Butternut Squash Pierogis
Ahh, that time of year is drawing near... Fall, Autumn, Harvest, whatever you call it. I call it Bliss! crisp weather, football, everything except the leaf raking; I could really do without that! Usually around this time of year is when cooking is the coolest, seasonal flavors and smells. Yum!
Cheers!
