(this is a real pic of a Saudi camel!)
Well, it's officially the new year. And I celebrated it in Saudi Arabia. That's one for the books. I know that 2012 will hold some amazing things for my family and I'm very excited for the upcoming year!As I'm sure most of you have...we have a traditional meal that we are supposed to eat on New Year's Day in order to ensure a good new year. For us, that's pork and sauerkraut.
Unfortunately, that poses a problem here. For one, um, no pork. At all. Two, no kraut. Nope, none. Now, if I was planning properly, I should have just made some homemade kraut, but I wasn't thinking and I've run out of time...(but that is on my to do list)
That being said, I have decided to start yet another new family tradition. For every year we are here in Saudi, we will have Stuffed Cabbage...Arabian Style. It has cabbage, so technically I'm keeping a bit of my families traditions in tact...kinda. ;)
I've made this dish once before and we all really enjoyed it. Looking forward to having it again tonight and starting a new New Year Day tradition.
Happy New Year once again from my family in Saudi to yours. Wishing you a fabulous (and prosperous!) 2012!

We always have Cherries Jubilee on New Year's Eve. Basically, a warm cherry sauce over vanilla ice cream. Can't get the ingredients for that here. Man, I should come up with something new, too.
