Every year we take one day to honor a special person in our lives, our mothers. Mother’s Day is a time honored tradition that lets us show our moms just how important they are to us.

Restaurant Quality at Home!

I would say my biggest eating temptation is eating out at restaurants. I do like to cook at home most of the week, but once or twice a week I get the undeniable urge to eat at a restaurant. I try to rationalize that I’m trying something new or supporting small business, which I am doing, but twice a week (sometimes 3 times!) is way too often. First of all, I’m not sure if what they’re putting into my food is exactly good for me. Not everyone is an organic eater. Another problem that arises is cost. Eating out when you have already budgeted for groceries isn’t the best idea. Today’s recipe is inspired from restaurants. It a delicious Chinese potsticker that you wouldn’t think you’d taste outside of a gourmet Chinese restaurant. Pot Stickers (Serves about 12) Ingredients · 1 lb tofu chicken, shredded · 4 lbs Seitan · 1 tablespoon eSutras Organics ginger · 1 shallot, minced · 1 bunch green onions, chopped · 3 leaves...
