Pierogi

Jess’ first go at her aunt’s pierogi recipe, she plans to try again, but this recounts the attempt. With flour, an apparently optional egg, sour cream and water, you can make a delicious dough to surround whatever ingredients your imagination runs wild with. If you’re keeping it more traditional, there’s a sauerkraut filling listed in this recipe.


Indonesian Sweet Potato and Cabbage Soup

A good one for meatless Mondays, this one uses tomatoes, garlic, cabbage, sweet potato, and onions.
You can use bean sprouts, chopped cilantro, scallions, mint and/or Thai basil for garnish of the soup, so you don’t necessarily need all of these on your farmstand grocery list to make this hearty soup. It’s thick and rich and hearty with the help of some peanut butter, you won’t miss the meat.
