Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

My first attempt at Stuffed Cabbage Rolls for dinner last night.... SUCCESS!!! These beauties were yummy! And I have the ladies over at Skinny Scoopers to thank for it!

About a week ago they posted a healthy recipe for these awesome rolls. And while their recipe looked VERY good... OF COURSE I altered it a bit. I ended up with an amazingly flavorful dish that I THINK might be even less calories than the recipe posted at Skinny Scoopers. So, I thought I would post my recipe and then direct everyone here to check out the link above to see the ORIGINAL recipe.

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 heads of green cabbage (1 head if very large)
  • 1 lb extra lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup brown rice (cooked)
  • 1/4 cup Egg Beaters
  • 1 Tbsp McKay's Beef Style Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • dash of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (28 oz)
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth

Brown the turkey with the onion and garlic, set aside to cool. Remove all outer leaves from your cabbage. In a large stockpot, cover the cabbage leaves with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 4 minutes, drain, CAREFULLY rinse with cold water to stop cooking and set aside.

Combine diced tomatoes, broth, worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Add just enough of this combination back to stockpot to cover the bottom. Reserve the rest.

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine all other ingredients. Divide the turkey filling among the cabbage leaves, carefully wrapping all contents safely & snugly inside (I did not remove the thick portion of the cabbage leaf. Instead, I STARTED by putting my filling there and rolling toward the outer edge of the leaf being sure to fold in my sides for a tight roll. The rolls turned out great! I was so impressed with myself!). Place rolls atop the layer of tomato sauce in stockpot, then pour remaining tomato sauce on top.

Put stockpot back on stove top and turn heat to medium high. Once bubbling, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 35 minutes. I don't know exactly what the calorie count is with this meal, but the Skinny Scoopers version was made with beef so I'm guessing these will be significantly less being made with the turkey. I'll try to input my ingredients for a calorie count later next week. In the meantime, enjoy these babies. They are AWESOME!!! Thanx Skinny Scoopers... you guys ROCK and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your blog! :)

Inking Pink Blog Hop

Hi Hoppers! Danielle, a.k.a. FitterTwit here.... so glad you made it!!! If you're mid-hop, you should be arriving here from Chelsea's blog . Was that a great project or what!?! If you're just joining us and need to start the hop from the beginning, you're gonna want to head over to our lovely Hop Hostess Patricia's blog to start the fun here on our VERY IMPORTANT Inking Pink Blog Hop! Here's to Breast Cancer Awareness!!! My project for this hop is a reminder card..."Remember your checkups!" What a wonderful way to say "I love you" to a dear friend or family member. Now you may not be able to see it in the pic above, but I altered The Greeting Farm's Ebony so that her tee shirt reads, "Say YES to Mammograms!" So, today I wanted to share HOW I added the words to her tee. First I printed the words as small as I could and still be able to read the message using my laser printer onto the paper that I would be using to color in my im...

So Lame

So over at Paper Vineyard, the challenge was to create a birthday project and it COULDN'T be a card.  I've personally been creating WAY too many cards lately so I was happy to try my hand at something new..... only I didn't. :(  Instead, I was busy preparing for last week's Cricut Swarm.  Now, while I missed creating a project specifically for our Birthday Non-Card challenge, I figured the cupcake box that I made would fit the bill PERFECTLY for a birthday-themed project.  The box also has an insert for a cupcake to fit inside.  I made it with my Cricut (cuz of the whole Cricut Swarm bit) and while I ADORE this box, I sort of had a little melt down making it and I decided that this is the last Provo Craft product I will ever buy.... let me share why (read through to find out the cartridge I used for this project)! Most of you know that I DESPISE Provo Craft.  I hate that the Cricut is a one-of-kind product that I loved....

Maple Syrup vs. Honey

I did a post a while back about the nutritious sweetener for the lemonade on the Master Cleanse: maple syrup ! In fact, for quite some time now it has been my only sweetner (well, that and agave nectar... YUM!). But why maple syrup... isn't honey the magical sweetener? First, let's consider where both come from. One comes from a tree and the other comes from flowers, but is predigested and then regurgitated by a bee. Can you guess which is which??? hahahaha ! Really though, just the idea that an insect's already digested nectar from a flower lends to the idea that the nectar is already devoid of nutrients when it's vomited back up. Isn't that the whole point of digestion? To pull the nutrients from whatever it is you have ingested. So is it safe to say that honey is a bi product ? Or even a waste material? I would certainly call MY vomit a waste material... what about you? But beyond the gross visual I now have in my head of honey, I also have a real concern about ...
