Recipes

Helen passed along these two recipes this week. I tried them both. She made the potstickers at Christmas. I liked them very much again this time when I made them myself. The picture is of the strudels. I have concluded that Filo dough just isn's my thing. Eric says they taste good, about like quiche. Is there i reason I should switch from quiche to Filo dough? Thanks Helen, keep the good recipes coming.
