It’s my week for my mom to be staying at my house, which makes it a good time to make a big batch of cabbage rolls. I used to love watching my mom make the neat little rolls. I’ve been making them ever since.

Cabbage rolls do take some time to make,  but they are worth it. If you have a couple of extras hours some afternoon give this recipe a try.

I make a large batch so you can freeze some for another day.
