I remember my mother teaching me the long process of making cabbage rolls every New Year’s Day. I continued this tradition in my young adult life. I love have the tradition and flavors of cabbage rolls once a year, but I hate the process, so I came up with a stove top simple way to create an old fashion favorite. My family loves it and I get to spend more time with the family celebrating instead of in the kitchen.
