Green Perogies made from Thrive Freeze Dried Food

I have participated in Perogy Bee's before and watched (while pinching perogies) as large groups of men spent literally *hours* peeling potatoes, boiling potatoes, mashing potatoes, then repeat for all the different fillings. In 50 minutes, from start to finish, my 5 year old and I made 3 dozen perogies plus a huge bowl of "pasta bits". 

Being the creative people we are, we made our perogies green for St. Patrick's day - the dough was made by grinding up freeze dried butternut squash, spinach, broccoli, and whole eggs....then added water, and spelt flour (we are a wheat free household).

The filling was made by grinding up freeze dried cooked roast beef, chopped onions, and cauliflower...then adding water. 
 

It was literally that easy. Once we ran out of filling, we made the executive decision to make "pasta bits" - we just rolled out the dough and cut it into any shape we wanted (I didn't take a picture of this). I realize these aren't the ingredients in traditional pasta, but this works too.

 
Life shouldn't be difficult.... we shouldn't have to peel, boil and mash. Thrive....it's easier and healthier for you
