Flora Skukalek’s Halupki Recipe

A Dickens Station Family Recipe

Those of you who have read A Sugarbush Easter, a free Dickens Station mystery short story available on DickensStation.com, will recall the tale highlighted two Dickens Station Family Recipes, Amelia Dickens’s Empty Tomb Rolls and librarian Flora Skukalek’s Easter favorite, halupki (cabbage rolls).

Since I didn’t repost the halupki recipe last Easter and have many new subscribers, this week’s edition is a repost of this scrumptious recipe.  You can read and download the recipe from the Dickens Station Family Cookbook at DickensStation.com.

Another fun fact many of you may not know is when I wrote A Sugarbush Easter, I held a contest to find reader’s favorite Easter recipes. I featured the contest winner in a cameo role in A Sugarbush Easter. So, Dickens Station’s librarian, Flora Skukalek, is actually a good friend of mine, AnnMarie Flora, a librarian in real life. This recipe is one of Nana Skukalek’s recipes AnnMarie has shared with Dickens Stationers everywhere.

Next week, I will re-release A Sugarbush Easter, free to read, just in time for the holiday.

    I love how you use recipes as a tie-in to your stories! I wish I had a nana to make these cabbage rolls for me. It sounds like a lot of work.
