1 cup oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
Sift:
3 cups flour

Perogy Pizza
One night I decided we were having perogies for supper but didnt wanna do the usual perogies and sour cream so i came up with this.
Perogies
Pizza sauce
Any toppings you would have on pizza
Mozzarella Cheese
Cook perogies. Place them in oven safe pan. Cover with Pizza sauce, toppings and cheese. Cook at 350f until cheese is melted. About 20 min. Can also broil for a few min at the end so cheese gets browned! I always eat this with sour cream as well.

Easy Southwestern Stroganoff
I got this one from Betty Crocker's "Easy Family Dinners" cookbook i have..It has become a favorite meal!
1 pound ground beef
1 cup water
1 jar(16oz) thick and chunky salsa
2 cups uncooked wagon wheel pasta(4oz) or any type of small pasta
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sour cream
Cook beef in pan over medium heat until browned. Drain
Stir water, salsa, pasta and salt into beef. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until pasta is tender.
Stir in sour cream. Cook until just hot.
Sometimes i add corn to this as well and you could add other veggies. Would probably just have to add a bit more water.
Late night idea.
So last night as I was laying in bed i had the thought to start up a blog with recipes I like seeing as I have friends that always ask me for recipes..So here it is!! I will get a bunch up soon!!
