My grandma made the best Cabbage Rolls.
Rest her soul, she been gone for awhile. She is deeply missed...
I remember when I was pregnant with my first child, she would make these and a cornmeal dumpling she called naked boys, she made them every time I said I as craving them. I can't tell you how many times that was.
Now that I am a grandma I understand they were the best, because her secert ingredent was a grandma's love.
She added the to every recipe she cooked for her family.
