I love a good kitchen shortcut. Especially one that makes traditional pierogi so light and delicate, I can eat twice as many. Guys. TWICE as many! The secret is pre-made wonton wrappers. If you’ve ever made real-deal pierogi, you’d know preparing, rolling and cutting the dough is at least half the battle. The circular wonton wrappers…

How to: Healthy Side – Simple Brussels Sprout Slaw
Simple is best, don’t you think? When it comes to food and using quality ingredients, I am definitely on team KISS.
