Pierogies- Stuffed Dough Pockets Guest Post at Family Foodie

I’m so excited about guest posting at Family Foodie for my friend Isabel! When I asked her what would she like me to write about, she said,”I want you to do your post on anything that is near and dear to you… as long as it comes from the heart.”
So I decided to share an old family recipe passed down from my Gram to my Mom then to me. I passed it on to my daughter and granddaughter. That dish would be…
Pierogies!

So please come join Isabel and me today over at FamilyFoodie.com for an old-fashioned, roll up your sleeves and dig in Pierogie Party! 🙂
Enjoy!

Hawaiian Chicken Wraps for #SundaySupper

It’s that time of year again when dozens gather in homes, yards, and parking lots. Often these people wear strange clothes with names and numbers on them. They paint their faces vibrant colors. Some carry oversized foam hand mitts (I’m still not sure why about this one). They bring food and beverages, grills, coolers, radios and even TVs! “Why” you say? Well it football season, and they’re ready to party!!!
I admit that I’m not a big sports fan, but I am a big fan of the food! 😉
So here’s my contribution to our #SundaySupper Tailgate Party hosted this week by Lane over at Supper for a Steal . Thank you Lane! 🙂

 

Hawaiian Chicken Wraps


This is a great way to use leftover chicken or cook chicken ahead and freeze it to always have some ready for last minute meals!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chicken breast, cooked, diced or sliced
  • 1/2 cup Pineapple, crushed, drained
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 each tomato, diced
  • 2 cups lettuce, shredded

Dressing

  • 1 Tbs brown sugar – (packed)
  • 1 Tbs honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 each tortillas, whole wheat

1. Drain pineapple in sieve and gently press out excess juice.

you can also drain the tomatoes too!

2. Mix dressing ingredients together and whisk to dissolve sugar. I like the added flavor orange juice brings to the dressing.

3. Mix in chicken and pineapple.

4. Lay out your wrap and add veggies first. Then add chicken pineapple mixture. I fold over the sides about a quarter width first, fold up the bottom, roll and tuck in sides as I roll!
5. Depending on how long it will be until you eat your wraps, you may want try mixing the chicken well and be careful not to get too much extra liquid in your wrap. You’re good to go!
