Pierogi

  Ingredients: Mrs T cheddar pierogi half cabbage, diced onion, diced half package of bacon diced mustard of your choice butter water salt and pepper In a large skillet add butter and pan fry the pierogi until they have some brown bottoms.   Add water to skillet and cover to steam them until thawed and cooked through. Uncover and let all liquid evaporate.  You will be left with fully cooked pierogi with nice crunchy bottoms.  Set pierogi aside. In the skillet cook diced bacon.  Once bacon is fully cooked add in cabbage and onion.  Season generously with salt and pepper.  I also added some mustard here for flavor.   Toss cabbage mix into a bowl and top with pierogi!

Pineapple Margarita and Mexican corn

Margarita Ingredients: 1 cup Ice 1/2 cup Frozen pineapple 4 ounces Pineapple juice 1/4 cup Orange juice 2 tablespoons Lime juice 1/2 cup Tequila 2 tablespoons Honey Tajin for the rim We thought it needed more pineapple flavor and are going to try again with more pineapple and more pineapple juice.  Also I'd rather use triple sec than orange juice. Corn Ingredients: Corn on the cob, boiled about 5 minutes Mayo Garlic powder Lime juice Tajin Cilantro Cojita cheese Mix the mayo with some garlic powder and lime juice and brush onto corn. Add cojita cheese to a plate and roll the corn in it. Sprinkle lime juice over the corn. Press cilantro into the corn.  I couldn't get it to really stick without pressing. Sprinkle as much Tajin as you want.
