When I moved up North a few years ago, I went to a church bake sale. I was expecting to find the standard fare…pound cakes, chocolate chip cookies and such. I knew whatever they had up for grabs must’ve been good because I had to stand outside in the snow for over half an hour […]
The first time I ever had one of these sandwiches was in the cafeteria at work. It was actually a Panini sandwich. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it, but I’m open to new dishes. Much to my surprise it was delicious. I recreated the sandwich and prepare it like a grilled cheese […]
Make a Double Batch of This Polish Staple! There’s something about putting in the effort to make a few dozen Pierogies. All the filling prep aside, the mixing, rolling, stuffing, and cutting make some folks wonder why any sane person would bother with homemade Pierogi. It might be a lot of work, but once you’ve […]
This savory dish is sure to please the entire family. The meat is tender, moist and very flavorful. The gravy is just heavenly.

Tender pork, simmered to perfection, in a sauce made from roasted peppers, garlic, tomatillos, onions and spices. Wrap it up in a tortilla with a side of refried beans for a “south of the border” treat.
Years ago one of my customers, Geri P., shared her Polish Grandma’s Pierogi recipe with me. While I do have another similar recipe on this site, I want to include this one which has sour cream in it (the other recipe does not). I had a perogi “cook off” with a handful of friends, and […]
