Pierogi (Traditional Polish Dumplings)
This Polish pierogi recipe is from my grandmother and has been handed down in our family for generations. These pierogi are filled with cheese, potatoes, and mushrooms, but you can stuff them with other fillings to your liking. There are many ways to serve pierogi. Try them topped with fried onions and parsley, or serve them with sour cream, melted butter, and fried bacon.

I love my weeknight chuck roast that cooks all day in the slow cooker. Just season and add to your slow cooker and when you come home dinner is waiting! All you need to do is add your favorite sides; most of them can also be made in advance.
