Cabbage Rolls

Cabbage rolls are a little time consuming, but they are sooo worth it!

I try to make a double batch and freeze half so next time they are an easy meal.

Try to find a fairly large cabbage as you want the leaves to be a good size.

I was a little disappointed this week as the cabbages were not as large as I would have liked...

But they will do...

Was going to post a photo of the cooked cabbage rolls , but they didn't last long enough.

Tattertot Casserole

I know, I know.....

Tatertots aren't exactly the healthiest of foods.

But I am feeling a bit lazy and don't want to make mashed potatoes......so .....tatertots it will be.

( actually picked up the wrong bag and got mini hash brown rounds....they will work just fine too)

This casserole is very easy and really very very good.
