Cabbage Rolls II
This recipe is excellent, I looked at the reviews and other recipes and made a few alterations; my family loved them. I quadrupled the sauce recipe. And I used 1# of hamburger and 1# of spicey italian sausage. I ended up with 2 casseroles (one for the freezer). Also, I steamed one head of lettuce and it went to long and ended up a mushy mess. I found a video on the internet with a different technique for the cabbage leaves and I'll never do it another way. Get a very large pot of water and bring up to a small boil; as you're waiting for the water to boil core the cabbage head with a fairly wide margin at the top and take off the outer leaves that are dirty. Once the water is hot, place the cabbage head into the boiling water. After about a minute or so, the outside leaves will start to separate from the head; approx every 45 seconds a leaf or two will separate. As they separate remove them from the water into a pie tin or bowl. This is fail proof and the leaves are the perfect softness to roll with ease.

Real Hummus
This was very good, I used 3 cloves of garlic because that's how my family eats. Next time I would not use so much of the bean liquid, it was a little runny for our taste. But very good, I'll definitely make in the future.

Chicken Taquitos
These were excellent; I used a mexican cheese mix and green tomatilla sauce I'd made for another recipe along with a store bought roasted chicken and they were delicious. My son is allergic to soy and all the pre-made taquitos have soy in them...so I end up making a lot of stuff from scratch. These are wonderful and lend themselves to just about any filling you want to use. I did quickly fry them in some oil so they were more pliable and while messy and more time consuming, it was just the trick to make them stay together and not split. Will definitely make these again, my husband LOVED them!!!
