Stuffed Cabbage Rolls


These Stuffed Cabbage Rolls are such a simple, but warming dish.  It is a perfect winter time meal!  I believe stuffed cabbage rolls are generally an eastern European dish.   There are so many various recipes for stuffed cabbage rolls so I went for a really basic recipe.  I preferred to use fire roasted tomatoes instead of the typical tomato sauce.  Overall, they were a hit when I brought them over to my friend's house for dinner.  Enjoy!
