Surprise! Your cousin is going into labor 2 weeks early! And guess what? You agreed to house and dog-sit while her and her husband are at the hospital.
That's what my week has been like. On Monday, October 31 I got a text saying that my cousin was in labor. I received the text immediately after having an hour long massage. (I would like to say I was nice and relaxed, but that would be lying. I had the massage to alleviate pain. And if any one has ever had a massage to alleviate pain, they too know that it is anything but relaxing.) Anyway, on the way home I stopped at the grocery store to pick up dinner. Down the freezer aisle I roamed until I spotted it. Or maybe it spotted me. Regardless of who/what did the spotting, I knew I had to have them: Pierogies.
Flashback! Post-college. Roomie: Pigat.
Right after college, Pigat and I didn't know how to cook many things. We were more of the heat-and-eat kinds of people. Pigat's specialty was pierogies. At the time, I had no idea what pierogies were, and the whole potato/pasta thing really threw me off. But one taste and I was hooked.
So here I am in my cousin's house armed with a box of Mrs. T's, a jar of Prego, and a small zucchini. Heat-and-eat magic, here I come!
Ingredients:
1 box Mrs. T's Pierogies
1 box Mrs. T's Pierogies
1 small jar Prego spaghetti sauce
1 small zucchini
1 TBSP butter
Parmesan cheese for extra cheesy love
