Cabbage My Way

Some might not like their cabbage overly done, but here’s a recipe in case you do!

• One head of cabbage (or two-depending on family size)
• add salt and pepper to taste
• garlic pepper to taste
• crushed red pepper
• butter
• bacon
• bacon grease
• water

Cut cabbage into small pieces (or ad lib-however you like it) and wash cabbage. Put cabbage into deep sauce pan and cover with water about halfway (or ad lib, just don’t cover cabbage all the way with water). Add all seasonings, including bacon and bacon grease. Cook until desired consistency, longer if you like all the way done.

Green Beans ala Soul

I love to experiment with green beans and give it a soulful taste. Here’s a simple recipe for a quick and easy dish of green beans.

4 cans (15oz) green beans

1 packet of Lipton Golden Onion Soup Mix

1 tsp of garlic pepper (or as desired)

1 smoked turkey wing

1 container of chicken broth

Drain water from the cans of green beans. Place green beans in a pot and add chicken broth and turkey wing. Add seasonings, including golden onion soup mix. Cook on medium for about 1 hour and 30 minutes (cooking times may vary, depending on the person).
