potatoes

Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is heart-healthy and dairy-free.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon is lower in fat.

bread rolls

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Whole grain adds fiber.

Take a prepackaged dumpling mix, noting that each dumpling is in its own little bag.

Prepare cold lightly salted water in a pot.

Soak the dumplings in the cold water until they are no longer rattling in the bag and have absorbed water.

Put the soaked dumplings on the stove and bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, turn off the heat and let the dumplings sit in the water.

Wait for the dumplings to rise to the surface; this indicates they are done.

Remove the dumplings from the heat and take them out of their bags, draining most of the water.

Open the end of the bag to reveal the dumpling, which should be soft and not lumpy.

Add sauce over the dumpling before serving.

Break the dumpling apart with a fork instead of cutting it with a knife to create nooks and crannies for the sauce.
