August 3, 2000 The Kings Mountain Herald In the mood for a zesty taste? Try pierogies or spicy popcorn As a change from serving pasta, why not substitute piero- gies?

Frozen Mrs. Ts Pierogies are ready to cook and toss with your favorite jarred pasta sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Pierogies Pesto gets its zesty fla- vor from prepared pesto sauce and a classic trio-asparagus, ham and pine nuts. For another speedy main dish in the Italian spirit, mix pierogies with a gar- lic-scented sauce based on sun- dried tomatoes from a jar. Mrs. T's Pierogies come in several flavors, including Potato & Onion, Potato & Cheddar and Roasted Garlic. You'll find these ready-to-cook pasta pockets in the frozen foods section of your supermarket.
