One of the dishes that she has tried a couple of times and has really perfected lately is Lazy Perogy Casserole. If you've never had a perogy, you really need to fix that. Basically they are raviolis that are stuffed with a mashed potato + awesomeness mixture of sorts. This casserole recipe replicates the flavors without all the work of stuffing individual pasta pockets. Tasty and awesome, FTW.
