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! :)

Past 7 Days....

My Seriously Yummy Concoction!!

The Magic Bullet has yet to fail me!!! I LOVE it! I whipped up this ultra healthy mousse in seconds, and the mint came straight from the garden. Yay! Here's how I made it. Danielle's Heavenly Mousse 1 small container of low fat vanilla yogurt (I prefer Yoplait Light) 2 heaping tablespoons of Knudson Free cottage cheese 1 tablespoon of Amaretto flavored Agave Nectar 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon 2-3 peeled and pitted organic figs (optional) In Magic Bullet container combine above ingredients. Attach flat whipping blade and mix until mousse has formed (about 45 seconds). That's it. If you are using figs (which will create a thicker mouse after it sets in the fridge and will require longer blending time), be sure that they are room temperature before blending. Blend with chopping blade, remove and attach flat whipping blade until smooth. Allow to set in fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. This thing is quick and incredibly yummy! Here is the pic of the ingredients I used. Cl...

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...

I'm Terribly Late.... I Know.

Yes, Yes... I'm terribly late... I know!  I was supposed to announce on April 1st that I'm having ANOTHER Favorite Things Birthday Give Away.  Well, here I am.... 7 days late, I'm here with the announcement.  BUT FIRST:  Let's check out some of the prize goodies!!! So pictured above is nail treatments from my ALL-TIME-FAVORITE nail treatment company... Nail Aid .  I LOVE their products, I LOVE their company and I LOVE their service.  And this year they GENEROUSLY donated another HAUL of their new products available at Walmart (check your local store for availability as I'm finding that not all of them carry it... which is NUTS!).  They are just so generous... THAT'S FIVE PRODUCTS!!!  Now I've never tried these products... being that they are new, but I personally use MANY of their products and I love them.  So be sure to check out their website by clicking the link above.  And just so you know which ones are my favorites, I...
