Pierogi
My son loves pierogi and we are lucky to have a really good pierogi place nearby. However, I decided to try and make some pierogi myself and I was surprised of how easy it is to make pierogi. Mine don’t look as polished yet but I can assure you that they taste delicious. Tomorrow, October 8, is actually National Pierogi Day so what better timing to try making some?

Mushroom Spread
If you are looking for an appetizer idea this is a great option. It’s easy to make and you can prepare in advance, who doesn’t like that? Also, it’s a one pot dish (if you exclude the strainer) so in my mom of 3 world this would be a perfect dish – minimum effort, no dishes to clean and tastes great.

Refried Beans
A homemade recipe for refried beans (however I have to warn you hat there is no frying involved). This dish can be served warm or cold. Great as a side, a dip or a spread.

Sautéed Zucchini
I like to keep this recipe simple - zucchini, salt, pepper, olive oil and garlic. You can add more herbs or some balsamic vinegar but the garlic and the salt complements really well the sweetness of the zucchini so I prefer this short list of ingredients.

Romanian Potato Salad
The Romanian Potato Salad is very similar to the Bulgarian Potato Salad and the Serbian Potato Salad. No mayonnaise is used for this salad either; instead you can create a dressing with salt, oil and vinegar to taste.
