Pierogi Lasagna

Pierogi Lasagna
I've been obsessed with potato based sauces the past few weeks, and even made a few that I didn't put up here. It all culminated with this amazing potato lasagna that tastes like a pierogi with every bite. Each layer of noodle gave way to a thick, creamy, cheesy cloud of potato deliciousness. Thanks to reader Chris for the Idea! To make your sauce, start by simmering potatoes in milk. Once the potatoes are cooked and mashed, toss in sour cream. Then the cheese goes in. Build up your lasagna with the sauce, noodles, and some caramelized onions and scallions. After it bakes, its browned and amazing looking. Thick, hearty, and delicious. Bacon obviously takes it to the next level.

Hash Brown Wrapped Eggs It's been hard for me to switch gears from the whole "Stuffed" concept. It's too late to get this guy into the book, so here it is, Stuffed DVD special features! This is a play on a scotch egg, but also a Peruvian dish called papas rellenas. The key is perfectly soft boiling the eggs so that the yolk stays soft and comes running out when you cut into it. Roast the potatoes until tender. Mix with some flour, salt, herbs, and spices. Soft boil some eggs using this method. The potato mixture is mashed and ready. With well floured hands and surface, spread out some potato and roll it around your egg. Perfect. Fry em up until browned all around. Just another potato... With a suprise inside! Wait for it... Pop a little sriracha on this thing and it will be the best breakfast you have had in months!

My Mom's Zucchini Lasagna Mom and my brother, George, in Naples My mom, Angela, passed away in 1985. She was from Sicily and I was just really beginning to get into cooking when she died. A short time ago, I was flipping through an old Italian cookbook of hers and saw this recipe, written by her, in the back of the book: I like vegetarian dishes a lot and so I thought I would give it a try.

Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich A guacamole grilled cheese sandwich has been on my to try list for a while now and since I was making the bacon guacamole on the weekend I figured I would just pick up double the ingredients and make both. The basic idea behind this grilled cheese is quite simple and it started out with just adding guacamole to a grilled cheese but with the success of combining salty bacon-y magnificence with cool and creamy guacamole I could not resist adding a few slices of bacon to the sandwich. I also had some leftover corn tortilla chips from dipping on the weekend so I decided to crumble a few of them and add them to the sandwich for texture. Like all grilled cheese sandwiches this one is pretty easy to make though you want to try to remember to pull the guacamole out of the fridge early so that it can come up to room temperature before adding it to the sandwich. Does this grilled cheese sandwich look good? Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich Servings: makes 1 sandwich Printable Recipe Directions

The Forest Feast Avocado Habanero Hot Sauce In a continuing effort to press the limits of what defines guacamole, I present to you this hot sauce. Based on the Venezuelan sauce known by the silly name "guasacaca", this condiment is loaded with avocado, habanero peppers, and red wine vinegar. There is lots of acid in the recipe, so unlike a traditional guac, it won't go brown 5 minutes after you make it. I love no-cook sauces. I poured it all into this jar to save in the fridge for later. Except for what I was using right away! This had a nice little burn to it, and the vinegar was perfect in this taco. Besides the sauce, It's just some chopped radish and onion, a little cheese, and some coffee braised beef, a recipe I have been working on for a burrito shop in the area. These tacos hit the spot, and I have to say that the guasacaca is one of the main reasons why. 2 avocados, a lime, a cup of red wine vinegar, a handful of cilantro, a clove of garlic, 5 habaneros- seeds removed, half a red onion, and lots of salt and pepper.
