My third year SC anniversary! :)

[Natalka]

Wow, three years for me on SC!
On one hand, three years is a very long time - but then I think, gee, it's gone so quickly!



I'm so grateful for the day I found SC and joined - it's been a most wonderful experience. I've learned a lot about myself, others, and things in the world out there!

To all of you here - thanks for just being here, you are each valued in your own way!

Congrats Natalka! Smartcanucks wouldn't be the same without you. I've learned a lot from you, and your Lazy Cabbage Rolls recipe is a favourite comfort food of mine now.

oooo, lazy cabbage rolls... hmmm... i'm gonna pm you later Nat in the meantime...

[Natalka]

Thanks for everyone's messages - what a wonderful way to start the day!

Here's the recipe, asked for often!

Lazy Cabbage Rolls Casserole
(with or without meat)

1 cup rice (short grain is best, but long is okay)
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt, few shakes pepper
1 Tablespoon margarine
----
1 medium onion, chopped
3 Tablespoons margarine
(option - 1 pound lean ground beef)
3 cups shredded cabbage
1 can tomato soup; 1 can water
salt, pepper, dill

Cook rice the way you usually do. I nuke mine.
In a dutch oven, cook onion in margarine til softened. (If using ground beef, add now and cook til pink is gone.)
Add cabbage, stir around, and keep cooking and mixing maybe five minutes til it wilts a bit. (I've used the bagged coleslaw, it works fine, too.)
Add salt and pepper to taste; I also add several shakes of dill.

Put this in a 9x13 baking dish or small roaster, add cooked rice and mix together well. Add a can of tomato soup, and a can of water, and mix all together.

Cover with lid or foil. Bake 350 degrees about 45 minutes. Uncover, let sit 5 minutes. Mix and serve!

СМАЧНОГО!!! Smachnoho! (good eating!)
