Yum....pierogies

I grew up in a household with a mother of Polish descent, and so she made pierogies all of the time. She would spend all day making them and leave them on a big plate on the kitchen table until she was ready to sautee them for dinner. My brother and I would sneak in and grab a few here and there.

Over the weekened a local church had a pierogi sale. Since my mother has some health problems and
can't make them now, we headed out to buy some They had cheese, sauerkraut, mushroom and sauerkraut, potato, meat and blueberry. My mother mostly made cheese but I got some of the sauerkraut it try for myself.

I have my mother's pierogi recipe, which is vegetarian so I make it once  in awhile. They freeze well and they are a good meal or snack on a winter evening.

This article "An Introduction to Polish Pierogi" will tell you just about everything you need to know and  the second part of the article will tell you how to make pierogi.
