Perogies
These perogies can be boiled or fried in butter, which makes them tastier. Serve with sour cream or cottage cheese. I grew up on these delicious perogies. I like to triple the recipe and freeze some for later by freezing perogies in a single layer on a tray, then storing them in freezer bags.
Spinach and Leek White Bean Soup
White bean soup with spinach and leeks is a delicious and filling soup that is perfect for vegetarians if you use vegetable broth, and quick to make. I've been making this soup for years, but I really craved it when I was pregnant with my fourth child.

This frozen ribs Instant Pot dinner can be made without planning. Each rib portion should have 3 to 4 ribs. I use a spice called Red Rocks Hickory Smoke Seasoning from Savory Spice Shop, but you may use what you have. With only 3 ingredients, it doesn't get much easier!
