I need to work on my rolling technique

Since I usually try to cook for my Granny (which everyone knows by now), this was without onions. But all-in-all it came out just like they did when I bought them at my Church's polish festival :) I didn't have tomato sauce, so I used Diced tomatoes in sauce and then tomato paste to top it off with. :) The hardest part was getting the leaves of cabbage off in one piece. :( And I need to work on how to roll things correctly. They always seem to come out weird, but as long as they're tasty!

Recipe used: Easy to bake, easy to make
