Cabbage rolls… my grandma used to make them for Christmas and Easter. When she wasn’t able to cook anymore, my dad longed for his bi-annual dose of these savory rolls. His craving launched me on a mission to create a cabbage roll recipe that was as good as my grandma’s.
Since my grandma never used recipes, I have spent a significant amount of time searching for recipes and I have taken the best elements from a number of sources to make my own delicious concoction!
Almost four years later and I’ve perfected this cabbage roll recipe. My dad says they are as good as Grandma’s and that says something!
