Pierogi Extravaganza! 🥟✨
We hosted a sold-out event where we came together to create everyone’s favorite little dumpling: pierogies!
We rolled up our sleeves and made:
* Traditional Potato & Cheese (a classic for a reason!)
* Mushroom & Sauerkraut (the surprise favorite of the night)
* Blueberry & Cheese (a sweet finish)
There was plenty of rolling, tasting, and laughter. By the end of the evening, everyone left with full bellies and new skills.
Spring and summer classes are filling up fast! Head to the link in our bio to see the full schedule and grab your spot before they’re gone. 🤩🙌🏼♥️
