Did you enjoy your Thursday? I got to work early early again. I took a break to take Body Pump and then finished off my day. After work, I cleaned the house and got my oil changed. The best part about the place where I get my oil changed is that it is connected to a Starbucks ;)
Tonight I made an easy, easy dinner (I'm not sure you can even call this making dinner haha). I boiled up some Mrs. T's MINI Pierogies. Before I went to Penn State, I had never even heard of pierogies. My freshman year roommate introduced me to them and ever since then, I get a craving for them once or twice a year. Basically its like a ravioli but instead of just cheese inside, there is potato and cheese (or onion, or broccoli...there are a bundle of varieties):
I also boiled up some edamame and corn to serve with the pierogies. My bowl:
And baked up a piece of Chicken to add to Josh's bowl:
I also ended up adding some chickpeas to both (not pictured). It was very yummy. You can also fry the pierogies, but I prefer them boiled!
Time for a shower and some relaxing! Weekend plans???
omg, when i first learned to use the microwave properly I used to LIVE on those pierogies! who knew they came in mini?!
ReplyDeleteHaha, keeping warm is my only plan!
ReplyDeleteI bet Frank will miss having you at home with him!

ReplyDeletei've got a fun weekend ahead with the girls :D hope yours is wonderful as well!
PIEROGIES!!!!! Nostalgia alert!!!! :-D
ReplyDeleteHang in there with work!!
My hubby would LOVE that dinner!
ReplyDeleteWe are going to see Monster Trucks this weekend! Should be fun!!! :)
i've never heard of those before! i'll have to see if i can hunt them down! but do they always have cheese? lactose intolerance would make those no so great then...
ReplyDeleteand this weekend...i work, the whole thing...into next friday. oiy!
I haven't had pierogies in years! My mom used to buy them when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI'm going down to Raleigh to visit a friend this weekend, then I may look at some of the new model homes when I'm off on Tuesday.
my freshman year roomie introduced me to perogies too! they're good with sauteed onions and some sour cream! i've never seen the mini ones though, they are too cute!
ReplyDeleteI used to eat those ALL THE TIME! Not that brand but something just like that.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell I'm polish?! haha
mmm, pierogies, i almost forgot i have some (homemade) ones in my freezer from xmas!! something to look forward to :) you definately have to try making these yourself sometime!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of pierogies until now! Quick and yum dinners are definitely a good thing though! : )
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting about your parents!! I'm currently six hours away from mine (and my sister), so I understand that must be exciting!
You should definitely go to that movie and have some fun for me, haha ;) (We'll try to fit in at least a little fun, though! That suggestion of treating ourselves sounds nice)
Hope you have a wonderful Friday (even though you don't get to work from home)!
Haha I'm such a dork - I voted for Tina (Carrots n Cake) in the Boboli Pizza contest and the first thing I thought of when I saw "pierogies" was the pierogie pizza that's also a finalist. Are these just like a polish ravioli?
ReplyDeleteAnyway! Weekend plans may include a Orlando trip (we're a little over an hr away), and maybe a free comedy show on Sunday night. And it's a long weekend cuz hubby gets school (he's a teacher) off Monday for MLK day!
I LOVE pierogies!! There's a pretty big Polish population near Detroit and let me tell you - delish pierogies :)
ReplyDeleteLess than a week until Lost!!
my dad is part polish- I grew up in pittsburgh PA and had these Mrs T's all the time! I also went to Penn State Main freshman year!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid we already establish that? well if we did- i forgot and i did not rememeber you went there too! :-)
i asked the same thing on my blog about weekend plans before i checked your post! hee hee- I don't actually have plans at all!
I can't believe you can only walk frank 1/2 mile!! poor thing!
Jack cut his jaw on something- what I have no clue- I am terrified because it looks like a cancerous tumor.
so i will probably make a vet appointment this weekend
Pierogies are so good! I have not had them since I was little! What a great quick dinner idea!
ReplyDelete:)
I used to have those pierogies all the time! Love how you mixed it with veggies and chicken! Have a wonderful night!
ReplyDeleteThat is the brand Mark eats, too! I don't know - I just don't care for them like he does.
ReplyDeleteI used to eat those pierogies all the time! They are so yummy!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever had pierogies. They sound goood! Ugh, our Whole Foods did not have the chocolate cherry Bumble Bars today. So wanted one after both you and Heather said they were the best. Bummer!
ReplyDeleteWeekend plans - treating my mom to a massage (by me) and lunch for her birthday on Saturday. We're leaving the hubbies behind for a girly day. :)

ReplyDeleteThe Polish girl in me loves pierogies! I haven't had them in ages, but I think I always had Mrs. T brand! I didn't know they made Minis - I'll have to look for those!
ReplyDeleteToo bad you can't continue working from home. But I'm glad that you enjoyed it while it lasted!
Weekend plans: celebrating BOBBY'S NEW JOB!!

ReplyDeletePierogies? I LOVE pierogies!!!
ReplyDeleteNever heard or seen pierogies but they look yummy.
ReplyDeleteThat is most definitely making dinner! Putting food on the table doesn't always have to be time consuming. Sounds like a great weeknight meal! What kind of analyst are you?
ReplyDeleteI also was a pierogie virgin until college! They're so yummy, I haven't had them in ages though!!
ReplyDeleteLooks so yummy! I have a 3 day weeknd :) I think I am going to the lake with my family on Saturday so that should be TONS of fun!
ReplyDeleteMy lunch soup was vegetarian store bought minestrone and my soup at dinner was homemade - def. loving the homemade soup more!
Pierogies look good! How are they calorie wise, though?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever had pierogies, but they sound kinda good. I'm going dancing tomorrow, I can't wait..it's been ages. Have a great Friday!
ReplyDeletethey look kewl- i've never heard of them, oh but i love the corn/edamame combo- yum!
ReplyDeleteI found somewhere in Australia that sells those bumble bars you were talking about, they only sold one flavor though- the chai & almonds. Anyway i'm really excited to try it thanks so much for showing me these bars- didn't even realise they existed before
Have an awesome day girlie
My weekend plans include hanging out with some bloggers and getting ready for school to start next week!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen mini pierogies - how cute. I used to buy pierogies all the time but have not in a while - you just reminded me that I like them - thanks. This weekend we are going to a my nephews 3rd birthday party at some sort of playhouse - lots of noise and craziness.
ReplyDeleteI bought the Vita Coco at Whole foods.

ReplyDeleteA friend of mine will be in town this weekend so hopefully getting to have dinner with her! can't wait!
I have never tried Pierogies, but have always glanced at them at the grocery. I should pick some up - they look great with your combination.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day, girl!
I had never heard of perogies either until a roommate in college had them adn I tried them as well. I like to use them in place of ravioli for pasta dishes :)
ReplyDeleteOh pierogies! i'm from Pittsburgh, where we eat them all the time! Of course, I can't find any vegan varieties which stinks :(
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you liked them though!
love, love pierogies!! so good.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had pierogies in years, I'm going to have to pick some up soon. What a great idea, and a filling dinner I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteMy Thursday was great, I files all my receipts from 2008, ah nice to have that part of last year done =)
ReplyDeleteI’ve never heard of Pierogies. My hubby likes potato dumplings (gnocchi). He would totally love pierogies.
No 4 day weekend for me either - booo!
ReplyDeleteI've never actually had pierogies! They look super yum though. I may have to check out the ones at TJs one of these days!
ReplyDeleteLove pierogies! My husband has Polish blood in him so they were a big deal in his family. They are from Penn. Did I know you went to Penn State? I went to Purdue - gotta love the Big 10.
ReplyDeleteI tried making them from scratch once and they were just okay. I'm going to give it another shot some day.
i've never heard of pierogies before! looks delicious though!
