Welcome to My Kitchen

This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.

Chicken and Quinoa Stuffed Cabbage

I was trying to think of a healthier stuffed cabbage and came up with this.  Chris and Maura think it is better than the original.  I thought it was great but still like good ol' fashioned Golumpki.
You will need:
1 head of cabbage, boiled until pliable and then cooled
3 3/4 cups cooked, cooled quinoa
16 oz. ground chicken
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 can tomato soup
Method:
Cut core out of cabbage and boil in a pot with enough water to cover the cabbage.  I boiled with the lid on for about ten minutes.  Cool.
Meanwhile cook quinoa according to package directions.  Cool.  (I cooled it in the fridge for about 30 min.)
Mix cooled quinoa, ground chicken and egg substitute.  Stuff each cabbage leaf with a dollop of mixture and roll tightly. 
I cooked mine in a small roaster.  After all are rolled, cover with tomato soup and bake with lid on for about 1 hour at 350 degrees.
I got 18 rolls so these worked out to 2.6 WW points each.
