I buy bags of frozen pierogies every time they go on sale (which is often). I really could eat pierogies weekly and never get sick of them. I've mentioned before that 95% of the time I just toast them in a pan with a little butter and parmesan cheese and serve them with roasted asparagus and tomatoes, but now and then I get a little bit more adventurous. After trying the bacon pierogie bake a year or so ago and then remaking it recently I was in the mood for some type of pierogie bake. Enter this meal! It was a warm(er) day, we had spent the whole afternoon playing outside but it was still cool out, the way mid-March can be, so I wanted something that felt like spring comfort. Enter this meal. It was so delicious. John and I both were fans and happily ate this up. Landon was skeptical but he enjoyed the pierogies. Anytime I snuck a veggie in he spit it out and said "yucky!"... but hey, Rome wasn't built in a day... The best part was the sauce. It had a subtle lemon taste, was perfectly coating each bite, and was truly just perfect.
