It is common knowledge that I enjoy eating. I particularly enjoy eating dishes that I have made myself. So, I will use this space to share with you some of my favourite things that I have made.

As per your request (Karen)...Perogies!

Apparently they don't have George Foreman Grills in England...or maybe Karen is just out of the loop. Anyway now that we are all on the same page...my recipe for oven-baked perogies. The purists may disagree with this method of cooking but I find it less slimy than the boiling method and you don't have to baby sit them like you with the frying method. Friends in Winnipeg (Ukrainians at that) have informed me that another acceptable method is to BBQ them...I'm not sure how that would work, but I don't have a BBQ to experiment anyway. I do, however, have a George!

So, here's the deal --

On a cookie sheet, coat frozen perogies with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic blend seasoning. (Both frozen perogies and garlic blend are available from Safeway. I like the perogies with the cheddar cheese and potato inside.) Bake in a 300 degree F oven for about 20 minutes, or until defrosted and golden brown, flipping them over halfway through cooking. Serve with sour cream.
