    Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (Golabki) Stuffed Cabbage Rolls or Golabki is the Polish name of a dish popular in cuisines of Central Europe, made from boiled cabbage leaves wrapped around a filling of minced pork or beef, chopped onions, and rice or barley.

Which is absolutely not true. I have found many ways to make the holidays magical for me, Mr. Tipsy and my…
