Pot stickers and cheese

My son ran in the championship cross country race for elementary ages today. He rocked it. As such he asked for a celebration dinner. He wants his favorite homemade meal, Pot stickers and baked cheese sticks. Now pot stickers are not my favorite thing in the world, but then again neither are lima beans. Cheese sticks on the other hand, I love.  Jasmine is like me, pot stickers are not her favorite either, but she will eat 8 cheese sticks with tomato sauce.

The ones I make are from Costco, I do not make them as directed. I boil them in water until they float then sear them with coconut oil. It makes them better. The sauce that they come with also needs a bit of tweaking. I add garlic and honey to the sauce. It just makes it better.

The cheese sticks are also from Costco. Directions say to fry them in vegetable oil. I do not listen and instead bake them on a cookie sheet at 425 F for 20 minutes. 

Not much healthy about it and not much work to it. I do not even count this as "making" dinner. It is more like warming up stuff. 

Benjamin is happy, Jasmine is content, Hubby loves both and I am done with dinner in less than 30 minutes.
