I'll bet Nonna's house smells wonderful 24/7.

[@onlyjesussaves840]

I'd pay for the smells! ;)

[@RosiG73]

My family is Polish and Italian. My Polish Grandma and Mom made these. In Polish, they’re called Gołąbki. It is roughly pronounced “Go-woom-key”. And they bring back wonderful memories for me so thanks for posting this❣️

[@LVVMCMLV]

Ditto to everything you said… Being Italian and Polish my favorite joke came from Rodney Dangerfield. He said 'I have a friend that's Italian and Polish. He wants to hit somebody but he doesn't know who'. If you can't make fun of yourself, you can't make fun of anybody else.

[@allison471]

Ga-wum-kee! Yum the best food ever 😊

[@mikethepups7742]

same here … Dad was Polish and Mom was Sicilian … omg … the food was delish! Made these often.

[@Mike-dy8sj]

My grandmother was Polish and made these also. Same name but we nick named them wumpkies. She would be so strict about the brand of rice and fat content of the meat. She would make tons because everyone wanted to take them home after a holiday at her house. There great for breakfast with an over easy egg on top. This was a huge part of my best memories.

[@loubock3238]

Beautiful cabbage rolls, brava nonna!!

[@ucimarapski777]

I’m from Serbia. We make the cabbage rolls with sauerkraut (pickled cabbage) in the wintertime. Add some cured meat: bacon, pork ribs or smoked sausage and it’s yummm 😋

[@agnesmeszaros-matwiejuk8783]

Hungarians as well make it the same way!

[@claudiaa8229]

Pickled cabbage sounds so good.

[@shawnblackhawk6718]

I have no grandparents. Can I adopt Nonna and Nanno? I promise to love, cherish and honor them, just like family.

[@onlyjesussaves840]

It's: Nonna, & Nonno. Not Nanno, this isn't Mork, & Mindy. ;)

[@tonyducks1121]

Oh Nonna!! My mom is Polish and used to make cabbage rolls all the time growing up! Bravo! 😋❤️

[@thespicynonna]

It's so good!

[@qwispery]

I learned to make cabbage rolls from my Slovak mother. We called them Halupki. I always used ground beef and I rolled the cabbage a bit differently, rolling from the bottom of the leaf and tucking the sides in as I roll them up. The ground pork looks delicious though. I may have to try a mixture.

[@teetertotter-me1nl]

Cabbage rolls are awesome.

[@Kayla-mx3ss]

My grandmother, Helen (Polish), used to make this for my grandfather (Danny) on at least a monthly basis. Wish I would have gotten her recipe when I had the chance. I appreciate you sharing this because it's the next best thing to learning from my own grandmother ❤️

[@onlyjesussaves840]

Awesome comment. :)

[@JamesOzmun]

Gosh, it all looks so delicious!! And Julian, when you mentioned Nonna _just knows_ , down here in the south, we call that guesstimating. It's an acquired ability. And when someone here asks what it means, we also respond with, " you just know" .

[@MyRandomComment728]

Hi Nonna, If you slam the bottom if the cabbage on a hard surface it will losen the bottom part and it will come out easier. It does work, you are an amazing woman. I admire you, your husband and your entire family very much. ❤

[@Coco-zu9ob]

I do that to remove the core of the iceberg lettuce. 😊

[@kims8317]

I love cabbage rolls. We always bake them, though. We do them in the oven instead of on the stove.

[@onlyjesussaves840]

LOL AT WHEN HER DAUGHTER SAID: "I THINK IT IS MORE THAN THAT" & NONNA SAYS: "NO!" TOO FUNNY! :)

[@heideleskun1163]

We use beef and pork and the filling can be used for stuffed peppers. We use Tomato juice and sauce. Use big leaves that you would discard on the bottom and top of the pan to bake them. LOVE stuffed cabbage and peppers.

[@jamesmatheson5115]

Cabbage Rolls or Grape Vine Leaf Rolls, so good, my mouth is watering.

[@dj1469]

I grew up in Western, PA - these are a must! We called them pigs in a blanket or Golabki!

[@honeybeesinstatham1384]

Have you heard of the Ateleta club in Bloomfield, it was popular during the '70s, '80s and '90s. But it's not there anymore. Supported the people from Ateleta coming to the US. Beautiful.

[@dj1469]

@@honeybeesinstatham1384 Yes! Wonderful place. I grew up in a town north of Pittsburgh - New Castle - it's commonly referred to as the "Little Italy."

[@corneliaafara9682]

In Sweden we call them Kåldolmar. If you do it in a pan like Lasagna it's Kålpudding. Also Thank you for starting this channel! Warms my lonely heart.

[@joslac5018]

Yummy! By mother-in-law made them with the savoy cabbage and my mom made them with regular cabbage. Both soooo good! I make it all chopped layered like lasagna in a casserole dish the lazy way 😂

[@marie-elenacarroll7730]

Can't wait until you all decide to do a Nonna's cookbook.❤️

[@onerainiday]

Thank you for adding the recipe at the end of the video.

[@antoniosidoni5310]

Bello vedere il canovaccio (canvas) della regione Abruzzo sul tavolo. Vuol dire che dopo tanti anni hanno relazioni con parenti e amici in Italia e hanno l'Abruzzo nel cuore. Molto bello questo !!!!!

[@susannmoreno1458]

😋 Merry Christmas to your family.

[@allison471]

I grew up eating the best golambki from my Polish Grandmother & my mom! They used a beef & pork meat mixture w/rice and always cooked them on the stove for a few hours & the house would always smell sooo good! Always served with homemade mashed potatoes, Cucumbers & sour cream Excellent combination of foods, Oh how I miss them ❤ Good for you Nonna they looked delicious 😊

[@genevieveaitola3541]

Every Sunday Granny and me made ravioli's, We used plywood to cut the squares. That's Italian.....loved her miss her so much❤❤❤❤❤

[@williammonaghan3724]

I lost my Nana last year, and loved watching her cook, over the years (and whilst we'll always never agree who's nana is the best cook) I get the same 'comfort' and enjoyment watching 'Nonna' cook... Great video's keep them coming, these are brilliant..

[@weswagner-kq3wq]

Nice people and Nice food

[@gloriaalex11]

Yum, cabbage rolls. Nonna is so versatile. I'm lucky to come from an area that had immigrants from many different countries. The grandmas exchanged recipes and each church had festivals, so we got to enjoy a variety of delicious foods growing up.

[@DanielBMr-SundaySauce]

Awesome !!! Love this Lady. And your whole family. Thanks for sharing. Daniel NYC ...

[@stevethornber677]

Noona, the cabbage rolls look delicious. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@thespicynonna]

They are!!

[@r6095o]

Thank you for sharing! Im from northern Europe and live in US - this is exactly the type of cabbage recipe I was looking for today. Wholesome video too 😊

[@thespicynonna]

Glad it was helpful!

[@r6095o]

🥰

[@maxkid6446]

Merry Christmas to you venssa and nona

[@phyllisg6217]

With the smaller leaves and harder pieces of cabbage, you can make a bed at the bottom of your pan for the rolls to lay on! Nothing is wasted…

[@lenlen7893]

W Polsce robimy gołąbki, jest to bardzo popularne danie, z mięsa wieprzowego, ryżu, czasami trochę kaszy gryczanej, sól i pieprz, majeranek, i sok pomidorowy własnej roboty ze słoika - wtedy są najpyszniejsze, na kolację Wigilia Świąt Bożego Narodzenia robimy bez mięsa - wtedy kasza gryczana, grzyby suszone namoczone ugotowane, sól i pieprz, trochę majeranku, i też zalewamy sokiem pomidorowym😘😘😘, aaa i jeszcze trochę smażonej cebuli😊 do środka oczywiście 😘

[@hadasabriciu3462]

Oh, I remember when I first made cabbage rolls (with sauer kraut) - I was on a whatsapp call with my mom and grandma and they were both explaining me how to fold the cabagge leaf around the meat. It went something like this : "yes, now roll it, roooolll it, tuck in, noooo, tuck in, no, not like that, no - ugh, there, you spoiled it. grab another leaf and try again". I made them for a dinner with friends - nothing was left in the dutch oven within half an hour of putting them on the table :D They are absolutely delicious and should be tried at least once in a lifetime :) There are many traditions and variations around this dish, each region has its own name for it - congrats to Nonna for going international :D

[@californigirl]

look at all the family stories! I love watching these videos because we all have the best family stories from everywhere. My grandgrad would fix a pot full of sarma every once in a while. I never got to experience that. His family immigrated from (Croatia) Austro-Hungary in 1908

[@TuckerSP2011]

Very nice! I love cabbage rolls.

[@CandyCoated7779]

my mom made cabbage rolls granted was not my fave but learned to like them.

[@Nikki7B]

My mom is lebanese, and my mom and grandma used to make cabbage rolls too, a lot of times, for Sunday, after church, when the family would all join together. Yummy. I love how cabbage rolls are a well loved food from so many backgrounds, in the comments.

[@user-ff5vt2lu8v]

Nonna cooks with love . 🤗

[@jhlfsc]

Italian here too and of course these would be one of my children's favorite dishes because they are a GIANT P.I.A. to make, I don't care what anybody says! Lol Nonna is right, you can just freeze the cabbage too first instead of boiling it and they wilt down so you can roll them without the extra boiling step.

[@janethamil9337]

My family loves cabbage rolls. Our recipes uses ground beef instead of pork. hmmm, I would love to try it with pork. We bake ours and I use cooked rice. Aww, I wish I had some cabbage at home, today, I would love to put some together for supper.

[@Coco-zu9ob]

My mother was Italian and she made cabbage rolls and we loved them. We had polish neighbors when my parents were first married and they taught her how to make golabkis (sp?). She stewed them in tomato sauce as well, i guess Italians put their own spin on things. 😊

[@cookfrances]

I love cabbage rolls.

[@narghizahashimova4385]

I am not from Poland or Greece, I am originally from Uzbekistan, but I live in NY and we also prepare this dish and call it golubci . We pour a little sour cream or yogurt with garlic and dill on top. Yammm... I was planning to cook this dish tomorrow. Grazie Nonna!

[@rosebud45]

I am from former ussr (Azerbaijan). We used to make it too. We called goluptsi. Only with beef though no pork

[@genevieveaitola3541]

My Granny used to freeze to get leaves off.

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

My ex-wife wasn't what you would call a great cook (I cooked most of the time), but she made THE best cabbage rolls I've ever had. I can't eat rice so she'd use orzo pasta instead. I've tried to duplicate them, but I just can't. She baked hers, the sauce reduced a lot and thickened up, it was just sublime.

[@Knobiks]

awsome! greetings from Poland!

[@katherinekelly9689]

Hi, nonna & family, in my family when we made cabbage rolls, we pickled the cabbage for about 5-6weeks ( water, salt and a little white vinegar) to the meat mixture we added paprika powder the rest as nonna does, it delicious and very filling meal. Love Katherine xoxo

[@pyrophoresist1497]

I love Nonna & Nonno's accents. You can hear Italian inflections in all their words (having lived in North & Centre Italy in the past). Nonno sounded like many of my Italian university professors.

[@claudiaa8229]

Great idea to add the recipe at the end of the video awesome. Thank you guys❤️

[@anne_vvv]

I'm Polish, and this makes me happy ❤ in my house, we added a bit of tomato paste into the mixture but baked the whole thing with less liquid, which is a less popular version. Just a fun fact I guess.

I started cooking mine in the slow cooker and they turn out really tender…

[@ljjackson7106]

I'm 66 now but when I was 16 (no, that can't be 50 years ago, can it?) my boyfriend's parents were from Poland and his mom used to make Golumpki and I have never tried to make but I will now thanks to Nonna!!! Grazie~!!! (Have you tried pierogis?)

[@MoonFairy11]

Everything Nonna makes looks delicious. I wish we had smell a vision. The flavor must be really amazing!❤

[@marjoriecook7556]

I’ve only ever seen cabbage rolls done in the oven, but does make sense to boil in sauce…I bet it cooks quicker, too!

[@LoriCurl]

My mom taught me to make these, but we are of German descent. This is comfort food to me!! Thank You for reminding me to make some for the holidays!

[@KrisH-px2jk]

Looks like you're using Savoy cabbage. We usually use white cabbage in cabbage dishes here in Finland. Savoy cabbage is some sort of an expensive variety over here. Cabbage rolls used to be eaten here a lot but these days mostly old folks eat them.

[@YumYumDelishNSip]

Delicious 🤤 my family make these, we call them pigs in a blanket, we tie sowing thread on them & boiled them in sauce. ❤

[@julespowell4896]

Love this Vlog. Bless Nonna.

[@Kuchsmith1]

Hey Julie 🌹🌹🌹 How is your Christmas 🌹 going over there??

[@YearRoundEggnogNogger]

Nonnas other catch phrases: "thats it" "you better believe it" "just a lil bit" I love it! ❤️ Consider yourself very blessed to have such a wonderful, kind hearted woman as her in your life. She and Nonno are such incredible people, the world is a much better place with them in it.

[@agnesmeszaros-matwiejuk8783]

I like to just rinse the rice and I add it uncooked with more water. I like it better when it cooks in the sauce, it gets more flavorful.

[@BonFire71]

Mmmhh, Kohlrouladen, in German. In Germany often made with Savoy cabbage or white cabbage but this version in some tomatoe sauce and with rice in it also looks very delicious ! 👍

[@christinehill55]

Wow wow wow very nice I bought a cabbage yesterday just to do this but my question is the red sauce is it a marinra❤ not a sauce? Thank you in advance and please keep posting We are watching you thank you thank you for all your knowledge😊

[@Moona1966]

What a great recipe, thank you for sharing! Question: What type of cabbage did Nonna use? I've never seen cabbage like that before.

[@paulinedavis8734]

I’m 1/2 Ukrainian, been making HOLUPKI ( pronounced ..HOLE ...LUP ...CHI ) my whole life. We prepare the cabbage like NONNA in boiling water to remove the leaves.....but WE use 1/3 hamburger, 1/3 veal & 1/3 pork in the cooked rice, onion, garlic & dill in the mixture. We put the cabbage rolls in a traditional carbon steel metal casserole on top of a layer of cabbage leaves... WE mix ONE large litre of Allen’s tomato juice that was mixed with one can of Campbell’s Tomato Soup ( no water) ....& pour on top of the cabbage rolls in the casserole..... THEN cover the cabbage rolls ...with remaing cabbage leaves ...and put the whole thing in the OVEN 350F for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.... EAT with sour cream.❤❤
