while she was riding in "the cool cart", me being totally unorganized and Kaiden whining we were done before we started, . We did get to Ralphs though to get a few things.

This was my transaction:
6 Scooby Doo Fruit Snacks 10.02 (-3.00 Q's)
1 Nabisco 100 Cal Pack 2.50 (-1.00 Q)...

My Adventures in Potstickers!

Posted 02-11-2009 at 10:27 PM by ChristineV (My life, My Family, My Saving)

I decided since DH and I are on this Asian themed week of dinners, I would try and make potstickers from scratch. So her is what I did:

Made the wrapper dough:
2 C Flour
1 C Boiling Water

Mixed the dough together then kneeded the dough for 5 min until smoth.
Split the dough into two and roll until it is 12 in long. Then cut each roll into 1/2 slices and roll out to 3" circles.

Mix the Filling:
I used ground chicken...
