Cabbage and Noodles Linda Williamson's Style
Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe came from my Dutch Great Grandmother Linda Williamson. My Grandma Elaine Mazur (Nanna) had her version too. I'll add both here. I never really tried my Grandmother's way 'cuz I always used my Great Grandma's way. But my husband raved about my Grandma's way and said if nobody's watching he'll eat the whole pot! O.O LOL
