Potato Cabbage Sausage Dinner

This is the first meal of my experiment to actively show you how I use what is in the house, ready to leave this world, if I don't save it.

 My biggie was the bag of shredded cabbage, I had planned to used on the Sabbath, and then just didn't bother with it.  The other was a package of Italian sausages with only two left.  Potatoes, carrots, onions and apples are usually on hand.

 Although I did add black pepper, this does not need much in the way of spices.  The sausage is strong enough to permeate the vegetable.  The crispy apple adds the crunch (slight) but it makes a difference.

 Ingredients:

 2 Sweet Italian Sausages. sliced
1 huge onion (Costco style), rough chopped
3 large potatoes, rough diced
2 large carrots, sliced
12 ounces of cabbage
1 - 3 apples, rough chopped in 1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 cups organic vegetable soup
water or additional soup if necessary

 Method:

 Spray a large skillet with cooking oil (olive)

 Brown the sausage and chopped onions for about ten minutes, mixing occasionally.

 Add the potatoes and cook for another five minutes.  Add carrots.

 Add vegetable soup to cover the potatoes, onions, and carrots.

 Cook for ten minutes until everything is cooked.

 Add cabbage and additional soup or water and cook until the cabbage wilts slightly.

 Microwave apple and brown sugar for 90 seconds.  Mix into cabbage mixture.

 Place in a casserole and serve.

 Eat and enjoy.

    This looks both yummy and healthy. I need to use cabbage more often.

    Last time I used cabbage I shredded the remainder and then threw it in the freezer. I will have to try this. I may add the pepper anyway--I love spices.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
