I made these cabbage rolls last week and they turned out awesome. I took the recipe from Martha Stewart Living January 2010 and left out the 2 pounds of meat it called for. I filled them instead with carrots, celery, rice, and feta. Seriously good food. My kids liked them, we loved them!

This recipe sounds wonderful!! Youra little guy is so cute.
Funny, I just made traditional stuffed cabbage last week. These sound like a wonderful alternative!
sound pretty interesting. Sorry they did not turn out the way you wanted them to.
I've made stuffed cabbage before too and the original recipe called for THREE POUNDS of meat, but I only used 1 and we got 3 meals out of it. Sheesh, who the hell eats that much meat!?? It's funny, too b/c I remember writing on my post that the hardest part was getting the hot cabbage out of the pot! Ouch!
Yours look absolutely beeeautiful! I love your little guy eyeing them at the end and the pretty orange jello cups!
I've been freezing my veggie scraps for 2 months now. I'm going to make stock out of them eventually! Love the tip!
you know, I started freezing fruit and vegetable scraps this past summer while I took care of my sister's parrot while she was on vacation. It was a way to cut down on fruit flies. I continued to say fruit and vegetable scraps, but never thought about saving the vegetable scraps until I read your above comment. Thanks for the idea.
Wow those look pretty, Laura! So healthy and satisfying too. Love that you've made them veggie. Nice!
The 'ask someone you don't like' gave me a giggle 😀
Think I'll try this tonight, thanks!
