I am new to your blog – and these look great! I’d love to try them…but what do you consider a serving size? I have a large family and it is so much easier to shop/plan when recipes say something like “4 servings/8 medium sized cabbage rolls). thank you!!!

Erin, I really enjoy and appreciate your blog. However, I have one suggestion for improvement. You talk frequently of food allergies, but seem to primarily consider the gluten/soy/dairy/egg issues that your family contends with. I’d love it if you called out peanuts and tree nuts, or even suggested alternatives to those in your recipes. (In some recipes it’s no big deal to leave the nuts out; in others, without the nuts something is just missing.) There are 8 top food allergens (the other 2 being fish and shellfish) – I think it would improve the food allergy portion of your site to address all of those. Thanks!

Love that Heidi!

I thought about adding cheese, but decided against it. Will have to try that next time!

I do it that way for when I make homemade pizza sauce too! At first, because I was feeling lazy…but then it occurred to me that it was a smart way to use less dishes

I grew up eating these but instead of peanuts we mixed white rice into the meat mixture and a little of the sauce for moisture. Then we rolled them in the leaves and slathered them with the rest of the sauce. Right before they were done we would top them with provolone cheese.

I love the Thai twist on the cabbage rolls! I also like the tip for adding spices directly to the can – I’m always looking for ways to cut back on dishes.
