Sweet Potato Spelt Perogies

I was in wal-mart tonight and passed the perogies in the frozen section, and this idea for dinner just came into my mind! It turned out pretty darn fantastic if you ask us!

Ingredients:

• Spelt dough
• Sweet potatoes, boiled and mashed
• paprika

Directions: Boil sweet potatoes until tender, drain, and mash. Sprinkle with lots of paprika. Set aside. Cook other veggies if desired. In retrospect, I would have added some mixed veggies to the sweet potatoes and mixed together. Roll out spelt dough as if you were making a tortilla, Cut into the size you want to make perogie. Spoon 1-2 tbsp. of sweet potato puree on each piece of dough. Fold together as shown and pinch at sides to secure. Cook in a skillet for 4-5 mins. each side on medium heat until firm to touch.

Ta-da!!!!

We dined with another couple in the window! tee hee

Beautiful house warming gift from my brother and sis in law:

Dessert was a small bowl of spelt cereal + Almond breeze and 3/4 cup of unsweetened apple sauce with a handful of raisins.

Tonight I was really craving sugar– specifically my pumpkin bread!!!! I still haven’t had any yet since I made it and I was watched Eric eat it everyday. oye. Day 6 complete….but damn I want some pumpkin bread!!!!!

See you tomorrow for the next contest announcement!

Off to file…

Which celebrity said this quote:

““I have a chocolate drawer in my desk where I keep treats at all times,” she admits. “As long as I can have one or two pieces, I’m fine. But my biggest food vice is bacon. And no, I don’t have a bacon drawer. In fact, I don’t keep bacon in my house—that would be way too tempting.”
