Cabbage Soup 1 small-medium head of cabbage chopped small 3 or 4 diced green onions 2 small cans of sliced mushrooms 2 stems of celery chopped small 2 cans of all white chicken meat (I use 3 of the chicken breasts that I cooked in a big pot of water with some veggies. Then, I save the broth and strain out the veggies) 1 gallon of chicken stock or combination of water and stock to make about 1 gallon. 2 sticks (1/2#) of butter In a large pot, saute the mushrooms in the 2 sticks of butter. Add in the celery and green onions and saute till a little tender. Add the head of cabbage and stir. Let it cook until the cabbage wilts and softens. Add in the chicken and stir. Finally, add the chicken stock and let simmer for about 1 hour. Season to your liking with salt, pepper, garlic powder and a little thyme.

Beef Rouladen (Omas Recipe) made for low carb "Oma, means Grandmother" Preheat oven to 350 ![]() green onions,cut into 2 or 3 inch pieces dill pickle spears bacon, precooked soft, save bacon drippings mustard Pounding out the meats make the squares larger and easy to roll. Cut round steak into four even squares ,I pound them out to tenderize, spread mustard on each piece, add green onion slices, add two bacon slices, may have to fold bacon. Then add dill spear. Roll meat as tightly as you can,either tie meat or use toothpicks. Brown in bacon drippings,transfer to baking pan, cover and bake 45 minutes to one hour. Meat will be tender.
