I'm thinking about making pierogis. My recipe calls for farmer's cheese, which is pretty much the same thing. I'll also mix some with herbs and garlic for a spread with bagels or bread. And I'm thinking maybe a cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to refresh my memory on pierogis - it sounds so familiar but I don't remember them.
