Shrimp Dumplings
Fun for kids and a really elegant appetizer for grown-ups, these scrumptious dumplings seem special but are easy to make, even with your children. I serve them with low-sodium soy sauce. Topping them with some thinly sliced scallions is also nice.

Prep: 45 minutes
Total: 1 hour 10 minutes
Yield: Serves 10
----
1 (8-ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
3 scallions, white parts only, cut in thirds
1 clove garlic, cut in half
½-inch piece peeled ginger, cut in thirds
½ pound raw medium shrimp, tails and shells removed
½ cup cauliflower puree
1 tablespoon reduced-fat, low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 (12-ounce) package wonton wrappers
1 tablespoon olive oil
Nonstick cooking spray
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the water chestnuts, scallions, garlic, and ginger in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the chestnuts and scallions are finely chopped. Add the shrimp, cauliflower puree, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Pulse 4 or 5 times until the mixture is wet but still chunky.
2. On a flat surface, set out 6 of the wonton wrappers. Dot the centers of each wrapper with a heaping teaspoon of the filling. Drizzle the olive oil onto 2 large baking sheets.
3. Put some water in a small bowl. Using your fingertips, wet the edges of the wrapper with the water and fold the ends together diagonally. Press to seal. Place on the oiled baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers until you have used all the filling.
4. Spray a light coating of cooking spray over the dumplings. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until the wontons are crisp and the filling is cooked through.
Jessica: These days you can find wonton wrappers in the refrigerator or freezer section of any local grocery store.

Pasta with Pea Pesto
Everyone needs a change from tomato sauce sometimes. I love this cold as a summer lunch or warm for dinner year-round.

Orzo Risotto with Chicken
Thanks to the puree, this is a creamy, rich risotto without the fat. Cauliflower and cream cheese make a lovely combination, enhanced with just a hint of lemon.
