Eat your Cabbage, wear your shoes.🙋‍♀️

I love cabbage. Sometimes I crave it. Fried, boiled, salad, whatever. I was at our local produce market recently, and there was a whole bin of beautiful cabbage. Called out to me, so I grabbed some.

Live Love Fruit website had this lovely chart as to the health quality within cabbage. All I know is I thought about Cabbage and noodles ever since I placed that in the crisper.

There are a lot of cooks and seasoned kitchen magicians who will have a much more fancy way to do this comfort food staple. I’ll go through mine. It’s easy, quick – 30 minutes from start to bowl – with a few healthy alternatives, and seasonings.

You’ll need:

Head of green cabbage

1/2 sweet vadalia onion, chopped

2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves, minced)

Turkey Smoked Sausage

Salt, pepper, butter ( Smart Balance) all to taste

Or…Mrs. Dash – or other salt free seasoning.

You’ll see what I mean about the seasoning here in a second.

Well, that picture came out blurry, and I didn’t realize that until I looked. Too late!! But, add your butter choice, onion, and garlic to your pan. Saute on high until things look a tad brown, then turn the heat down and let that all sweat. People say let your onions sweat and I think of the gym.

While all that sweating is going on, I cut up the sausage into bite size pieces and add to the pan, turn your heat back up, and brown them and toss around with the sweaty onion and garlic. Chop up your cabbage and add to the pan to cook. Stirring all that together in the pan.

It is here that you would salt and pepper that to taste. I use this Farm Dust seasoning from Weavers Dutch Country Seasonings. This stuff is fantastic. It has a wonderful balance of herbs and spices for veggies in my opinion.

Turn your heat to simmer as soon as the cabbage is looking softer, cover, and prepare the noodles.

” No Yolks ” are the bomb. Little healthier , and cook up quick, and are quite tasty.

Mix all together, and boom!! Cabbage and noodles comfort bowls coming right up!!

As a side note: I keep minced garlic around. Even though fresh garlic is just the best, this is so nice when you don’t have any. I have found Spice World has the best version.

Such a quick and easy meal. With a healthy touch if you are watching those things. The Turkey sausage is every bit as flavorful, and less fat is a good idea I suppose.
