- Taste: Good - I had the potato and cheese ones, and the filling was fairly consistent, needed more onion for me, but I can fix that with my own onions on top next time.
- Texture: Average - They use ravioli pasta it seems instead of a dough. So they were a little soggy.
- Appearance: Average - Since they got a little water logged they didn't look like something I'd serve to visitors, but for just me they were good.
- Preparation: Easy - They needed to be boiled for 8 - 10 minutes. So pretty simple. I used to always pan fry mine as a kid, so they would get a little crunchy. Or if we had time we'd bake them. Not sure since the outside is more like Pasta if this will work, but maybe I'll give it a try.
- Overall: Give them a try - It's going to be hard to be Baba's Pierogies, but these are a good second when I'm missing home since I can't eat traditional ones anymore.

Taste Test: Pierogies
So one of the things I miss most about my days before Celiac Disease was my baba's (grandma) pierogies. My mom being 100% Ukrainian, pierogies were a staple in my family's kitchen.

I've tried other gluten free pierogies and didn't like them, but this packaging made me think they'd be worth a shot. Here is what I thought.
