Cabbage!

 Ok, so I know this is totally random.. But I love cabbage! Not so much how it tastes, but really how easy and affordable it is!  A head of cabbage is normally about $.15 a pound or $1 a head.  You can even get it at the farm stand for as little as 3/$1!  Its pretty versatile too. You can  add it to soups and stews, make one pot meals by adding meat and potatoes, or eat it alone. It's pretty good for you too.. here are some Cabbage Stats.
I like to prepare my cabbage like this:

• Wash outside cabbage leaves and remove any discolored or wilted leaves
•  Cut cabbage into wedges until core is exposed

Cabbage Core

• Cut wedges into fork sized pieces
• Add cabbage to large pot or dutch oven
• Add 1 Cup of water
• Add 1/4 cup Olive Oil (Less if  you are making less cabbage)
• Add 2 tbsp butter (optional, leave this out for a healthier dish)
• Add Pinch of Dill/ Caraway Seeds/ Basil (as you can see this is where you can get a little creative)
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Set flame to medium heat and cover
• Stir to mix all of the seasonings and cabbagey deliciousness
•   Let cook for 10-15 minutes  or until cabbage is tender and ENJOY!

 This is just one very simple and quick way to add some veggies to your meal or a quick meal in itself!

Happy cooking Blurbettes!
