Eye Candy: Colorful Pierogies

Just about every January, I get hit by a surge of cooking energy and go into a delightful frenzy in my kitchen. I often make large batches of things to store in the freezer. It helped that this year, Kate & I took the first week of January as vacation from This Charming Candy so I really got busy!

Among the things I made for my freezer were 11 dozen pierogies, which are Polish dumplings:

My favorite filling is sauerkraut and onion; they go beautifully with pork dishes and also make a delightful stand-alone lunch. For fun, I decided to experiment with adding food coloring to the dough – I made purple ones, green ones, and orange ones.

And now, I get to enjoy having delicious, adorable, colorful homemade pierogies for the next few months! Yay!
