Second Shot at Greek Bento!!

Hey folks!!

I made another Greek bento, also a pita, and I think this one turned out just as good as the last one. This bento is more for the meat eater, where as the last one was suitable for vegetarians. I made Greek inspired meatballs with beef and included all of those delicious fresh vegetables to go with them. I also made cute little heart carrots for some color and flavor. In the little sauce bottles is a Greek tzatziki sauce that is made with yogurt, cucumbers and a lot of garlic. Please check out the recipes section to make your own tzatziki sauce. I found this bento to be very refreshing and flavorful. Enjoy your bentos and I wish you happy bento-ing.

Quick and Easy Perogies Recipe

I finally got around to uploading the recipe for the perogies. They are so insanley easy and delicious that you can pretty much use them for anything such as a snack or a side dish or even the main course. I love this recipe because you can change it up however you like.

Ingredients
-1 Package Won ton wraps
-Cubed Yukon gold or russet Potatoes/mashed potatoes
-Cheese
-1 medium sized onion chopped
-Butter
-Water to boil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions
First you boil the potatoes in extremely salty water, you can leave the skin on or peel it. In the meantime, start the caramalized onions by putting a half a stick of butter in a pan on medium low heat and adding the onion with a pinch or two of salt, saute until brown stirring occasionally. Once the potatoes are fork tender mash them and add cheese, season to taste and set aside. Boil water and start filling the won ton wraps. Place 1 TBS of filling in the center of the won ton square and dab the edges with a little water to seal, once sealed boil in the water for a few minutes or until pasta is cooked. The Perogies a ready to eat but for added texture brown in the pan with a little of the butter from the caramlized onions and then top with the onions.
