Ukraine has a secret…pelmeni and varenky…

Can you believe that such an activity is part of my training?  Wahoo!!!

It was so much fun.  For my clusters cooking activity we chose a lesson in making both pelmeni and varenky using meat, potatoes and cherries.  They were amazing.  I believe that varenky with cherries were the favorite.  These were amazingly easy to make and so, so good.

I grew up eating verenky. Due to my family tradition, potato and dry cottage cheese are my favorite!
