My mom recommends trimming a little bit of the thick spine off each of the cabbage leaves to make them easier to roll. Just be careful not to cut right through the leaf. There isn't a specific amount of meat mixture to put inside each cabbage roll because it depends on the size of the leaf. Chop onion, celery, tomato and mix with rice and vegetarian ground beef, if using, and salt and pepper to taste.
Steps to make Mom's Cabbage Rolls (My twist on them):
- Dice onion small, put in big mixing bowl. Add everything in bowl except cabbage, tomatoes, tomato juice. Mix with hands thoroughly
- Once meat mixture is combined put about 4-6 heaping TBS in middle of cabbage leaf, roll like a burrito
- Place in large roasting pan seam side down. Continue this until all mixture is used
- If you have extra cabbage dice it & scatter on top the rolls.
- Pour tomato juice over rolls to cover them, pour diced tomatoes evenly over top.
- Cover & place in oven at 350° until cabbage is cooked to your liking & rice, onion is cooked completely
- You can also make these in the slow cooker but I'm not sure of the times, I just cook until done. Also you can cook in oven at 250° for about 4-6 hours until done.
- My family & I are addicted to them! Also a little bit of advice, these taste better if you let them sit in the juice covered for about 20-30 minutes after pulling from oven! Even better advice is they always taste better as leftovers… I like to serve with mashed potatoes or crusty Italian bread but they are equally delicious alone! I hope you'll enjoy them!! :)
There isn't a specific amount of meat mixture to put inside each cabbage roll because it depends on the size of the leaf. Chop onion, celery, tomato and mix with rice and vegetarian ground beef, if using, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour a small portion of the tomato liquid from the can in to the bottom of the roasting pan. Place one layer of the cabbage leaves over the liquid to prevent any burning or browning of the cabbage rolls. These would be great for a potluck party because the recipe makes quite a bit of cabbage rolls.
Foods That Can Make You Happy
Mostly, people have been trained to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and have to be avoided. Often, if your comfort food is made of candy or other junk foods, this can be true.

Eggs, believe it or not, are wonderful for helping you fight depression. You must make sure, however, that what you make includes the egg yolk.

These B vitamins are great for helping to improve your mood. This is because the B vitamins increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Try consuming a few eggs to jolly up!
Make a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Your mood can be improved by consuming peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera.

The more of this chemical in your brain, the better you’ll feel. Nuts, along with bettering your mood, can be a great source of protein.

Some grains are actually excellent for fighting off bad moods. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are excellent at helping you have a happier mood. They can help you feel full for longer also, helping you feel better. It’s not difficult to feel low when you feel famished!
