Walkin' on the Wild Side!

You know what I did today? It's crazy. It's spontaneous. Here it is, hold on to your hats! I changed the dinner menu. I know. You're thinking, "Wow, she really needs to get out more!" I probably do. Well, I know I do. But that's a whole different blog post.  Anyhow, I make the menu for the week on Sundays, when I do my grocery shopping so I have everything I need for whatever I'm going to make.  Tonight's menu was "Tuscan Pork Medallions" and yes, it's as good as it sounds. So, why on earth did I change? And why does it matter? Is it worth a whole blog post on this? Did I tell you I  need to get out more? Well, it's cold (not really, but it seems cold for some reason) and cloudy out and I just got a wild hair and wanted to make beerocks.  We'll save the pork medallions for tomorrow. So, I decide to make beerocks. They're kind of labor intensive. But, I had my go-to bread recipe - zwiebach dough. That stuff will do anything.

And then I brown the ground beef and put in the shredded cabbage and onions. Now, you really need to make sure you season it well. Hamburger meat and cabbage aren't the most flavorful, so plenty of salt and pepper are in order.

And then.... the secret ingredient. My recipe is the only one I know of that includes this.

Yes, Cream of Mushroom Soup. It keeps the filling from getting dry and adds flavor. Then you roll out the dough, add the filling and seal it up.

They look like this. I let them rise and bit and then bake them.They're really yummy. I love beerocks. My kids aren't overly thrilled with cabbage, but they'll get over it.

And there they are, fresh out of the oven. I rub the tops with a little butter while they're still hot. Don't they look delicious? Wanna come on over to my house for dinner?
