What’s Cooking: Vegan Dumplings

So the quarantine continues at my house.

Over the last three months, I have learned how to make a lot of great food.  Recently, I started to venture into foods I would usually just buy premade.  I love eating fried dumplings! I order them every time I go to an Asian restaurant.

I realized over the quarantine that it might be cheaper for me to make them from scratch, so I started experiment with some recipes online and created a very tasty treat!

What’s Cooking: Quarantine Edition

I have been working from home for the last 15 years, so this staying home business is nothing new to me.  However, this lockdown has forced me to do more things at home to distract my attention from the horrible public health crisis we are currently dealing with worldwide. I’ve done more house cleaning, reading books, Zoom meetings, and binge-watching TV in the last month than I have done in the last year.

I am also cooking more, and trying new recipes.  I discovered this woman on YouTube under the name Stove Top Kisses, who does some of the most sumptuous recipes I have tasted in a while.  The narrating cook is also a lot of fun to listen to!

Here are a few of my recipes I have tried so far:
