It sounded like so much fun, and I figured that my kids would love to make some potstickers.  I found <a href=\"http:\/\/chinesefood.about.com\/od\/potstickers\/r\/potstickers.htm\">this recipe<\/a> and figured that I could adapt it slightly and we&#8217;d be golden.<\/p>\n<p>We used Kamut Flour instead of regular flour and aside from that &#8211; we pretty much followed the recipe.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy wasn&#8217;t too excited about all of this.  He pretty much hates anything new.  I had high hopes that he&#8217;d help with cutting and grating the veggies and that somehow the actual involvement would mean that he would love this meal.
