I have been told that these German Cabbage Pockets are the real deal. I don't know - as I haven't been to Germany but I do know this meal is yummy. It does really require a SMALL amount of work because you get to knead the dough. But again, make it fun and have your kids help you. These are worth the effort! My other tip is you need a good sauce to dip these in. We like mustard because that seems like authentic German! I hope you have enjoyed your trips around the world this week, if you prepared the meals as I instructed, you hit at least 49 fruits, herbs & vegetables! Great Job!
