The little things.

This is what unemployment does to you.  Not only have I become obsessed with dance shows such as Breaking Pointe, Bunheads, and So You Think You Can Dance, but I found myself looking forward to Tuesday nights because my favorite shows, What Not To Wear, and now Teen Mom is on.  It was a little sad, MTV has been advertising Teen Mom for a few weeks and I though 'Oh, goody I have something to do, something to look forward to." Yikes Right?

Well As Promised Here's a cheap and easy Cabbage roll recipe

Stuffed Cabbage

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Total Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes

Yield: 4 to 5 servings

Serving Size: 2 cabbage rolls

• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup chopped yellow onion
• 1 medium head (about 2 pounds) green cabbage
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 can (16 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13- by 9-inch pan with cooking spray or oil.

In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine the beef, cooled onion, rice,  and salt. With the stem side of the cabbage leaf facing you, place a scant 1/3 cup of the beef mixture in the center of each cabbage leaf. Fold the bottom edge over the mixture and then fold the sides over and roll into a tidy packet. Place the cabbage rolls, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish.

In a bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, broth, and paprika. Pour evenly over the cabbage rolls. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
