It's Just Food, Right?

Everyone Has To Eat
We might as well make it fun. It doesn't have to be gourmet or hard or even pretty. We've all rushed out the door and just grabbed Something just because.

How about making cabbage rolls ahead of time. They'll be ready to grab when You are. I like to cook off the cuff, no recipe-just whatever is on the counter.

So let's get some ideas here for a pan of cabbage rolls. Like you could....
Grill something or Fry or whatever. MEAT!!! Get Some Meat! I'll suggest any leftover! We used corned beef last week.

Okay, next! Potatoes, just threw a couple in boiling water until right before the soft stage. Don't want them too done or they'll fall apart. With skin or without, whatever you prefer. Then whatever else you want. Spices, chopped onion. I like those two things.

Don't be afraid! ha ha ha
Okay so now stick your head of Cabbage into a pot of boiling salted water for about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool. Peel back the leaves and one at a time put some of your Yummy Filling in the center of the cabbage leaf, then roll it up like an egg roll. I stick a tooth pick in mine when they're rolled so they don't fall apart.

Now if you wanted to, you could put all those into a casserole dish, sprinkle some cheese over it and even a can of chopped tomaotes. Bake at 350 until the cheese melts.

That's what's so cool about this dish! Don't be afraid to experiment. I found cabbage on sale at Nine Cents a Pound!! Look for bargains. Use them in creative ways. The corned beef came in at a mere 1.39 a pound!! Look for hamburger or sausage on sale too. Make it fun, Make it easy and Make it good!

Please share your ideas with me.
