Vegetarian Stuffed Cabbage

I know it has been a little since I posted but I recently started a full time job so I am getting used to working all the time and having time to cook.  This weekend I went home which means I got to cook with my mom.  My mom and me have very similar tastes and it is great to come home and cook.  My mom found this recipe for stuffed cabbage and it was vegetarian.  Growing up we always had stuffed cabbage so we were really excited to try this recipe.  I have to say that I like this BETTER than the traditional meat filled cabbage.
