Golabki (Stuffed Cabbage Rolls)
Golabki are cabbage leaves stuffed with ground beef and rice, then simmered in tomato soup. This works great in the oven or a slow cooker. Serve them with the pan juices and a drizzle of sour cream, or mix the pan juices with sour cream and ladle it over the cabbage rolls. They're also good with mashed potatoes and a cucumber and sour cream salad. They freeze well too — either before or after cooking.
Moo Shu Chicken with Mandarin Pancakes
This is a decidedly American version of moo shu chicken, but fast to make! The Mandarin pancakes, also called moo shu shells, can be found in almost any Asian market, but feel free to use flour tortillas. Keep in mind the moo shu shells are much thinner than a typical flour tortilla, and have a different (pasta-like) taste.
Wheat Crackers
These thin wheat crackers are simple and thrifty to make. They go great with almost any dip or spread, and taste much fresher than factory-made crackers.
