One of our members, Kerri (Jim) Whitman has mentioned doing a recipe
page, and I thought it was a great idea. So, if you like to eat and have some good old or new recipes, please send them along and I will put them in their place.
It can be any kind of food, appetizers, main dishes or desserts. If they are old, it would be nice to
know whose they were. Let's see how many we can get, so I need your help.

Lazy Mans Cabbage Rolls
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (browned, drained)
1 head of cabbage (chopped "toonie" size)
1 tin of tomato paste
2 T. parsley
1/2 cup of rice (raw)
salt and pepper
2 tins of tomato soup
Directions:
In a large bowl mix the tomato paste, parsley, salt and pepper and soup, add 2 tins of water (soup tins). In a medium size covered oven proof dish, put a layer of chopped cabbage, then ground beef, then cabbage, then top with ground beef. Sprinkle the uncooked rice over top, then pour the mixture over all. Make sure the dish is at least 1/3 full of liquid. If necessary, add more water. Bake in a slow overn, 325 degrees for 3-4 hours. Check often, test by the doneness of the cabbage. Once it is soft, remove the lid from the dish and allow the excess liquid to evaporate.
