Grandma’s Stuffed Cabbage
I wanted to share with you my Grandma’s Stuffed Cabbage recipe. This is particularly good this time of year, perhaps for the Chanukah celebration or anytime there is a frost in the air. It is comfort food. Make for the family or for guests.

Sweet Potato Latkes
Potato latkes at Chanukah are a significant dish, not because of the potato, but because of the oil. You may want to try this variation made with sweet potatoes. They are equally delicious but very nutritious due to the abundance of anti-oxidants in the sweet potato. I made these for Foodie the other night and they were a big hit!
