Cooked Cabbage
"No cabbage smell, I swear. This isn't sauerkraut. People in my family who won't walk in the same room because they heard you were cooking cabbage, will sit down and eat with other foods."

Easy and filling when watching calories!! I just added a little onion and minced garlic to my drippings before adding cabbage. Excellent!! -
A childhood recipe I remember my great aunt used to make. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Its one of my favorites as I was growning up. Love the bacon flavor. Also its a very easy recipe to prepare with having good old country cooking such as Fried chicken and homemade buttermilk biscuits. Thanks again! -

I've relocated to Nashville from Louisiana lived with family for awhile but in my own place in Hermitage, TN . My mother collected cookbooks and I've continued her passion! My favorite cookbook is from my mom, I picked her brain for all her recipes, before she went to heaven. Had fun deciphering if the handful she showed was a cup, or just enough to cover bottom of pot would be WHAT! I now work at a large hospital in the Reference Lab and have people already drooling over the things they hear I can cook!!!! Love the ocean, walking on the beach, or in the woods and mountains, anything to do with water. Like doing a lot of different crafts for my church, sewing,quilting, traveling and of course COOKING!
