The blog that changed my life: Pink to perfection

It was mothers day 2010 and as a novice sewer I had been procrastinating making a yoga bag for my mom.  So after countless hours of google and you tube I found Pink to Perfection.  I loved her  Yoga making video, funny and detailed oriented, of course mine ended up as a combination of the video and my own creative flare.  I will take a picture of my moms bag and attach it one day. Well 2 days ago I got an email from Pink to perfection with a tasty recipe  inside out pork dumplings, or in my case turkey 

Inside-Out Pork Dumplings
from Whole Living
Serves 4
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
2 scallions, whites and greens separated, cut thinly on bias
8 ounces ground pork (if substituting ground turkey, add 2 Tbsp. more oil)
1 pound baby bok choy, leaves separated and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces if large
1 carrot, finely grated
2 tablespoons white vinegar
6 ounces fresh wonton wrappers*   ( I did not bother with this)
Heat oil and red pepper flakes in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and scallion whites. Cook, stirring, until scallions are tender, about 1 minute. Add pork, breaking up with a spoon until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add bok choy; cover and steam until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add carrots. Season with vinegar and salt. Set aside.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Season with salt. Add wonton wrappers one at a time. Cook until al dente, about 1 minute. Drain. Add wonton wrappers to skillet and toss. Serve with scallion greens.

 My friend and Alisi and I were going to try DineLa,  which is a steal, but sometimes you have to start being thrifty.   

				I had bok choy from the farmers market that was begging to be eating, so carpe diem bok choy.  Ailsi was starving and wanted to order pizza, but I was set on this recipe, she hesitated, but once I was done eating she was super impressed by the simplicity, taste, and over all speediness.  I think she found a new recipe and was grateful that the dish did not take forever to make. Much healthier than pizza It was so simple that I had some left over ground turkey that I made it for dinner the next day, but I did not have any more bok choy so I added some green bell pepper and Spinach, and it was still a success.
