Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
I kicked it up a bit by adding a little Italian sausage to the ground beef, and extra seasonings. I also cooked them in the slow cooker (great). They were a little "loose" right from the crock, but the left overs -- after being refrigerated -- WOW! They were much much better the second night -- they firmed up very nicely and stayed more together after reheating in the microwave. Huge sucess - can't wait to make them again. Also used 2 cans of tomato soup like several recommended.

German Potato Pancakes
These were AWESOME! These were the real deal -- REAL authentic potato pancakes! I was a bit worried about the excess liquid from the shredded potatoes, but I just drain and continued with the recipe. My potatoes were rather large, so I think next time I'll double the onions! Thank you for such a wonder (AND EASY) recipe!
