My Menu Upside Down and Golumpkies for Kacey and Me.

October 31st, 2013

I was pretty tired Tuesday after getting home from work...so I shuffled my weekly menu ideas around. 
Instead of making my Gramma's amazing stuffed cabbage, or as I know them "Golumpkies"...I decided to opt for an easier dinner...which ended up being English Muffin Pizzas.  
Hooray right? An easy home cooked meal ready for Mr. Picky Pants as soon as he woke up before work. 
Hahaha...if only! Jage came into the kitchen and took one look at them and I knew it was pure instinct that had had me warm up the remainder of the chicken pot pie I had made the night before. 
And, of course he sat down and devoured the rest of that and I ate my English Muffin Pizza's that were in fact DELICIOUS. So delicious that I neglected to take a picture of them...whoops.

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to not have to work (well I didn't work today either), but I was Hell bent on making stuffed cabbages...which is exactly what I did.
I mixed up the ingredients for the filling and stuffed the pre-boiled cabbage leaves then stuck them all on the steam rack in my crock pot. I let the little buggers steam for about 6 hours and then took one out to try.

YUM!!!! They were AMAZING.

I had spent a few hours that afternoon making cookies with Jage's sister Kacey and her 3 kids, and while she was here she had asked if I would share my golumpkies. I of course said yes, and when they were done I packed some up and took them to her work so she could enjoy them for her dinner. 
She really liked them, which was a blessing because Mr. Picky Pants did not...so he ate the left over tuna casserole I had made them all for lunch (yuck). I indulged on several delectable golumpkies and Kacey came over after work and enjoyed a few more. So between the two of us, we polished off this whole pot of sheer deliciousness.

All in all, I'd say it was a successful dinner...even though Mr. Picky Pants snubbed his nose at this Polish treat. 

Onward to the next recipe!!
