Pierogie Passion

"Pierogies are very versatile as far as the filing goes and can be served as a main dish or as a side. Don't be afraid to experiment a little. As with all my recipes, I try to sneak in as much nutrition as possible and keep to my low or reduced fat goals without sacrificing taste. Just remember, a little can go a long way!"

  1. Cant get enough of them! Delish!
     
  2. YUM! These were crispy, filling, and delicious. It seems like there are endless opportunities for adding / deleting ingredients with these keepers. I didn't have tofu on hand, so didn't use it, but they came out great. Thanks for posting.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Prior to my ever hearing about the movie Julie and Julia, realeased August, 2009, I came up with an idea to make 52 different Sunday dinners at my house over the course of one year. Present would always be my saintly common-law husband Peter, my beloved 29-year-old son Elijah and his ever-thoughtful girlfriend Sabrina carrying my precious grand-darling Arianna along with any family or close friends who happen to be in town. I only half realized the great challenge before me as I tended to eat a very limited diet on a day-to-day basis. Thanks to Recipezaar I've simplified this challenge somewhat with the ingredient search engine alone. While never copying anyone's recipe exactly, I've been inspired by the volume and variety of delicious-sounding dishes at my fingertips. I Thank all contributors for taking the time to share. I'm approaching week 34 tomorrow. Thus far, based on the kids' weekly ratings, I have two five stars!! I'll publish them soon. In the meantime, Happy Cooking!
