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.

Jalapeno Snack Rolls Recipe

These very simple to make snack rolls are delicious and fun to eat, they're also a great bento stuffer because they can fit snugly next to any other bento item. The recipe used to make these is as follows.

-California imported Jalapeno tortillas (or any found in the grocery store will do)
-Room temprature cream cheese
-Ham or any thinly sliced deli meat
-clean hands

First lay out the torillas and warm on a griddle then spread the cream cheese evenly over the torillas. Layer the deli meat over the cream cheese and start rolling at one end making sure it is a tight roll. Once rolled cut into bite sized pieces or desired lengh. Last step, fit into your bento and eat.

Cherry tomato stuffers Recipe

Here is the recipe for the tomatoes I used on my first bento.

This is a great filler for your bento stuffing. It's nice for squeezing into the corner or your bento and it tates great too!!

You'll need cherry tomatoes and whatever you like with your tomatoes. I used ground beef and cheese but you can use anything that will fit in there.

-Cut the top of the cherry tomato like a hat.
-With a small spoon scrape out the insides
-Cook the beef until done with salt and pepper
-Stuff the tomatoes with the beef and cheese and place under a toaster oven or nuke it in the microwave for a few seconds and you have a delicious bento stuffer thats cheesy and delicious.

Enjoy!
