I’ve been craving homemade pierogis so I made them yesterday on my day off. They were time consuming, but worth it because they were very delicious! These ones are stuffed with broccoli cheddar filling. I served them over a bed of sautéed onions, peppers, and kielbasa.
Had anyone tried different types? What do you stuff them with or what’s your favorite kind?
I love to cook. When I cook I’m focused only on cooking. No matter what is going on it seems I am able to block it out and focus solely what is in front of me. This is a comfort recipe for a cold winter day. I made it with beef, carrots, celery, and cabbage. We ate it a few different ways. One was plain stuffed in croissants. Then I bought biscuits and made mashed potato’s and we ate it that way. Each way was great. I didn’t have tomato paste or Guinness so I used chicken broth. It still turned out great!
Tomato sandwiches are always a staple for summertime . They are so easy and very good! Somehow I am just having my first one this evening. I like to put mayo and extra pepper on mine! Did you grow up eating this? If not what is something you ate growing up? Thanks for stopping by to read my blog! -Lilly 
My husband and I went on a short get away to reset for a little while. We were supposed to go to Vegas this year, but COVID had other ideas. Instead we went and did some hiking in Ashville and walked around downtown. If you ever get the chance to go there for a few days I would highly recommend it. We loved the area!
Below are some of the pictures I took while we were there. We went to the following places.
*Biltmore Estates
*Biltmore Winery – They do complimentary wine tastings.
*Catawba Falls , Looking Glass Falls, Sliding Rocks.
* Hi- Wire Brewery, Green Man Brewery, and all the local ones downtown.
*Flat Creek Boys played some local music
This was the perfect get away for a few days and the vibes of Ashville were very relaxing. I would love to go back !
Tonight I made shrimp scampi spaghetti squash for dinner. It was amazing and I would try it again. Oddly enough it taste very much like pasta. I would make it again! If you’ve never tried this before I would highly recommend it! My husband loved it so much he scraped his and mine out ! My dog Steele said it smelled really good too!
Everyday we eat together at this table we made together . Steele will lay under the table and wait for us to finish. You better bet if you drop something he will be there faster than Sonic the hedgehog to clean it up! On this day we had finished eating. I looked over and he was laying like this looking so sad that we hadn’t dropped anything ! Don’t worry he doesn’t miss a meal.

For some reason I was craving fish tacos. I had never made them before, but I had an idea how to. I went all out and did mango jalapeño salsa, the spicy slaw, and my friend made strawberry jalapeño margaritas. They were a perfect match!
Today I made homemade biscuits for the first time. I’d have to rate them about a 4-10 due to them not rising. I followed the recipe exactly so I’m not sure what happened. If you have any biscuit tips let me know! I’ll try it again.
I love breakfast and I love trying new recipes. Regardless of how flat the biscuits turned out the flavor was still great!
