I love pierogi and I make them pretty good. My first husband was Polish and I used to help make them with my former MIL. My favorite filling is cabbage and mushroom. Or farmer's cheese filling with blueberries (these kind not served with onions).

I do mine like my MIL did. Boiled then sauteed in butter with onions and served with a little sour cream.

I grew up making homemade ravioli with my grandmother and aunts and the dough is similar. Ravioli dough is pasta flour (semolina) mixed with regular flour, milk, and eggs. Pierogi is just regular AP flour. I use an egg and milk in my dough because that's how my MIL taught me.

Oh Daisy, you are in for a real treat.

Guys honestly, I don't think I've ever had a perogie. Well I'm gonna work on that soon. It's just not something anyone around me eats. 😆

cw - I hear you. R likes them boiled then fried, which, in the days I ate them I didn't. Just boiled was fine for me. So this is much less work.He loves sauces so next time I will make more sauce and probably add more onions or keep some for the side. Now I'm looking for more casserole dishes - healthy ones! This one is pretty high in calories and fat.

Your road trip sounds like it was fun!!!! I never had pierogies in the east either.

Ah, one of the modern versions! Back in the early 80's my girlfriends and I made a road trip west and I encountered perogis for the first time at a small town fair, dished up the classic way with sour cream and onions. Now that they are readily available frozen many people use them like ravioli, but I still prefer them soft and pillowy smothered in onions and greek yogurt (or gravy)!

cw - frozen perogies with sauteed onions and, in this case diced kubasa but could have been ham or cooked bacon, all covered with a sauce then topped with shredded cheese. Much easier than thawing and boiling the pierogies, then frying them, sauteing onions and cooking bacon all at the same time.

There are lots of perogi casseroles out there Golden, did you make one made with perogies or was it something made in layers with perogi type ingredients?

I'm not much of a casserole person as we didn't have them when I was a child but I saw a casserole recipe I thought would be good - Pierogi Casserole.

I made it for R tonight. It was easy to put together and he pronounced it excellent. Lots of wheat and dairy, so I couldn't have any, but I often cook just for him.

I'll do it again. 👍👍👍

I think a mix of roasted root veggies is "the best" - carrots, onions, parsnips and rutabaga, toss in a handful of garlic cloves too, I can make a whole meal out of that 🤤
But tonight I'll be having leftovers.

pronker - your supper sounds great too. I baked some zucchini a couple of days ago. I am with you re rutabaga. I could make a meal out of it alone. it's lovely in chunks and also mashed with butter (or vegan alternative) salt and pepper. I've done a carrot/rutabaga mix mashed too which I like..

Baked chicken, zucchini and cookies for dessert. @golden23, your stew sounds wonderful; rutabaga is my favorite root veggie!

Making a nice beef stew, with boiled new potatoes and boiled rutabaga. Wouldn't be surprised if R stays at the farm tonight, but it all will keep well and I had to cook up the meat. Tomorrow we go to a concert so he has to get stuff done.

You made me hungry Daisy.

Did you have fresh sauerkraut and brown mustard?

My mouth is watering, I love a good reuben on rye. Mmmmmm!

I cooked another corn beef, all day in the crock pot, then sliced it and made Reubens. They were so good! 😋

Pam, nothing wrong with that!

Cwillie, how about an omelette, if you can afford the eggs. 😂

We went out had a late lunch , so just snacking tonight.

A friend of mine gave me some parsnips, from her garden, I'm looking forward to having them tomorrow.

Editing: cwillie, good choice

I'm feeling stuck tonight. I want something that I don't have to fuss at but is nonetheless somewhat healthy, not soup because that's on the menu for tomorrow 🤔.

Talking about potatoes we had lots of left over mashed potatoes so I made R a brunch treat of mashed potato and leek patties served with sour cream, apple sauce and bacon.

Does anyone make bubble and squeak - left over potatoes and cabbage and whatever else fried up. I guess what I made was a version of it. Anyway he called it a treat.

In honour of St Patrick's Day I'm having corned beef done in the instant pot with colcannon (mashed potatoes with kale). I've got some leftover blueberry cobbler for dessert (that's what I made in lieu of the forgotten π day pie)

I have swigged maple syrup too, though not recently. Maple taffy on snow is the best!

Just tried chicken wings in the air fryer for the first time. Shake and bake drumsticks went well, The plain wings are super crispy and still moist inside. I like them with just salt and pepper. So fast and easy. I'll do this again!!!

Maple syrup isn't a flavour it's a staple, when we were kids sometimes we got a little dish full with bread and butter on the side for dessert! LOL
I'm so happy the weather has turned, the sap is running, and soon I'll be able to visit my local sugar bush to replenish my stock 🍁😄

You're not alone with taking a swig from the bottle on occasion. I am guilty as charged with that.

Marinating pork chops with maple syrup sounds like the most delicious thing in the world. I do enjoy a chop or a nice ham from time to time even though I'm Jewish. I think I might try making some chops with a little maple syrup and bourbon because that sounds like a winner to me.

I just got some real Canadian maple syrup. God knows what it's going to cost now with the new taxes on anything from Canada. Maple syrup is my favorite flavor. I even put a little in my coffee. I make maple fudge which is so good. I will not live without it. If I have to start tapping my own maple trees in the woods I will.
