Vegetarian protein to have with pierogies?

merifey · September 2017

I usually cook a couple of big dishes to eat throughout the week on my day off but just took a shift for a coworker so won't have another day off until next Thursday. Before MFP one of my go to meals for dinner during a crazy week was store bought pierogies with steamed broccoli, sauteed onions, and a bit of sour cream. I can make that work calorie wise but it's a little lacking in the protein department. Coming up with a vegetatian protein option that makes sense with pierogies is stumping me right now. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Thanks!

How about a quinoa side salad?

Or spiced baked beans?

Protein potatoes are def a must

This one looks good too, but i'd probably get lazy and put regular salad dressing on it lol

If I was looking for fast and easy, I might try some Beyond Meat "chicken" strips alongside that or some Field Roast sausages.

fry up some tofu to go with the pierogies

If your pierogies are made with butter and onions, I would pair it with cottage cheese. Actually, I would pair it with a hamburger

, but if it must be something vegetarian, I would do cottage cheese.

I would add a few spoons of cannellini beans--similar to the texture of the pierogi inside--or shelled edamame, for more of a contrast.

Plain Greek Yogurt is a perfect substitute for sour cream. I use it on baked potatoes; it would be perfect with your pierogies and has a lot of protein.
