What's for Dinner...?

The inevitable question. With both of us coaching, we are usually coming home right at dinner time contemplating what we are going to do for dinner...but not this week. We have had fun making dinner and coming up with 2nd day dinner ideas using leftovers. Above is a picture of Sweet Potato Dumplings (on left) and Poppyseed Chicken (on right), join them with some green vegetables and you have a wonderful meal. My mother-in-law shared these recipes with us and we just loved them!
