Happy Thanksgiving from Newmind Group!

In lieu of an ordinary post today, we wanted to give you a snapshot of Newmind’s holiday plans and traditions!

Newmind’s favorite Thanksgiving dishes

Funny thing. I’m highly allergic to Turkey (all poultry) so I’ve never been excited about Thanksgiving food. However, my wife’s family makes Varenyky every year, and that’s probably my new favorite holiday dish. Filled with cottage cheese and topped with either a sausage gravy or warm fruit sauce.” –Ryan Russey.

  • Varenyky (vah-REH-nih-kih)is a dish consisting of stuffed dumplings of unleavened dough, typically filled with meat, potatoes, cabbage, and sometimes hard-boiled eggs. Perogies are a type of varenyky.
  • The more you know!

    Newmind’s favorite holiday movies


    Sure, Alice’s Restaurant might not be a movie, but it’s definitely earned its spot on the list. Thanks, Luke Reynolds, for this amazing holiday discovery!
