I really feel like having cabbage & broccoli for dinner tonight, but what can i serve with it that is low cal?

2011-11-18T22:03:00.001-08:00

I'm trying to maintain my weight so i dont want to eat anything calorific. The veggies are basically nothing, but they'll seem kinda plain and bland just on their own. Any good real low cal suggestions to go with? Mint sauce is always good for taste.

the other day i had plum tinned tomatoes with cabbage (it was ok, but they dont go well together).

I steam them with garlic powder to give them a garlicky flavor. It's OUTSTANDING!
Reply:Try some protein in there too like Cod,Halibut or Roughy. All good white fish with tons of vitamins and protein, and very healthy for you. I am always concerned when people try to lose weight, starve themselves and don't feed themselves right. There is too much information available at your fingertips, not to eat a well balanced diet. Starving yourself isn't the answer...Plus it's fun to enjoy your food...The key is not to over eat - Moderation is key... Good luck -remember you need your vitamins in order to avoid serious health problems - be smart about it to keep the weight off...
Reply:Try Tilapia. It's a fish and is very good.
Reply:Try stir frying the cabbage and broccoli and add some soy sauce, garlic, and onion. Once it's cooked through, add a giant spoonful of peanut butter and at the very end add in a handful of chopped cilantro (coriander). It'll be a nice Asian-inspired dinner and have the added protein from the peanut butter!

Can I buy cabbage patch dolls human clothes?

2011-11-18T22:03:00.000-08:00

My niece wants to buy cabbage patch clothes for her well, cabbage patch kid doll, but then, they're expensive and so I thought that maybe if we could just buy clothes intended for human kids and babies for the doll.

Will it fit for the doll?

Can I buy cabbage patch dolls human clothes?
Premie or newborn baby clothes may fit. It's been so long since i had a cabbage patch kid doll that I honestly can't remember what size clothes they take. Buy a cheap little outfit at a goodwill store and check it for size on the doll.

Why do recipes for cabbage call for one small or 1/2 large, etc...?

2011-11-18T22:02:00.010-08:00

The cabbage I got this weekend (for $2.00!) must have been about 20 pounds! If I followed the recipes that I've looked at, I would have way, way too much cabbage in the recipe. Do the people that write the recipes not know how to put chopped cabbage into measuring cups?

Why do recipes for cabbage call for one small or 1/2 large, etc...?
Some recipes are so imprecise!! Try recipes from Cooks Illustrated , they are the antithesis (sp)?of them
Reply:I had some cabbage this year in my garden.

It is amazing how large a head of cabbage can get.

I also discovered that they can stay for about 2 weeks in the fridge.

I froze some I sliced up but haven't had a chance to see how it'll be when i try to use it.

We got a little burnt out on cabbage this summer because it all comes in at one time. A person can only eat so much cabbage before they get tired of it.

I like to serve just steamed cabbage with pork chops or ham and boiled potatoes.

Cole slaw always a winner

I also like to fry up bacon and use the grease to cook the cabbage and serve with cornbread and tomatoes.
Reply:The people who write the recipes do NOT measure shredded cabbage as how thin it is shredded makes a difference on how much space it takes up. They would do better to give you a weight but they don't do that either.

The way to figure out how much is by mixing the sauce first, then begin shredding the cabbage and weighing it before you add to the sauce. Keep up with how much weight it takes to get you to the ratio of sauce vs cabbage you like and then use that for future batches.

Once you have an idea for that recipe you can use that as a basic amount for other recipes. Example: If this recipe uses one cup of liquid/sauce and 6 ounces of cabbage then you can work backwards from there for other recipes.

Just for the record, a lot of shredded cabbage goes in the can because of those type's of recipes. Unless of course you want to make spring rolls the next day:)
Reply:People "chop" foods differently, so there would be variations in what would be "3 cups of cabbage" as well. Cooking is not an exact science. If you are familiar with the recipe, chop as much as you think you need. If you are not familiar with the recipe and you think that the cabbage you bought is "XL", chop 3/4 of it and hopefully it is a recipe like coleslaw so you can add more if needed.
Reply:OK They envision the cooking pot size as you should do.
Reply:2 large heads green cabbage, shredded (about 10 cups)

does this help

1/2 large would be 2 1/2 cups

1 small would be probably 3 cups

Does red cabbage taste the same as white cabbage?

2011-11-18T22:02:00.009-08:00

could you use white cabbage even if a recipe calls for red?

Does red cabbage taste the same as white cabbage?
well it's best in cabbage.
Reply:Yes,they taste the same.Red just gives more color to the food.Hope this helps.
Reply:It tastes the same, the only thing different is the color.

Red cabbage makes a dish more colorful and pretty.

I MAKE CABBAGE ROLLS AND I NEED TO NO A BETTER WAY TO GET THEM OFF WITH MESSING THEM UP.

How to get cabbage leaves off easy?
There is really no easy way for me. of course I cut the core out, stick in a big pot of boiling water and peel them off on by one.
Reply:how funny, i just bought cabbage today to make cabbage rolls and i wondered the same thing.
Reply:Try and cut out most of the rind and then put it in your hot water. When it's softer I usually take a fork or a knife and separate them. Good luck.
Reply:You need to cut out the core and blanche them in boiling water.They need to be softened up a bit so you can roll the cabbage more easily.

Just put the rest of the cabbage into the frig after you've used the leaves for the rolls.You can use the rest up in soups or stews.Store in a ziplock bag and it will last quite awhile.
Reply:Cut them off the stem at the base of the central rib.

Boiling the whole cabbage first, gives you the problem of what to do with the rest of the cabbage.
Reply:I cut them off at the point where they are connected and peel them off backwards gently.

Cabbage Rolls? Yum! What time shall we show up?

Reply:Cabbage rolls are my favorite food, I wish I knew

how to make them.
Reply:Steam them first. Then cut out the core. They should come apart easily.

Could someone please give me a recipe for stuffed cabbage?
Hi,

Here's a recipe for you. I hope it's what you are looking for. Best wishes!

Stuffed Cabbage

This can be made ahead of time and frozen for a few days prior to cooking.

Servings:

8

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 pound ground beef

* 1 pound ground pork

* 1 onion, chopped

* 1 teaspoon salt

* black pepper to taste

* 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

* 1/2 cup cooked brown rice

* 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic salt

* 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup

* 27 ounces sauerkraut, drained

* 1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes

* 1 medium head cabbage

* 5 slices bacon

* 2 tablespoons white sugar

* 3 cups water

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a pot of water to a boil.

2. Mix beef and pork together. Stir in onion, cooked rice, parsley, salt, pepper, garlic salt and 1/2 can of tomato soup. Mix well.

3. Core head of cabbage, place in boiling water and boil until partly cooked. Separate leaves and trim stems. Reserve about 24 to 32 whole leaves. Cut remaining leaves and line the bottom of large roasting pan.

4. Lightly pack a small handful of the meat mixture and place in the center of a cabbage leaf. Fold top part of leaf over mixture, then fold in the sides and roll until mixture is completely encased. Lay rolls on top of torn cabbage leaves in pan. Place sauerkraut evenly over rolls. Lay bacon on top of sauerkraut. Sprinkle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix chopped tomatoes and soup with water and pour over rolls. Add additional water to reach top of cabbage rolls.

5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 1/2 hours or until cooked through.
Reply:STUFFED CABBAGE LEAVES

1 medium head cabbage

1 1/4 pounds ground beef

1 cup cooked rice

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning

garlic powder to taste

1 egg

2 Tablespoons oil

1 (12 ounces) can tomato sauce

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 cup water

Wash and place the head of cabbage in a large pot with water to cover. Cook over high heat. Boil cabbage over for 10 minutes, or until it is pliable and soft. Drain and allow to cool completely. Seperate leaves and remove the hard outer vein from the leaves.

In a separate large bowl, combine the beef, rice, onion, poultry seasoning, garlic powder and the egg, mixing well. Place a small amount, about 1/2 cup, into the center of a cabbage leaf and fold leaf over, tucking in the sides of the leaf to keep meat mixture inside.

(Some people use toothpicks to fasten them)

Heat the stuffed cabbages in oil of large pot or skillet, (I use an electric frying pan) putting any extra leaves on the bottom. Pour in the tomato sauce. Combine lemon juice, brown sugar and water. Stir into tomato sauce. Simmer covered, over medium-low heat for about 60 minutes.

Baste occasionally. (Keep an eye on them, making sure the bottom of leaves do not burn.)
Reply:go to allrecipes.com!
Reply:Here are two methods... one is easy and just OK, one is lengthy by awhole lot better.

EASY - OK:

1 can tomato soup

1 can whole cranberry sauce

1/2 bottle chili sauce

Juice of one lemon

STUFFING:

2 lbs. chopped meat

1 onion

1 cabbage

1 egg

Salt and pepper

1/4 c. rice

Combine soup, chili sauce, cranberry sauce, and lemon juice for the sauce to pour over the stuffed cabbage. Mix meat with salt, pepper, egg, onion, 1/4 cup rice and little water. Parboil cored cabbage (about 10 minutes) until soft and long enough to loosen leaves.

Place in colander, stuff and roll. Pour sauce over stuffed cabbage.

Simmer 1 hour, covered. Remove after 1 hour and place in oven at 350 degrees for approximately 3/4 hour without cover.

2 pounds of meat makes 12 pieces, 1 cabbage makes 28 pieces.

HARD but good:

Sweet and Sour Tomato Sauce:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 garlic cloves, smashed

1 1/2 quarts crushed tomatoes

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cabbage Rolls:

11/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 yellow onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons tomato paste

Splash dry red wine

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 pound ground beef

1 pound ground pork

1 large egg

1 1/2 cups steamed white rice

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 large heads green cabbage, about 3 pounds each

To make the sauce:

Coat a 3-quart saucepan with the oil and place over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and sugar; simmer, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.

Place a skillet over medium heat and coat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, until soft. Stir in the tomato paste, a splash of wine, parsley, and 1/2 cup of the prepared sweet and sour tomato sauce, mix to incorporate and then take it off the heat. Combine the ground meat in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, the cooked rice, and the sauteed onion mixture. Toss the filling together with your hands to combine, season with a generous amount of salt and pepper.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the large, damaged outer leaves from the cabbages and set aside. Cut out the cores of the cabbages with a sharp knife and carefully pull off all the rest of the leaves, keeping them whole and as undamaged as possible, (get rid of all the small leaves and use them for coleslaw or whatever.) Blanch the cabbage leaves in the pot of boiling water for 5 minutes, or until pliable. Run the leaves under cool water then lay them out so you can assess just how many blankets you have to wrap up the filling. Next, carefully cut out the center vein from the leaves so they will be easier to roll up. Take the reserved big outer leaves and lay them on the bottom of a casserole pan, let part of the leaves hang out the sides of the pan. This insulation will prevent the cabbage rolls from burning on the bottom when baked. Use all the good looking leaves to make the cabbage rolls. Put about 1/2 cup of the meat filling in the center of the cabbage and starting at what was the stem-end, fold the sides in and roll up the cabbage to enclose the filling. Place the cabbage rolls side by side in rows, seam-side down, in a casserole pan.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Pour the remaining sweet and sour tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls. Fold the hanging leaves over the top to enclose and keep the moisture in. Drizzle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Bake for 1 hour until the meat is cooked.

That it is better to plant a cabbage than a rose?

2011-11-18T22:02:00.004-08:00

Yes it is a debate topic. I was wondering if you could help me with some ideas that are against it. That is that it is better to plant a rose rather than a cabbage. Please help me. I have come up with some ideas with my group but they're pretty lame. Some ideas would be much appreciated. Thanx.

That it is better to plant a cabbage than a rose?
Well a rose is much more prettier than a cabbage; not to mention it smells better and will live for more than just one season. If it is taken care of properly, it can last for years. Also it will be alive much longer to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.

Hope it helps.

Have a good recipe that uses red cabbage?

2011-11-18T22:02:00.003-08:00

My garden left me with 6 heads of red cabbage. What recipes do you suggest?

Have a good recipe that uses red cabbage?
This is really, really good with pork.

Braised Red Cabbage and Apples

4 tbsp. bacon fat

2 tbsp. sugar

1 onion, chopped

2 lbs. red cabbage, shredded

2 peeled Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced

2 tbsp. cider vinegar

1/2 tsp. caraway seed

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/2 cup dry red wine

salt

Melt the bacon fat in a skillet, add the sugar and cook, stirring, for two minutes. Add the onion and cook slowly until lightly colored. Stir in the cabbage, apples, vinegar, caraway seeds, nutmeg, cayenne and red wine.

Cook over low heat, covered for 10 minutes, then add 1/2 cup water and cook, with cover askew, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes more. Add salt to taste. Serve hot or cold.
Reply:Although you can cook it, it's great raw in a salad. Just slice it up (don't do leaves). Little strips.
Reply:You could perhaps cook it German style? There are many twists to this, but I usually will shred the cabbage, then find me a couple of good cooking apples, like a Johnathan or other good tart red apple, shred it as well, and steam them together. Bit of salt/pepper, some butter. Also, try looking up German Red Cabbage for other ideas.
Reply:Red cabbage is a great stir fry veggie.
Reply:My Mother used to cook it this way...

RED CABBAGE:

1 large head red cabbage

2 Tablespoons bacon fat or oil

1/2 cup red wine

3 Tablespoons red currant jelly

1 teaspoon salt

dash of white pepper

pinch of powdered cloves

1 teaspoon sugar

Wash, shred and drain red cabbage. Heat bacon fat or oil in large pot. Add cabbage; heat 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Stir well. Continue to stir a few minutes until all flavors are absorbed. Cover; cook cabbage over low heat 25 minutes. Serve hot.

What is the name of the CAbbage Patch Doll from the 80's with a pacifier?

2011-11-18T22:02:00.002-08:00

I am looking for a gift for my sister and when we were kids she had a cabbage patch doll that was blond with short curly hair and a pink pacifier. Does anyone remember the name of this doll?

What is the name of the CAbbage Patch Doll from the 80's with a pacifier?
Each Cabbage Patch doll was unique in the 80's. Each doll was hand made and no two dolls had the exact same look (different color hair, eyes, whatever). I don't remember if they had names or not. I know you had to fill out "Adoption Papers" and send them in but I can't remember if the doll came with a name or you made it up.

Regardless, back in the day no CP doll had the same name or look.
Reply:Every doll had a different name and was unique in some way.
Reply:lot of those dolls had blonde hair they all had different names
Reply:I thought it was just the Preemies that came with pacifiers, but that's not the case. Maybe you can find it here ...

Reply:Here's the best recipe for the cabbage...it's time consuming though:

4-5 pounds of napa cabbage

a good deal of garlic

(powdered garlic may be used, but fresh, even out of a jar, is better)

powdered red chili peppers (available in oriental markets or the asian

section at the supermarket)

ginger (fresh preferred but powdered may be used--the ginger actually

helps

keep the heat from bothering your stomach)

1 cup of coarse kosher salt

day 1: cut up cabbage into pieces roughly 1 - 2 inches long and 1 - 2

inches

wide. layer in a crock with 1 cup of salt. cover with cold water. weight

down with a dish that has had a heavy object placed on it. mix with hand

or wooden spoon 2 times in a 24 hour period.

day 2: pour out salted water and wash cabbage by refilling with cold

water

and draining several times. layer half the cabbage with a mixture to be

described in a moment. then use the rest of the cabbage and the remainder

of the mixture. cut up 2 bunches of scallions in 1 inch pieces and add

to the cabbage mixture.

the fermenting mixture: 10 thin slices of fresh ginger minced or 2

tablespoons of powdered ginger, 3 entire heads of chopped garlic (or 8

tablespoons of powdered garlic), 6 tablespoons of powdered chili peppers.

place these ingredients in a 1 quart jar and fill half way with water.

shake to mix.

days 3-5 mix well with hand or spoon. it will get very smelly. the

koreans often put this mixture in the ground but if you have a back porch,

that's ok too. putting it outside is no problem since animals are too

smart to come near it!

day 6: put in glass jars and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days. don't shake the

jars. don't put the cap on too tightly. eat cold. this will keep for

several months.

if too spicy use less powdered chili peppers next time around. if not

spicy enough, use more chili peppers next time around.

Is it ok for a one year old boy to have a cabbage patch doll?

2011-11-18T22:02:00.000-08:00

My son's first birthday is coming up and I got him a cabbage patch doll because it looks just like him, and he loves to carry around a curious george doll that he has, so I think he'll like it. My husband, however, strongly objects to the idea of our little boy having a doll. Is it ok, or is it too girly?

Is it ok for a one year old boy to have a cabbage patch doll?
Yeah, it's perfectly fine. My boys each have a CPK that looks like them. When my oldest was younger he would pretend to nurse his stuffed animals and dolls - lol - now he is 4 and he understands that only mommies can nurse their babies - that daddies don't - but at 18 and 20 months - ya know - who cares. I personally thought it was adorable. Basically they stripped the clothes off of them as soon as they got them and my youngest was fascinated for a while because his had a pacifier and so he would take it in and out of the dolls mouth a million times - but even that got old after a while. Dolls are fine - little boys will be daddies someday - all these gender restrictions are just a little much if you ask me - my boys have a play kitchen and they play with that a lot!! I think it's great role playing for them. Stifling a child's creativity is the worse thing you can do - give them opportunities and access to try out lots of different things - and it will be better for them in the long run. :)
Reply:At one, he is associating his toy with Life. If the toy has eyes and ears and hair, it's an association to him. Just like a teddy bear has eyes and ears. I say yes, give it to him. I am sure you will find as with most kids, they tire of that "toy of the moment" very quickly. You can always save it for him for when he is an adult. Pack it away, even though he is a boy, that does not mean that having a cabbage patch is "girly", allow him to show "love" and affection towards his comfort toy.
Reply:It's ok, my brother grew up with dolls and he is as macho as every kid in the block.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Reply:Sure, why not? My son had a baby-doll when he was little, too. It's not like it will make them effeminate or something. Lots of little girls like to play with trucks and tractors and GI Joes and the like. It's no big deal.
Reply:I think it fine. He will develop his own personality. Some boys like dolls. I wouldn't buy him a pink barbie or anything. My brother had a cabbage patch doll and he is now married and expecting a baby next month. He will be just fine!
Reply:all 3 of my boys had a doll of ther eown and they are just fine and guess what .................none of them are GAY just let the boy have his doll sheeeeeeeeeeeesh
Reply:Well maybe because of the fact that it looks like him it wouldn't be that wierd if you keep it but for yourself. I wouldn't give it to him though because you might confuse him as he gets older. Just kep it in the box on a display or something since you think it looks like him!
Reply:I think giving him the doll would be fine. Children learn through playing. I'm sure he would love to pretned play with him. My son has a diego doll that he role plays with all the time (he's two so a little more ahead). The point is a doll for a boy is fine- it's not like you're getting him hair ribbons and a pink dress!
Reply:It is fine. Think of it this way, it will help teach him to be a good daddy, looking after a "baby"
Reply:There is nothing wrong with your son having a Cabbage Patch doll.He will learn that it is ok to play being a dad. Boys play with dolls but they are called action figures. My grandson played with Rescue Heroes.My nephews played with Star Wars characters. Don't stereotype your child with only "male toys" .I played with both dolls and dump trucksgrowing up.I consider myself well adjusted.Don't worry your son will be fine, boys are permittted to show a gentler side they are not just about bugs and dirt.
Reply:I have to agree with the previous poster who said keep it for yourself....I wouldn't want my boy playing with a doll. That's just weird I saw a boy the other day playing with a doll everyone one was making fun of him.
Reply:why does that threaten him? I don't get that. Would he let a girl play with trucks? If the boy is gay... it won't matter how you raise him... he will be gay... his toys won't change that... your husband doesn't understand that children are born who they are and show us who they are.... we can only help mold them into the best them that they already are.. not change or control them... or put shame on them for liking things that are 'for the opposite gender'.
Reply:i, personally, think it is just fine for a boy to have a doll. Think of dolls such as "my buddy" or "gi joe"....these were made for little boys to play with....as long as the doll isn't a barbie or excessively girly, i think its just fine.
Reply:Who cares if it's considered "girly". If your son likes it then let him carry it around! I remember my mom telling me about how when my brother was really young he used to carry around a cabbage patch doll and loved it. She said one time an old man was rude about it and told her not to let a boy carry it around..Pretty silly if you ask me - it doesn't matter, as long as he's happy =)
Reply:It is fine. Some boys have dolls, especially at that age. Why is it ok if it is a monkey, but not a doll that looks like him? Your husband needs to get over it.

YES IT IS OK IT DOES NOT HURT ANY THING ARE ANY ONE OK

Reply:my boys have three baby dolls. i just don't call them dolls. we call them babies they also have a kichen set and a washer, ironing board. they love it and i dont see anything wrong with it. In fact i think its good practice they may have to do all those things as adults.
Reply:as long as he can't pull off little buttons and swallow them, then that's fine! i played with legos and dolls when i was younger, and i'm sure your husband played with his GIJoe DOLLS as a kid. your son is not going to turn gay over a cabbage patch kid doll. your husband needs to stop that macho crap before his son feels bad about himself. there is no diffference between the doll and the curious george doll he's used to carrying. congrats on being open minded.
Reply:that would be exactly like him carring around a rescue hero.It will also teach him responsiblity.
Reply:its fine too buy boys dolls my son has one and then my girl plays with cars so its fine
Reply:My son got a doll for his first birthday too. Its a perfectly wonderful gift! They imitate what they see, and do. It will not make him a sissy and its not girly at all! Tell your hubby to get over it. I am sure he will get lots of "boy" stuff too. 1 years old is the perfect time for a doll. He will love it! Your great mom for thinking of and finding a doll that looks like him. My mom gave my son his little doll for his 1st birthday, it had the same coloring as him. He kept that doll for a long time too. And he is now 10 and ALL boy! Good luck! Have fun on his birthday he is only 1 once! :-)
Reply:It is great for a boy to have a doll. My brother had one when he was little and is a straight well adjusted man in college and doing allt he normal man things. Your husband should get over it and let your son be.
Reply:I have girls but I do have grandsons. I dont see any problem with boys carrying dolls around. Is there some kind of fear your husband has about your son having a doll. I dont believe it will make your son feminine because he carries a doll around anymore than it would make a little girl masculine to play with trucks.
Reply:It's ok if you don't mind what your son's sexuality will be when he grows up. The first 5 years of life are what determine the boy to become more interested in girl items and boy items.

basically saying that if he's exposed to girl toys he will have a tendency to be attracted to more girlie items, because that's what he was exposed to as a child.There's nothing wrong with that, unless you don't accept that.Then i suggest you buy him a more manly toy..Good luck with whatever you choose to do!

How to keep bugs off cabbage plants naturally?
I have a good sized garden, and usually have great luck with scattering lady-bugs and praying mantis around the area. They will eat insects that threaten your veggies. Snails and slug are easily taken care of by putting down a line of snail/slug killer around the parimiter of your garden. I use COREY'S brand. It's very effective, and safe to use.

Reply:It depends on the bug.

Cabbage moths (and fire ants) are repeled by molasses.

it is also a good fertilizer (1-0-5)

you can probably use it at 3 tablespoons per gallon of water

slugs are kept off by laying a band of wood ashes alongside of your plants %26lt;%26lt;don't put the ashes right over the root zone or else they might poison your plant. Rain will wash away the ashes sometimes, so then you need to lay down more. lay it down in lines that are 1.5 inches wide (7cm).

no ashes? then cups of beer will attract and drown slugs.

and dog food will give them something else to eat (you can come at night with a flashlight and see them there, if you see them%26gt; toss them)

Little flies can be caught by using sticky yellow cards. The flies are attracted to the color and then get stuck on the card. you might catch guys that you like tho. You can buy sticky stuff at plant supply places (called tanglefoot and such).

One of the best ways to deal with bugs is to leave some weeds for them to eat. just pull the weeds that are right in your plant's root zone, and then leave the weeds that are next to it. pull them when the plant gets bigger.

plus those other weeds can provide houses for the predator bugs.

You can be a predator too. You can lay down traps for the bugs and then come get them later. boards between your rows can be turned over and you will see slugs and earwigs hiding there in the day time. toss them to your chickens or out of the yard.

little tubes and sections of hose can attract earwigs and such too since they like hiding places.

slugs like orange peels to hide in too although citrus oils are a notorious bug replellent.

The best organic commercial bug/mold killer is "Neem".
Reply:Companion plant with French Marigolds and an Allium- ie: Scallions, Garlic. To make an effective everything spray (for all plants) I use saved scraps or fresh, Onion, Garlic and Hot Peppers. Puree together in food processor. Strain over fine sieve overnight. Next day pour liquid in container add water to make 1/2 gallon, and finally a teaspoon of soap. I pour in spray bottle and blast away. Weed at the same time as both need to be done regularly. Safe and effective.

For slugs- leave some beer in the can- place in garden- or if that doesn't appeal to you get some Diatamicious Earth and sprinkle around- organic, safe and inexpensive. Happy Gardening.
Reply:Usually planting marigolds of any color(usually yellow) is and effective way to attract insects away from vegetables.

How do you make fried cabbage???

2011-11-18T22:01:00.009-08:00

A friend of mine wants to make fried cabbage for New Years. Any suggestions on how to do it???

How do you make fried cabbage???
Stir-Fry Method:

Do not add any water; cabbage will add its own juices as it cooks.

Slice/cut cabbage to desired thickness; I like mine sliced, medium.

Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan/pot or Wok and heat on high for 1 minute.

Add cabbage and stir, until cabbage is coated with oil.

Stir for 1 minute on high, stirring constantly and quickly.

Sprinkle with desired amount of Sesame oil, stir to coat.

Do not add the 2 oils at the same time, as it will distort the individual flavors. They need to be layered.

Stir constantly and quickly until cabbage is cooked to desired stage of tenderness, but still slightly crunchy.

Do not over-cook as you will lose flavor and cabbage tends to turn pink when over cooked.

What to do with a whole head of cabbage?

2011-11-18T22:01:00.004-08:00

I don't eat eggs, so don't even mention mayo-coleslaw.

What the heck am I gonna do with a whole head of cabbage?

What to do with a whole head of cabbage?
Stuff the large leaves with rice and pine nuts and bake them in tomato sauce. The smaller leaves...hmmm...you could chop them up and add them to the stuffing.

PS: blanch the leaves first, otherwise they won't cook properly.
Reply:Thinly slice it into shreds and saute it in olive oil, salt and pepper.

So good!

You can also add onions which makes it even better. Just be sure to wait to salt it at the end.
Reply:They do make egg-less mayo for that cole slaw.

Reply:I dont eat cabbage that often. its colourless and fairly tasteless. I doubt that its that nutritious. I would much rather brocolli.
Reply:Make New England Boiled Dinner!

It normally has pieces of Corned Beef or SPAM in it, but you could make it without it.

Take

4-5 carrots

5-6 potatoes

2 onions

2 stalks celery

1 head of cabbage.

Chop cabbage and put in either a dutch Oven or a Large Pressure Cooker.

Cut Carrots,potatoes,onions,celery into bite-sized pieces. Put all in pot (Or Cooker). Pour 3 Cups water or bullion over veggies. In Pot, cook on low for 2 1/2-3 1/2 hours. (In pressure cooker follow directions from manufacturer for the carrots).

After cooking prepare like this: Spoon a mixture of all ingredients onto plate. Smoosh everything with a fork (So it is the consistency of a baked potato after you have smoosed it). Put butter or margarine and salt and pepper (To Taste) over all. Then spoon some of the juice out and pour over all.

I grew up eating this meal and I eat it all the time still! When you get to the bottom of the pot, the remaining juice and veggies makes a great soup.

Hope you like it! It sounds strange but it is yummy!
Reply:Cabbage is cheap and filling. Great for a low budget meal. I think russians or hungarians are known for using cabbage a lot. Use it in stews, stir fry, egg rolls, meatloaf. You can use the larger leaves as a wrap for ground beef and other items and bake. Sauerkraut is good if made the right way. Lots of stuff. Go to cdkitchen.com for lots of good recipes that use cabbage.
Reply:You could make borscht. Or chop it finely and use it instead of lettuce for a nice salad.

I don't eat mayo either and think cole slaw is disgusting, but I've had slaw at a Mexican restaurant which is just raw shredded cabbage, lime juice, cilantro and jalepenos (really finely chopped) which you can let sit in its own juices a while and it is so wonderful.
Reply:Take outer leaves off.

Stick them on your head.

Hit the stem with a fast blow of the palm of your hand.

Remove stem.

Chop it all up.

Stir fry it with oil, garlic, and soy sauce.

Easy.
Reply:Take a large pc. of foil and then take the cabbage and put bacon all over the top. Take a can of Cream of Mushroom soup and pour over that. Wrap the foil tightly around it and put it on the bbq grill. It is to die for.
Reply:Make lacto- fermented sauerkraut.....very healthy and full of beneficial bacteria. Just shred cabbage place in crock with a few Tsp. of sea salt. crush cabbage and salt mixture to release juices in cabbage. Add one cup hot water and cover. let sit out a few days before placing in a cool dry space or refridgerator for at least 2 weeks. check regularly for flavor or any mold. store in fridge and eat generously.

You could also stuff cabbage leaves with rice and tomatoes and seasonings..roll up like a burrito and bake with tomato sauce.

or try a simple veggie stirfry
Reply:lol, i'd steam it....yummy!
Reply:Mmmmm...I love cabbage in stir fry. Cabbage really cooks down and wilts so even if you have a lot of shredded cabbage, you'll end up with a much smaller dish. I've stir fried chicken, carrots and cabbage with teriyaki sauce served on hot rice. Delicious.
Reply:u wash it and chop it up into salad
Reply:I love sauteed cabbage. I saute it with garlic, onions and corned beef. Hmmm. It's very delicious.
Reply:buy some ground beef, sautee it with some garlic on onions, add some small diced potatoes and simmer untill cooked. You can add some spices as well. cut the cabbage in half and take out a few of the center leaves to make room, like a little nest. grease an oven proof pan. stuff the cabbage quarters with the meat and potatoes and sprinkle some cheese ontop then cover with a good tomato sauce! sprinkle again with more cheese and pop in the oven until cabbage is tender! Its yummy! good luck
Reply:Mmmm stir fry. Use it like lettuce. Cole slaw can be made with products other than mayo. Carrot-cabbage slaw is a good example. Make stuffed cabbage - use squash, or any mixture from your imagination. Sauerkraut. Kimchee.
Reply:Set the cabbage off the stem for a meal sized portion shred and cook.

Wrap well. I always use a market bag and keep in vegetable drawer in fridge.

Use that face as a base for future cuts, and work your way to the core.

Over time the cut edges will discolour so all you need to do cut the very ends off.

I can use one up in a couple of weeks, without eating it night after night.(I would have a strike on my hands if I did LoL)

You can also blanch and freeze.
Reply:Core it and make a dip bowl out of it. I do that when I make vegetable platters. Assorted veggies - yum.
Reply:Chop it up really fine. Deep fry it for a few seconds and remove. Sprinkle a little sugar on top and it will go crispy. You have just made that crispy seaweed stuff you get from the chinese take out that melts in the mouth. Its lush

How about corned beef and cabbage saute, would that taste good?

2011-11-18T22:01:00.003-08:00

i have a cabbage and a can of corned beef. i'm thinking of slices the cabbage into thin strips and sauteing it with trips of corned beef. is this a doeable combination, i mean do they go together? how do you think this recipe would taste? is it even worth the trouble to prep? what do you think?

How about corned beef and cabbage saute, would that taste good?
The corned beef will fall apart into tiny bits but the taste will be there. Add it last.
Reply:Yes, it should be tasty. Cook the beef first, then add the cabbage. Don't let the cabbage cook too long. You want it to be crispy. You could add onions, as well. It won't take too long at all.
Reply:They go together perfectly! enjoy !
Reply:It sounds really good. I would add onions (but then I add onions to everything I can). Making me hungry.
Reply:Of course it's gonna taste good!! Corned beef and cabbage go together like peanut butter and jelly........a time honored taste combination.....I'd slice and saute the cabbage over medium heat in some butter, salt and pepper (keep it simple, buddy!!) an then add the sliced corned beef on top of the cabbage (when the cabbage is 3/4 the way cooked to your liking) cover the pan, set the heat to low and steam the corned beef so that it doesn't fall apart......and serve!!! Sounds like a great combo, let us know how you like it/how it came out......Since you can get corned beef in the can and sauerkraut also, you might want to make those two some pantry staples that you can always have on hand to make a quick and healthy supper......Enjoy!!

Christopher
Reply:Great combination, its a classic. Don't cook them together though. Cook the corned beef alone and then cook the cabbage. To cook the cabbage bring a about two cups of water to a boil, add a little salt. Then add your sliced cabbage. Cook until tender. Cooked carrots, red potatoes and onions go great as sides. Also, a great sauce for this is a chive and horseradish sauce. The recipe is 1 container of chive and onion cream cheese, 1/4 cup milk and 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish. Enjoy!
Reply:The corned beef will disintegrate into a mush, but it should taste OK.
Reply:It's going to taste like Corn Beef HASH, instead of a traditional Corn Beef and Cabbage.

How much weight did you lose on the Cabbage Soup Diet?
Your question reminded me of the time I tried that diet. About 20 years ago, a friend of mine went on it, and the first week lost 4 pounds. I wanted to lose about 10 or 12. So I got the receipt and made this huge pot of the soup, Enough to last a week. I was determined to do this. After maybe 4 days, I simply could not bring myself to heat up another bowl of that soup. I couldn't stand the smell of cabbage for years. LOL So the only thing I can tell you is to start off with a small pot!

I started the 7 day cabbage soup diet today! Did it work for you and do you have suggestions to help survive the 7 days?

Has anyone ever been on the cabbage soup diet?
Yes! Some years ago I've made the classic old cabbage soup diet. It was hard to stick but I've lost some pounds. And then I've found two years ago the website below which contains a newer healthier diet version with many new cabbage soup recipe versions and really healthy diet plans. The newer, healthier diet plans include the important protein which helps your body to burn fat instead of muscles. With the help of this site I've lost 6 pounds in the first week, started a fitness program and on top was able to stop my sugar addiction. I've then switched to a low fat nutrition (also demonstrated on this site). Since then I prepare myself from time to time the cabbage soup whenever I think I've consumed too much the day before. On this site I've found also many healthy recipes based on cabbage in general and motivation tips. Bottom line: Since two years this cabbage soup diet site is a reliant and successful partner in my battle against my pounds. Altogether I've lost with this strategy 25 pounds in 2 years and made the 7 day cabbage soup diet plan 4 times (twice a year)
Reply:My parents did it years ago and really slimmed down. They just worked around the house like crazy to keep their minds off food. LOL.
Reply:Yes...didnt work for me sorry...

I'm asking because I'm suspecting a neighbor of mind of being a drug dealer and recently he's had people over and now his house and outside of it smells like cabbage.

What drug smells kind of like cabbage when you're cooking it up?
Maybe he likes cabbage stew?...crystal meth smells like cabbage when being cooked up btw.

If you see smoke or hear explosions coming out of your neighbours basement,he's definetly making crystal meth,call the police on him.
Reply:prob meth, but meth heads are not one to mess with. They feel no pain and are generally crazy when high. If you do decide to turn him in, do it at a friends house, not while you are at home.....big trouble........

Is it safe to eat raw cabbage?

2011-11-18T22:00:00.006-08:00

I mean, we wash lettuce but it is imposible to was every cabbage leaf. Is it safe to eat unwashed?

Is it safe to eat raw cabbage?
It is possible to wash cabbage. Just break up the leaves and soak them in a big bowl of cold clean water. Then take out the leaves and spill the water. Repeat the process until no more dirt appears at the bottom of the bowl.

And yes, it is safe to eat raw cabbage. A traditional salad in my culture is raw shredded cabbage dressed in olive oil, vinegar, and a little salt. It's delicious. Plus, Americans also eat raw cabbage-- what do you think coleslaw is? Raw cabbage smothered in mayo!
Reply:I do not wash when making Corned Beef and Cabbage I figure the long cook time will rectify all issues.I do wash it when making Cole Slaw even though it makes much more work for me.
Reply:You should always wash every vegetable before eating it unless it is grown in your own garden %26amp; you know there has been no pesticides used. Even then, you never know what insects have been hiding between the leaves so you need to make sure they are out of there.
Reply:yes. thats what cole slaw is. I wash everything that comes out the ground.
Reply:Yeah it should be safe if you know where it comes from and who handled it. If you trust the company you have nothing to worry about. I know that Dole had an issue with tainted vegetables from E Coil (e.g. Mexicans taking a dump while working in the fields).
Reply:Yes it is very good for you. Give it a soak then, chop or shred it then spin it in you lettuce spinner.

Slainté (to your health)
Reply:Wash it. TAKE YOUR TIME
Reply:Organic vegetables do not need to be washed as thoroughly as non-organic ones, because there are no pesticides on them. However, you must always wash the dirt off any vegetable before you eat it.

Raw cabbage is certainly fine to eat, but it can cause some stomach discomfort (gas or indigestion). Chew it very well and don't eat too much at a time (like a whole cabbage) if this is a problem for you.

And, red cabbage is the most delicious variety to eat raw, in my opinion.
Reply:it isn't gonna kill you or anything...but it's healthier to eat it washed...even if it's only like...a rinse or something...my family eats cabbage ALL the time!
Reply:Certainly, but definitely wash it first. Cabbage and lettuce you really need to wash well because dirt and perhaps fertilizers or pesticides can get lodged quite easily in the leaves.

It's not impossible to wash each cabbage leaf if it's important to you. Use a salad spinner.

**
Reply:Its perfectly safe, if you know where it comes from. I would not eat grocery store cabbage unwashed. Home garden, sure!
Reply:You cut it up and put it in a colander or a sieve, rinse thoroughly and then drain it. Hardly impossible. If you can wash lettuce, you can wash cabbage.

But, even if you don't wash the inner leaves, it's not going to kill you, as they are unlikely to be as affected by pesticides and contaminants as the outer leaves are. Wash them anyway though, just to be sure.
Reply:As cabbage leaves are tightly wrapped I just peel off a couple of the outside leaves and toss em. The rest I use as is.
Reply:No!!!

How can i keep my cabbage alive ?

2011-11-18T22:00:00.004-08:00

My cabbage is getting eaten alive by tiny flys how do i keep it a live

How can i keep my cabbage alive ?
If it is white flies, you can stake fly strips right next to your cabbage. The same you use for house flies. White flies are attracted to the yellow-sticky. I have this problem this years too with my cabbage, besides the flies strips if you have the time and can spray your plants in the morning and the eve with a mild soap mist.(a few drops of liquid dish soap in a spray bottle of water). This helps a great deal. I try to stay away from chemicals in my garden, but if the organic measures do not work you can use a spray or dust pesticide, "sevin" works well on chewing pests.You will need to read the time on the container in which you can harvest after use.

another alternative is a cover over your plant, depending on the size you can use milk jugs with the bottom cut off, I have had good luck with this, it is like a mini green house.

God Bless

Grandma
Reply:Don't eat it
Reply:Get some spray to kill the flies but one that is not harmful to the cabbage

Am i going to have the right results with the cabbage diet recipe,without using the lipton soup mix?

2011-11-18T22:00:00.001-08:00

i want to start the cabbage soup diet,but i cannot find the lipton soup mix here in uk where i live,so i am thinking to skip it!

Am i going to have the right results with the cabbage diet recipe,without using the lipton soup mix?
The Lipton soup mix is not critical to the cabbage soup diet. It just provides some flavoring. Leaving it out won't change the results unless you add slabs of cheese and a ton of noodles to make up for the missing soup mix.

Initially, you are going to experience excess gas, but after about three days, this should start to subside. If it doesn't, you can always add Beano to your first spoonful whenever you have the soup to take care of the unpleasant side effects.

Good luck with your diet!
Reply:There exist many cabbage sous recipes without Lipton which work, find on this page: http://www.successful-diet-cab... many examples. Report It

Reply:Don't bother, one word for you-GAS. Just watch what you eat and exercise-thats the best way.
Reply:I don't know if it matters. If you do the cabbage diet be sure to stay off of public transportation, you may want to skip work too. You will produce enough gas to run a small city.

How long until the milk dries up with the cabbage leaves and cold compresses?

2011-11-18T22:00:00.000-08:00

I was a surrogate mom, hence the reason I don't want my milk to come in, but I was wondering how long should I do the cabbage and cold compress method until I don't have to worry about it coming in anymore?

I've been doing this for 3 days now and the birth was 5 days ago. I'm sore, but it's starting to reside a bit today. I never leaked or tried to stimulate them since I've heard that it only makes it worse.

Also, would the bra size go back to what it was before or should I start looking into having to buy new ones again?

How long until the milk dries up with the cabbage leaves and cold compresses?
Hard to say. Since you probably didn't produce any real milk, just colostrum, I would think it would be pretty quick. I breastfed for a year, and it took about 4 weeks. I would think with you it would be super fast, like 1 or 2 weeks tops.

And I'll bet your bra size returns back to what it was before.
Reply:Never heard of the cabbage thing! I just used a good sports bra-soft, but kept everything bound up really good. Maybe just another week? Then leave the bra off for a few hours at a time to see how you feel. Don't let the shower beat down on you in that area; it's just too stimulating if you haven't figured that out. Is this a first pregnancy? This got easier with successive pregnancies.
Reply:Never heard of that. My doc gave me pills, and they did the trick quickly.

Cabbage????

2011-11-18T21:59:00.008-08:00

How does cabbage help a women's milk supply to dry up when she is done breastfeeding? I've read that a lot and was just wondering how it works? Thanks!

Cabbage????
Cabbage leaves placed on the breasts beneath the bra sucks up the milk and it helps to reduce or avoid breast feeding. read a question and answer by a doctor from www.dmt123.com -

Question - My daughter just had a baby ,how does she ease the pain in her breast ,from 'not'breast feeding?

Answers:

Cold cabbage leaves placed in her bra while she sleeps will draw any stored milk out and sooth like an anti inflamatry. You sought of end up smelling like boiled cabbage in the morning but the results are marvelous if kept up or atleast three to four days in a row. Most tablets that dry up milk that are available from your doctor have many side effects and the most common is nausea and vomiting and that is not what you need when you are looking after a new born. It is also effective for mother's having babies elder age. -
Reply:Cabbage leaves worked for me when i was interchanging bottle to breast for my son. My boobs were really sore and red, cant remember the exact name for it..starts with M i think? but i wore them for about 2 days, and the cool feel from the cabbage being in the fridge soothes it aswell. U just change them over when the cabbage becomes warm and limp. It works really well. Just remembered Mastitis is what its called!

Why are my cabbage rolls so hard?
Make sure when you bake them they have some type of liquid in them to absorb. When you make the meat mixture also add liquid to that., and crackers that will help to absorb the liquid and keep them moist.

(fbeef broth, tomato juice, this will help keep them moist.

(Also, parboil the cabbage first).
Reply:Thanks for the best answer. Also remember the meat mixture should be really loose and moist and the rice has to be cooked first or that will pull the moisture out of the meat. This is one of my favorite meals! Report It

How can I find the manufacturer of a french country antique cabbage rose quilt?

2011-11-18T21:59:00.005-08:00

I am looking for the manufacturer of a french chic antique cabbage rose or also known as english rose garden quilt. I have found this quilt on Ebay and Overstock .com. On Overstock .com catalog #10087542. I also have a model #GL-WB0726.

This is a beautiful quilt with an antique tea background. With a romantic French blend of colors including melon rose and pink roses, butter yellow, sage green, rose and a touch or French periwinkle blue. It has several prints consisting of roses, wildflowers, vintage roses, and cabbage roses along with a ticking stripe and garlands of flowers.

I want to find the manufacturer to inquire about purchasing fabric to make window treatments. According to the two vendors I have found to have this item there are none available.

Any help is appreciated,

Pat

How can I find the manufacturer of a french country antique cabbage rose quilt?
I'm sorry, I couldn't find the manufacturer for you. An alternative is to take samples of the fabric (say, the shams) with you to a quilt shop and try to find something similar, or at least complementary. That style is very similar to some popular fabrics currently available. Check out Hancocks of Paducah, an excellent online quilting and home decorating fabric store. Search or browse through the florals. One designer in particular to check out is Three Sisters by Moda fabrics. They have several lines that have a similar feel. Check out Faded Memories, the Three Sisters Favorite (especially Paris Flea Market), and Seaside Rose. These are just the ones available through Hancocks - also check out eBay for Moda Three Sisters, Gingham Rose, or ask your local quilt shop if they have any of these lines (or similar fabrics).

Good luck - it's a beautiful set.
Reply:the seller from ebay didn't say where they got the quilt?

Salt and pepper to taste

2 teaspoons minced garlic (divided)

1/2 pound smoked meats (pork shoulder, bacon, sausage or ribs), cut in 1- to 2-inch squares

Water

1 tablespoon flour

1 large can tomato juice

1 package kraut (from meat section)

Place a portion of beef mixture at the base of the cabbage leaf and roll up. Place each cabbage roll into a buttered or sprayed 9x12 dish with the seam of roll side down. Finish filling all leaves.

Pour the tomato juice over the rolls, leaving 1/2 inch from top for meat juices and mound on the kraut.

Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Serve with a dollop of sour cream to really add some great taste!

Why is my pre-bagged cabbage so sour?

2011-11-18T21:58:00.000-08:00

I bought a bag of Dole brand cabbage and carrots and the contents have tasted and smelled sour since the day I opened the container. I made eggrolls and froze them on the first two days of having the cabbage and found that the cabbage inside those is extremely sour. Is the cabbage unsafe to eat now? (it would be a shame to waste all of the other eggroll ingredients..ugh.)

Why is my pre-bagged cabbage so sour?
I have use the pre packaged cabbage many times, and it was never sour. I would toss the eggrolls out. why take a chance getting sick?
Reply:it is probably sour because it was either bought sour or its just that pre bagged cabbage isn't all that great. it would be a pain to throw them out but the best idea for you health.... next time maybe buy the fresh one, shop at a different store, or make sure to check the expiration date on the next bag of cabbage you buy.
Reply:if it smells similar to kraut.....it has started the fermentation process (which cabbage does)

if it is just sour tasting I wouldn't eat it it could of got some kind of contaminate...who knows now a days where our food comes from and how safe it is to eat.............but I would rather be safe than sorry.

now....if you have already eaten some and didn't get sick, then I would not worry..............but that's just my opinion
Reply:Perhaps it was spoiled. Always check the last sale date on the package. You should have taken it back to the store.

I want to make a salad with tomato, carrot, cabbage, a leek, and white beans. What spice should I use?

I want to make a salad with tomato, carrot, cabbage, a leek, and white beans. What spice should I use?
Sounds like a great soup! Yummy. Anyway, basil is my first choice for seasoning a salad. Enjoy.
Reply:Fresh thyme leaves - a healthy sprig(1/4 - 1/2 tsp of crumbled dry if you don't have fresh), finely minced garlic, with a slight drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

If you have time, I'd place the cooked white beans in a marinade of the the above mentioned spices, perhaps adding a pinch of sea salt -- then it can serve as a dressing for the salad as well. Either way should be quite tasty! Bon Apetit!
Reply:use all natural dressing italian is good
Reply:Use lime juice with cilantro and season with salt and fresh cracked pepper.
Reply:You don't need spice if you use a tasty salad dressing.
Reply:I suggest some garlic salt or parsley leaves.
Reply:Cumin goes well with carrots and should spice up the cabbage and the beans. Failing that you can't try something a bit different like Majoram, which is a little like oregano but lighter in flavour.

How To Cook Cornedbeef in a slow cooker with cabbage.?
Core and chop the cabbage. Put it in the crockpot and then sprinkle the seasoning packet from the corned beef on it. Rinse and pat dry the corned beef and set on top of the cabbage. Pour a can/bottle of your favorite beer (best) or a cup of water in the crockpot. Cook on low 6-8 hours. You can also add chopped onion, carrots, and potatoes if you want.

Reply:Ingredients

1 large package of corned beef brisket, with seasoning packet, either center or point cut.

1 head of cabbage

12 small organic red potatoes, cut in half

3 large organic carrots

1 container of flavored beef broth- Imagine now has low sodium.

Directions

Turn your slow cooker on low, place corned beef brisket inside, fattiest side down, cut slices longways across grain of meat.

Keep the juices from the bag your meat was in, what I do is fill with water, and pour on top of meat so you don't waste any of the juices, which impart the flavor you will get at the end.

Cut open the spice mixture, and pour on top of your meat and juices.

Cut your carrots in even sliced chunks, throw in along with potatoes and broth. If broth isn't enough to cover meat, add just enough water to cover.

Cook on low for 6-7 hours. During last half hour of cooking time is when I place the cabbage. I like to keep it in about medium sized pieces.

This is really simple and tasty. All you need is some bread to go with it.

Note_

If you like you could first cut off the fat ( before placing in slow cooker) I do like to keep a bit of fat on the meat myself, as during the time it's cooking in the slow cooker it will fall off and you can just scoop it right out. I think cooking with a bit of the fat still on is what gives the broth that buttery flavor. So I prefer that instead of cutting all the fat right off.

Hi , I think this is what your seeking

These look like cabbage roses on long stems with compact heads...much more compact than the ornamental cabbages/ kale
Reply:Any nursery or garden center.
Reply:decorative kale--i guess it depends where you are--here(toronto) it is sold on every corner --mostly in the fall, when it is planted as a late(cool) season bedding plant..there are many color/shape varieties..its not usually planted prominently in summer, as hot weather would make it 'bolt' shoot up to flowering stalks, which are not what its usually grown for--what you see is leaves, not flowers..

you should be able to find seed as well, from any vegetable /flower seed company, or local garden centre, and plant in spring to have mature plants by fall....

How can i keep rabbits from eating my cabbage plants?
First, start with simple wire fence around your garden. No vegetable garden should go unguarded.

If that is still not enough, use moth balls or a bunch of human hair and scattered it around. The scent will keep them away.

Sound also works if you want to kick it up a notch ( a bunch of banging pans on a string will scare them away for sure lol)

Is it okay to feed a pet Rabbit cabbage?

Is it okay to feed a pet Rabbit cabbage?
You should never give cabbage or lettuce to rabbits - lettuce and cabbage are both very bad for rabbits, can cause diarrhoea and bloat which can kill them -

http://au.geocities.com/leaswebsite/bunn...

Generally, before six months, bunnies' main diet should be hay, water, and lucerne pellets. Some say you can begin introducing vegetables at four months, some say not until six months of age. Most importantly, when you begin to introduce vegies, you must do it VERY slowly and gradually - begin with just one slice or one very small piece of your chosen vegie or fruit, and make sure it doesn't give her diarrhoea over the next 24 hours before giving any more. Please see my website, where I've written articles on this, at

http://au.geocities.com/leaswebsite/bunn...

And please check out my site at

http://au.geocities.com/leaswebsite/bunn...

for lists of safe and dangerous foods for bunnies older than six months of age, reproduced from the excellent "Rabbitlopaedia" by Meg Brown and Virginia Richardson.

Reply:cabbage, lettuce, carrots, any kind of veggies is good. you might also try getting some rabbit pellets from your local feed store.
Reply:why not
Reply:Yes but introduce it into the rabbits diet gradually or else it can cause an upset stomach. Avoid feeding too much though.
Reply:Yes, its perfectly fine to feed a rabbit any veggie, as long as its over 1 and a half years old. Trust me, i know
Reply:yes
Reply:Yeah, just don't feed them lettuce. Lettuce doesn't have any calories, vitimins, etc. and your rabbit will essentially starve to death.

Cabbage is ok, collard greens or mustard greens are very good. this time of year the fresh corn and squash and cucumbers are great and cheap. Anything fresh and crunchy.
Reply:cabbages are fine, they were fine for my rabbit.

mine wasnt fond of leeks though

cabbages are good because if you give them the whole cabbage they will nibble the hard bit and that grinds their teeth down a bit.

i also found turnips did the trick too.
Reply:Yes it's fine. If bunny doesn't like it bunny won't eat it.

Any veg is fine.

Reply:yes!!!!!!! If the bunny was in the wild it would be eating cabbage!!!!!! Listen i have owned 2 rabbits they loved it!! Any how happy 4th of july!!!!
Reply:yes you can feed them any veggies
Reply:Of course it's okay to feed your pet rabbit cabbage! They like all kinds of vegetables...lettuce, carrots, greens of any kind are good for rabbits. Never feed a rabbit apples, though, because the seeds are toxic. Also, never let them eat chocolate, either. Your bunny also needs pellet food too, though. You should have pellet food available every day, and "roughage" - such as grass, hay, straw, or cabbage every day too. Don't let food rot or go bad inside their cage. Make sure you keep it fresh. Also, rabbits get VERY bored. so they like things they can investigate and play with and chew on, so throw a coupla toilet paper cardboard tubes or paper towel tubes in his cage from time to time. They also like things that make noise...so get a clean used soda can and put a few rocks in it, and squeeze the opening shut and toss that in there!
Reply:Yes, cabbage is fine. Theres a myth going around that you shouldn't feed it to rabbits but its just an urban legend. Lettuce is also ok in small quantities; carrots, apple, pear, bramble leaves, sunflower leaves and flowers, pea stalks, leaves and pods...if you've got a garden you can grow stuff for your bun.
Reply:I dont advise it, why bother when they love fresh greens of all kinds that have much more nutrition and fewer worries than feeding cabbage which CAN cause gastric issues and worse if fed in large quantites.

Pet rabbits do well on a grean leafy diet (spinach, collards, romaine lettuce etc.

(iceberg lettuce has little to NO nutrional content so is a waste to give them when the "other" good nutr. greens are so readily avail.) along with good quality timothy hay, alfalfa pellets, carrots, %26amp; veggies, fruits like apple chunks, etc.

ALL should be fed in small quantities, but ALWAYS give the bunny free acess to its CLEAN water, pellets %26amp; hay.

hope that helps:)

Reply:rabbits can eat almost anything green in the garden. there are a few like carrots, sunflower seed, oats, whatever that they eat also, lettuce they love and celery too. i have been breeding rabbits for sometime now, and i have a garden to raise food for them.. they need at least 3 cups of greens a day plus fresh water. if you need further references get the book called rabbits for dummies. if you need further references just email me at littlechicky_82@yahoo.com.
Reply:Yes, I think they like greenage, that's what they would eat in the wild, all those yummy veggies in the garden. Pretty much all veggies are fine.

Leafy yummy wabbut foods.
Reply:Veggies are treats, so go easy on any of them. They are like candy for bunnies. I think cabbage is fine, but I might be concerned about gas or diarrhea. When trying a new treat, try a little and then watch the poo. It should look and feel almost exactly like the pellets. If it gets runny, stinky, soft or a funny color - no more of that treat. If it stays that way, take bunny to the doctor.
Reply:Yes, occasionally.Just try not to feed them it too much. I say about once a week or so ^^
Reply:It is fine to feed a rabbit cabbage, any veg is OK in small quantities. They will not eat it if they don't like it. Mind hates leeks but loves spring onion tops. I feed her rabbit mix too as too much greenery gives her the runs. Also a run out on grass is good for them as they can choose what to eat and chew up some roots which is good for their teeth.
Reply:Yes, as long as you feed them their rabbit food along with any of the vegetables. I use to raise rabbits and I would feed them all kinds of vegetables. I feed them things out of the garden like carrots tops, potato peelings, tomato's, and radishes . They grew and healthy. Water is the main thing for rabbits because if they don't have enough water then they will get a kidney infection and it will kill them.

I am making cabbage for the first time, how should I cook it?

2010-05-22T00:28:00.001-07:00

Quickly with very little water in the pan.Do not over cook,will spoil it and if you're making gravy,save the water for it.............

I am making cabbage for the first time, how should I cook it?
Make corned beef and cabbage. It's the best in a crock pot.

1 corned beef brisket

Several small red potatoes, unpeeled (about a dozen for 4 servings)

3 medium size onions

1 head cabbage

You will need a large crock pot for this. Put the potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot, pierced once with a fork. Put the corned beef on top of the potatoes along with the juices from the bag. Run water in the bag and measure one cup and add to the pot. Quarter 3 medium sized onions and put on top of the meat. Put lid on pot and cook on low 10 hours or a little more. Cut cabbage into about 6 wedges. Pour broth from crock pot over cabbage and steam until tender in a large frying pan. This meal is good served with Harvard Carrots or Corn on the Cob.
Reply:Cabbage Cooking Tips

Complimentary herbs and spices for cabbage include celery seed, mustard seed, nutmeg, savory, tarragon, garlic, caraway seed, dill weed, black pepper, and thyme. Good companion vegetables include potatoes, leeks, onions, and carrots. It pairs beautifully with corned beef, bacon, and sausage.

Use red or purple cabbage leaves to hold side dishes or salads on the plate for an attractive and colorful accent. Cabbage heads can be hollowed out and used as unique serving containers for cold dips and spreads. Red and purple ones make excellent centerpieces used as a container.

Many cooks prefer to trim away the bitter white core of the cabbage before shredding or cooking. If you need the leaves whole to stuff, you'll find it easier to separate them if you core the cabbage and plunge into boiling water for one minute.

Drain well, blot dry, and proceed to separate the leaves. Repeat as necessary the closer you get to the center of the cabbage.

For general cooking purposes, cabbage can be steamed, baked, braised, sauteed or stuffed, as well as eaten raw.
Reply:try finely shredded with a little shredded onion. melt some butter in a frying pan and lightly saute some small bacon bits and the onion. When that is done put the cabbage in with half a cup of water or stock and some seasoning. salt and black pepper and the juice of 1 lemon. Put a lid on it so that it steams. By the time its heated through it will be ready. It should take no more than 7 or 8 minutes cooking on a high heat.
Reply:with corned beef. fill pot with water till your brisket is covered. chop up a leak or onion, a bay leaf, and abottle of good heavy beer. simmer til temp is above 170. do not let it boil. remove brisket slice and bathe with bryne. place in oven at 170. then add to the bryne carrots, potoatos, and all the cabbage that will fit. delicious.
Reply:Steam it then add a cream sauce with lots of pepper. or My personal favorite Slice the head into 1 inch thick slices, remove the core section then saute in olive oil or butter. If you happen to have a head thats a bit loose, use a skewer to hold it together.
Reply:Chop it up and boil it. When done, add butter, a little salt and pepper and a little grated ginger. Delicious.
Reply:Shred it and steam it until it has softened, to your liking.
Reply:cut it up fine, put into boiling water, and add a vegetable stock cube it gives it a nice flavor.

Hope this helps
Reply:I love cabbage any way you can fix it. But here are 2 of my fav's.

Cut in wedges, place in a glass pan with a little water. Salt and pepper and butter (opt) then micro with a cover on it for 5 to 6 mins. Depending on how soft or firm you want it. Be careful when you pull the cover off not to steam yourself.

I also like to put it in a skillet with lots of butter and pepper and just sautee' it. This is great.
Reply:I like to shred mine pop in steamer, then when cooked I chop on board wth knife add butter and pepper then place in a pyrex dish in oven for 10 mins meduim heat does not dry cabbage but takes away excess water
Reply:For green or white cabbage (you didn`t say0, place the shredded leaves in a pan with a knob of butter and a couple of tbsp of water to prevent burning. Cover and cool over a medium heat until the leaves are tender, occasionally shaking the pan or shaking. Red cabbage is cooked quite differently and is commonly sauteed in oil or butter and then braised in a low oven for up to 1 and a half hours with apples, currants, onions, vinegar, wine, sugar and spices.
Reply:Depends what you're having with it. it's really nice stir-fried! Just put a little bit of oil in a pan and heat it up. chop the cabbage into little shreds and then put it into the pan. keep stirring so that it doesn't burn and just fry it for about 5 minutes and serve straight away. it should be nice and crunchy but hot when you serve it. that also keeps the nutrients in
Reply:Steam it with a little bit of water and oil, but don't let it get mushy. Then season it with a table spoon of olive oil and bacon bits. For a delightful color and added flaver, use a half packet of Goya Con Azafran, and enjoy!
Reply:I like it boiled the best but it is also good added to some fried with some potatoes.
Reply:Take off the outer leaves and throw away because they could be brown.

Break the rest up into small pieces. You can cut / chop also, but I read somewhere that it 'bruises' the leaves.

Put in a colander (with holes in) rinse in salt water. (this is to make sure the cabbage is clean from any insects)

Put on a pan salted water and bring to boil. Add cabbage. It does not take long.(10 minutes)

Cook until it is as tender as you prefer.

Drain and serve.

A lot of people use the cabbage water to make the gravy/sauce as it is supposed to contain nutrients from the leaves. (optional)

What is better for you to eat boiled cabbage or cooked potatoes?

2010-05-22T00:28:00.000-07:00

Cabbage has the least calories and more fiber. Potatoes have more calories and a higher glycemic index. Plus the added calories of butter, or whatever else you use on potatoes.

However, you have to beware of the Fart Factor in cabbage.

Take a couple of Bean-o before you eat it!

I would guess potatoes have more starch and calories than cabbage, but...with the skins have more vitamins than cabbage.
Reply:cabbage...although your love mates may bot agree
Reply:If I ate boiled cabbage, it wouldn't stay down YUCK! So for me, I'd go with cooked potatoes any day. They're loaded with potassium.

Though I wouldn't mind cabbage transformed into saurkraut. I love that with ribs and mashed potatoes.
Reply:I would say the potato skins are the best for you, nutrition wise. But if you eat potatoes they are higher in calories especially if you add butter, sour cream or deep fry them. I'd pick the cabbage, if you like them the same because the cabbage has less calories. If you have it raw, it's nice and crunchy, (I love crunchy food!) like in slaw with light dressing. Or steam it with some other veggies for some stir fry. Yummy. I think more people should eat more cabbage.
Reply:Cabbage, although potatoes taste better. MMMmmm.
Reply:Well, when you boil vegetables, the B vitamins get ruined. If you bake the potato and eat the skins, you will get a lot more vitamins.

However, corned beef and boiled cabbage and potatoes tastes darn good!!

Yikes, I had left over corned beef and cabbage from last nites dinner and decided to make a soup?

2010-05-22T00:27:00.001-07:00

from the leftovers, however it is pretty salty and I am not sure what to do to tame down the saltiness in it. I added tomato juice which helped some, but it still is overpowered with salt--any savvy cooks out there know how I can salvage this, I hate to waste it! need answers asap please

Yikes, I had left over corned beef and cabbage from last nites dinner and decided to make a soup?
A little brown sugar will tame the salt, but make sure to add a little and test it before adding any more otherwise it will be too sweet then!! YUM sounds good
Reply:I would add some rice to the soup, but nothing you can really do to get rid of the salt flavor other then keep diluting it with un salted beef stock/broth or water. But if you do that you may loose some of the flavor.

Hope that helps!

What's the best way to make cabbage edible ?

2010-05-22T00:26:00.003-07:00

Okay, I doubt this will be popular but this is how I make my cabbage and let me tell you, I always get rave reviews.

1 head cabbage

1/2 pound of bacon

1/2 stick butter

Lawry's Seasoning Salt

Sugar

Cut the bacon up in about 1" pieces. Fry them till crisp and just leave them along with the grease. Toss your butter in. Cut up your cabbage into some pieces. It cooks down of course so you don't have to worry about it being so big. Throw the cabbage in your frying pan. Oh, make sure it's a big frying pan. Sprinkle liberally with sugar and Lawry's seasoning salt. If you don't have it there, let me know and I will send you some because it's also good with a lot of other things including fried chicken seasoning. Stir to coat the cabbage with the grease and butter and seasoning. Let fry till tender.

I can assure you that I have made this for people who do not like cabbage and they loved it!!!!

You take some sausage (the best is Holmes smokehouse) brown it, and toss in sliced cabbage and 2 sliced onions, stir to coat in the oil, add 1/4 cup water, cover and cook until tender, add salt and pepper to taste. This makes most of the meal in one pot! I love easy cleanup. I know for a fact that it tastes great with turkey sausage as well! My grandma always make what she called pig in a blanket which was basically meatloaf rolled into cabbage leaves and simmered in V-8 Juice. You would take the leftover cabbage and float it in the v-8 till tender. Super Yummy.

1 head of cabbage sliced into thin slices

1 large can of tomato sauce

1 large onion, diced

3 carrots, chopped

4 to 5 stalks celery with ribs, chopped

1 jar saurkraut with juice

water or veg stock

add the first 6 ingriedients to a large pot, cover with enough water or stock to cover over an inch, boil and then simmer for an hour or 2...the longer the better

OR:

1 head cabbage

1 large onion diced

1 stick real butter

mushrooms, as many as you want

Heat oil and butter, add onions, saute for a few minutes, add cabbage and salt and pepper, cover and cook on low heat for 2 hours, stirring often.
Reply:The best way to cook cabbae is to pan fry it with bacon and garlic,....you simply fry it "in a pan" in olive oil, just enough to cover the pan bottom about one centimenter. chop the cabbae up and dump it in the pan,...add some garlic powder or diced garlic, a little salt, some black pepper,...serve it with chicken or pheasant, some mashed potatos and cornbread,.....you gotta have cornbread and a good smokey white wine,......perhaps a "pinot grigio" would do well.
Reply:Sautee in real butter and a lot of fresh ground black pepper.
Reply:My favorite way to use cabbage is to shred it, add peeled chunks of potatoes, a little olive oil, salt %26amp; pepper.......and cook it until tender. Mmmmm....it's sooooo good. Even better reheated the next day. It's also good if you sprinkle some parmesan cheese on it.

(You could also add cooked ham to it, but I don't.)

Reply:Look up the cabbage soup diet. They have a soup made with a head of cabbage that my dad used to make that you can practically have as much as you want for nothing that you can season as spicey or mild or garlic as you like. It's just basic veggies you've got around, canned tomatoes, peeled, and cabbage, simmered. It's delicious. Here's one variation I pulled-- I never used the v8 juice, that would just seem too acidic.

Cabbage Soup Recipe

6 large green onions

2 green peppers

1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole, peeled)

3 Carrots

1 Container (10 oz. or so) Mushrooms

1 bunch of celery

half a head of cabbage, or small cabbage

1 package Lipton onion soup mix (optional)

1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional)

1 48oz can V8 juice (optional)

Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley,basil, oregeno, thyme, sage, curry, garlic powder, etc.

Directions:

Slice green onions, put in a pot and start to saute with cooking spray.

Cut green pepper stem end off and cut in half, take the seeds and membrane out. Cut the green-pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot.

Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot.

Clean carrots, cut into bite size pieces, and add to pot.

Slice mushrooms into thick slices, add to pot.

If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now.

You can use beef or chicken bouillon cubes for seasonings. These have all the salt and flavors you will need.

Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook for a long time - two hours works well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

You can add any other veggies you like too. I slice up some zucchinii and squash, sometimes some some new potatoes for hardyness or add more or less of any other veggies, but they do become part of the integral 'flavor'. Enjoy!
Reply:Boil it and put spices on it.

Should i start the cabbage soup?
it's really not a good idea to do a faddy diet like that. It's hard t stick to cos cabbage soup all the time is so awful, it does some funny stuff to your digestion, and it doesn't taste that good.

you'd me much better of having a balanced, new approach to the way you eat and try to reduce fats and sugars. You shouldn't think in terms of 'diet' as a short term solution to weight loss - you need to re-evaluate the way you eat as a lifestyle choice to maintain a healthy body and healthy weight.

These sound like Runza'a they are a fast food favorite in the Midwest. You can do a search for Runza recipe's on line and see what comes up. I use a small head of cabbage two about a pound and a half of hamburger meat. once the hamburger is browned I drain it off then add the chopped cabbage and cook it down I also add salt and pepper to taste. For the bread dough I buy frozen bread dough and thaw it. Let it rise a little and then cut into sections and roll out then fill with the meat cabbage mixture. You can also add your favorite flavor of cheese. I wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze them then bake one when ever I want one. I bake them frozen @ 350 degrees for about a half hour, thawed they only take about 15 minutes.

This is one of the best "regular" recipes for this that I found....

Stuffed Cabbage

Serves 8

The key to cooking and enjoying cabbage is to give the vegetable a light steaming; this will be sufficient to bring out its brilliant color and preserve its nutritional content.

2 quarts water

1 large green cabbage(about 2 1/2 pounds)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 large onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

2 cups cooked rice

8 ounces ground beef

8 ounces ground pork

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes

1 medium green pepper, grated

2 celery stalks with leaves, finely chopped

4 cups tomato purée

1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and chopped

1/2 cup sour cream, plus more for garnish

1. Using a paring knife, remove center core of cabbage. In a large nonreactive stockpot, bring 2 quarts water to a boil. Add cabbage and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until outer leaves are bright green and tender. Lift cabbage from water, and remove outer leaves. Return cabbage to boiling water, and repeat brief cooking and removal of leaves until all leaves are cooked. Reserve 2 cups cabbage cooking water. Trim thick center vein from bottom of each leaf. Reserve four large outer leaves to line bottom of pan.

2. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until golden and tender, about 8 minutes. In a large bowl, combine onion mixture, rice, beef, pork, salt, pepper, parsley flakes, green pepper, and celery. Stir to combine.

3. Add about 1/3 cup rice filling to one cabbage leaf. Fold sides of cabbage over filling, and, starting with the stem end, roll the cabbage up. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.

4. Line a 5-quart Dutch oven with reserved outside leaves. Transfer stuffed cabbage leaves to Dutch oven.

5. In a large bowl, combine tomato purée and the reserved 2 cups of cabbage cooking water. Pour some of the tomato sauce over stuffed cabbage leaves to almost cover them. Sprinkle apple over top of cabbage leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer, adding additional tomato sauce as needed, for 1 hour or until cabbage is very tender.

6. Place sour cream in a small bowl, and ladle in about 3/4 cup of tomato sauce from the cooked stuffed cabbage rolls. Whisk to combine. Add sour cream mixture back to Dutch oven, and stir to combine. Serve with additional sour cream.

This is just lush and anyone would be pleased with you when they eat it. Good luck.

Is it okay to feed my rabbit cabbage?

2010-05-22T00:26:00.000-07:00

I used to feed my bunny pellets and timothy hay but, lately it's just been pellets and cabbage leaves from my garden. She seems to love the cabbage and her stool doesn't look any different.

Is this okay?

Is it okay to feed my rabbit cabbage?
Your pet rabbit needs a limited pellet diet ....but it needs hay also! Unlimited amount of hay to help aid in digestion. Of course veggies are good too!! A good site to go to is

www.pet care tips.net

At the top of page, click small %26amp; exotic pets. Then scroll down a bit and you'll find "All about pet %26amp; wild rabbits"...click on it and there's a whole list on rabbit care... what they can eat,medications, grooming etc.
Reply:Yes, cabbage is perfectly fine to feed a rabbit. However, if you DO decide to feed her lettuce, make sure it is not iceburg lettuce, as that is not good for the rabbit. Although, feeding the timothy hay is very good for the rabbit's intestinal track, as they have an enlarged cecum that requires foraging and the consumption of rough materials. However, because of this enlarged cecum, colic is a pressing matter (as it is with horses that have the same intestinal track) and therefore any diet change should be done as a transition and not too abruptly, or it may shock the system.
Reply:cabbage is excelent for a rabbit it is highly recommended for rabbits along with chinese veges as long as its not lettuce because that can give it diarreohh and eventually it will die
Reply:cabbage is just as good for it as any other rabbit fod.
Reply:yes! rabbits love vegetables* =]
Reply:yes i have a rabbit as well. Cabbage is fine but if you have a choice lettuce would be better. Cabbage tends to cause gas in animals and humans and will most likely give your rabbit diarrhea. Actually any greens you give your rabbit will most likely give them diarrhea, but it is good to switch up their diet every now and then. But who knows, rabbits are different like people, some stomaches have no problem, while others do. I would feed him a little at first to see if any non solid feces are a result:)

CREAMY CABBAGE CASSEROLE

2-3 pounds ground beef

1 large cabbage

1 large onion

2 small cans mushroom soup

2 small cans tomato soup

Brown ground beef and onion, place half on bottom of casserole dish and top with half of the cabbage (cut in large pieces with leaves separated). Pour one can of mushroom and one can of tomato soup on top of cabbage, and repeat all three layers in the same order. Cover and bake on 300°F for around 3 hours, or until cabbage is completely cooked (will be much smaller once it's cooked).

This makes the most delicious casserole which can be served with potato or rice. Tastes sort-of like cabbage rolls.
Reply:You can take some cabbage, dice it in long strips, pour some olive oil in a deep pan, and golden brown it in the pan, stirring occasionally.
Reply:Put a little Olive Oil in a frying pan (a tablespoon or 2 will do) let it heat up a bit, cut the cabbage into wedges, sprinkle with salt and pepper, put them in the pan, let them fry for a few minutes on each side, just till they start to brown a little bit -- Delicious
Reply:all you do is put it in the pan on medium heat and let it cook for about an hour and a half sometimes 2 ...until it get real tender ...you can also throw some chunks of bacon or "salt pork" in it to give it some flavoring ..really good.... hamhocks work as a flavoring meat too

How do i cook corned beef and cabbage NOT in the crock pot? How long and at what temp. to make tender?

2010-05-22T00:25:00.001-07:00

I can't find my crock pot lid and never made it any other way...

How do i cook corned beef and cabbage NOT in the crock pot? How long and at what temp. to make tender?
The key to this is to cook it at a low temperature for a long period of time, similar to your crock pot but in the over. Use plenty of water, keep it moist. Cook at 250 degrees for 5 hours. Add your vegetables and then cook for an additional hour to and hour and a half until veges are tender. Meat should fork apart. I have never made mine in the crock pot. I have even cooked it longer. Mmmm...I'm thinking it should be on my menu soon.
Reply:use your crock pot and make an tin foil lid. i did it that way when i broke my lid. no clue how i managed that!

i just poked a few small holes to let some steam out.
Reply:INGREDIENTS:

1-3/4 pounds onions, divided use

2-1/2 pounds carrots, divided use

6 pounds corned beef brisket or round, spiced or unspiced

1 cup malt vinegar

6 ounces Irish stout beer

1 tablespoon mustard seed

1 tablespoon coriander seed

1/2 tablespoon black peppercorns

1/2 tablespoon dill seed

1/2 tablespoon whole allspice

2 bay leaves

3 pounds cabbage, rinsed

2-1/2 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed

1/2 cup coarse grain mustard, optional

1/2 cup Dijon mustard, optional

PREPARATION:

You'll need a heavy-duty pot large enough to hold 4 gallons for this large quantity recipe.

Divide onions and carrots and chop enough to fill 1 cup of each, reserving the rest.

Place the corned beef in the stockpot. Add the chopped onions, carrots, malt vinegar, stout beer, mustard seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, dill seeds, whole allspice, and bay leaves. Add enough water to cover the corned beef, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer about 3 hours until meat is fork-tender.

While the corned beef is cooking, cut the reserved onions into eight wedges and the carrots into 2-inch chunks. (Larger carrots should be halved first.) Slice each head of cabbage into 8 wedges.

Add onions, carrots and red potatoes to the cooked corned beef, with the cabbage on top. Cover and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes, until potatoes and cabbage are fork-tender.

To serve, cut corned beef against the grain into thin slices and accompany with the cooked vegetables. Dijon mustard and/or coarse-grained mustard complement the corned beef as optional condiments.

Yield: 12 hearty servings
Reply:I simmer my corned beef fully covered in water for about 2 hours in a dutch oven. Use the packet of spices that comes with the brisket Then put the meat on a board or a plate and drain the pan. It'll probably be a little "skummy" from the brine - so I wipe out the pan somewhat. Put your wedges of cabbage, carrots and potatoes in the empty pan, top with the corned beef brisket and add about 1/2 inch of water. Put it in a 325 to 350 F oven for about 1 1/2 hours. It always comes out tender and delicious.

Enjoy!

Can anyone advise on the best way of removing the outer cabbage leaves for making cabbage rolls.?

2010-05-22T00:25:00.000-07:00

I have tried the hot water approach as well as the freezing method. Is there a better and easier way than either of these?

Can anyone advise on the best way of removing the outer cabbage leaves for making cabbage rolls.?
drop in boiling water for a few and they come right off.....then when they start getting hard to remove again drop back in boiling water....this make them even easier to stuff as they are flexible....and soft...
Reply:After removing the outer leaves, core the cabbage by cutting around the stem at an angle with a paring knife. Remove as much of the tough white flesh of the core as possible without damaging the inner leaves.

Place the whole cabbage, stem side down, into a pot of gently boiling salted water.

As the outer leaves loosen, pull them away from the head and rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking. You may need a paring knife to cut the base of the inner leaves off what's left of the core. Give the inner leaves a little more time to soften in the pot before rinsing them. You may want to use a rubber glove; the leaves and water will be very hot. Continue this process until you have separated all but the smallest leaves; it should take about 15 minutes.

When the leaves are cooled, cut away the ridged part of the rib running down the center of the leaf, to make it roughly the same thickness as the rest of the leaf. This will make the leaf less rigid and easier to stuff. (Incidentally, the savoy cabbage is preferable to green cabbage precisely because its leaves are thinner, flatter, and less rigid).
Reply:The easiest way I've ever found to loosen those outer leaves is to pick up the head of cabbage with the core end facing your toes. . .

. . .and then drop it from about four feet off the ground, straight down. The impact breaks the core loose from the rest of the head, and then stripping the outer leaves is a lot easier.

I know, I know -- I thought it was crazy, too, when my friend told me her secret. But crazy or not, it works! :-)
Reply:My mom would always use the hot water approach as well. Those cabbage leaves need to be partially cooked in order to roll them. I remember hearing about a microwave oven method, but I'm not sure how it's done. Hopefully someone out there has done this and can let you know.
Reply:I don't know but can i please have some? my mom used to make those yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrsssssss... ago and i would love to know how to get her to make me some now.

Why do we eat Black eyed pea's and Cabbage on New years?

2010-05-22T00:24:00.003-07:00

Its tradition for my family to eat black-eyed pea's and cabbage on New Years, they always said it represents wealth and health for the new year. Where did this tradition come from?

Why do we eat Black eyed pea's and Cabbage on New years?
The Black-eyed peas respresent HOPE for a better tomorrow because a depressed and deprived people could only receive what came from the fields and to get these peas meant finally having a taste of something good - even if it is small. The peas mean good luck/good fortune for the coming year.

The cabbage represents greater prosperity, financial increase. More green (Cabbage) for the coming year.

Basically, it came forth from the days of slavery and has become a tradition that uplifts, inspires and reminds us to look forward instead of looking back. The past is gone so we must leave it behind and keep our eyes and our hearts on the blessings that tomorrow may bring. HOPE must always remain in the forecast! Happy New Year.

This has been a tradition in my family also. It seems to be especially important to those of us who came from the Southern states.

Take care and God Bless!
Reply:the fiber sweeps the colon

the gas blasts it out for a fresh start
Reply:Many parts of the U.S. celebrate the new year by consuming black-eyed peas. These legumes are typically accompanied by either hog jowls or ham. Black-eyed peas and other legumes have been considered good luck in many cultures. Cabbage is another "good luck" vegetable that is consumed on New Year's Day by many. Cabbage leaves are also considered a sign of prosperity, being representative of paper currency. In some regions, rice is a lucky food that is eaten on New Year's Day.
Reply:I never knew anyone to eat that, but I new a girl who ate grapes on new years eve.
Reply:This comes from the Southern part of the United States. Eating black-eyed peas was to bring luck to the person for the new year.

Eating greens, such as cabbage, kale, and spinach, also came from the south., and it denoted money.

Cornbread eaten in the south meant wealth for the family.

Some of these traditions followed the people as they moved from the South to the North, or to other places.

My folks always had pork, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, which came from their birth land of Germany. We always ate the traditional ways of my German ancestors, and when I moved to The Netherlands, I saw the influence from the German region reflected also in the Netherlands. I felt right at home!
Reply:i don't know!!!

but......

it is a sign for good luck!!!
Reply:I've always been told that it's from the southern slaves during the Civil War. Union troops, would strip the countryside of all crops and destroy whatever they couldn't carry away. At that time, Northerners considered "field peas" only for animal feed, and as a result didn't steal or destroy the black eyed peas. Many Southerners survived because of this and considered it a good luck mistake. So now we eat them on New Years day for luck for that year. Some people even put a dime in the pot and whoever gets the dime will have wealth that year....I've never gone THAT far though lol
Reply:Because if you start the year out with the nastiest meal you can think of, everything else you eat for the rest of the year will taste a little bit better in comparison.
Reply:So everyone can poot their own natural noisemaker to ring in the new year.
Reply:ugh, my family does that too, bout to go over there now.... ick. hopefully there'll be cheesecake at least. lol.

i think it's a southern tradition, but i'm not sure.

Reply:I believe it came from some stupid hillbilly tradition....I could be wrong tho....just my opinion....
Reply:TRADITIONAL????

WHERE?

Well,....must a' been just your family and a few others.

....nobody here has ever heard about it.

Why would anything "that" plain, and meatless,.... that is eaten primarily by the poor or lower working class, ever represent WEALTH ?

Healthy from germs and viruses perhaps, because nobody would get near ya' ....from all the smelly FARTS.

What do you do to cabbage plants to make the cabbage form a head?

2010-05-22T00:24:00.002-07:00

Cabbage is a cool weather plant. If your cabbage has not formed heads by now, it is probably because it is starting to go to seed. If you look inside the leaves on one of your plants, you will see the flowers starting to form. Next year you need to start your cabbage earlier (in the fall if you don't get snow!).

Good Luck!!

What do you do to cabbage plants to make the cabbage form a head?
the heads form on their own as the plant matures
Reply:Cabbage is a cold weather plant and will be stunted if planted in the heat of spring and summer.

Your best answer will come from the Master Gardener at your County Extension Agency. Look in the phone book under state agricultural agencies.

Can I use 888 fertilizer on cabbage & lettuce plants & do I just sprinkle on top of the dirt or work it in?

2010-05-22T00:24:00.000-07:00

Its probably best to work it into the root zone. The general purpose fertilizer you are using won't burn the roots and some of the minerals in fertilizer move through the soil very slowly. I generally add this type when I am tilling the garden and it mixes it through the soil. For plants that are already established, just work it in a little around the plant.

How do I cook bangus with cabbage and ginger?
Stuffed Milk Fish ( Rellenong Bangus )

1 large sized bangus ( milkfish )

1 onion, chopped finely

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 small sized carrot, small cubes

1 box raisins ( optional )

2 tomatoes, chopped

1 raw egg, large

1 tsp. Vetsin ( monosodium glutamate )

1 tsp. Salt

½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 green bell pepper, chopped finely

2 tbsp. Flour

cooking oil for frying

Scrape fish scales. Clean. Gently pound fish to loosen meat from the skin. Use flat side of a knife in pounding.

Break the big bone at the nape and on the tail. Insert the end of the handle of an aluminum kitchen turner (sandok) through the fish neck.

Gently scrape down the handle between the meat and the skin. Scrape down to the tail, going around and on the other side of the fish.

If you feel the meat is entirely separated from the skin, remove the handle, squeeze and push out meat (with the big bone), starting from the tail going out through the head. This way, you will be able to push out the whole meat without cutting an opening on the skin.

Marinate skin and head of fish with soy sauce and calamansi ( lime ) juice. Set aside. Boil fish meat in a little water. Drain. Pick out bones. Flake meat.

Saute garlic until brown. Add onion and tomatoes. Stir in fish meat, carrot, and pepper. Season with salt, vetsin, ground pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Add raisins.

Transfer cooked mixture to a plate. Cook, then, add raw egg and flour. Fill in mixture in bangus skin. Wrap bangus in wilted banana leaves or in aluminum foil. Fry. Cool before slicing.

Garnish with sliced fresh tomato, spring onions or parsley. Serve with catsup.

How do make corned beef and cabbage?
If you have a crockpot use it and cook the bisket according to package directions, but a half hour before cooking time put in a medium sliced cabbage, I always add a half tps.of allspice.

place four halved medium potatoes on top or use 6 small baby potatoes and acouple slivers of green bell pepper and

a half cup of pearl onions,plus a pinch of red crushed peppers

optional( I like a little spice!) If you don't have a crock pot you can use any large heavy pot, but word of caution DO NOT BOIL your bisket, put heat on low cover and simmer to tender do not put in too much water just enough to cover and simmer.

then do as you would with the crock pot with the veggies.

Cabbage worms? How do I get rid of em?

I just started a garden this year and my poor cabbage and broccoli are being eaten alive by cabbage worms and ive noticed some wasps/hornets eating from my garden as well! How do I get rid of them without using chemicals?

Cabbage worms? How do I get rid of em?
Mix 1/4 cup of dish washing detergent with 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and one gallon of water and spray on the plants, be sure and get the undersides of the leaves. This mix is okay for food plants too, just rinse your vegetables before eating.
Reply:I have used a powder before on the plants to keep the cabbage worms off, but have not done that in several years as the powder was more of a danger than the worms were to human consumption (I cannot remember what it was called, either, some form of powdered moth and caterpillar repellant). KEEP the bees though. They actually eat the butterflies that make the worms. You have probably found just the wings of them in the garden, the wasps and bees eat the bodies. If anything, try to get MORE bees in your garden.
Reply:Sprinkle flour on the cabbage when it is wet from the dew, after it rains, etc.

When they climb up on the plant from where they've been hiding, they'll become coated with flour, get pasted, suffocate %26amp; fall off.

I've grown cabbage %26amp; this worked for me. Also, when you see any pest eggs laid on the top of the cabbage, you can pour some sour milk on the cabbage head to kill pests before they emerge.

Here's a chart including flour as as pesticide for cabbage loopers.

http://www.altelco.net/~myone/organic_in...

Some other controls: Bacillus thuringiensis, Trichogramma wasps, Green lacewing. hot pepper wax. pyrethrum/diatomaceous earth blend. Use resistant varieties. Neem Oil (100% Pure), .

"Cabbage worms are most effectively controlled by using Bacillus thuringiensis, a non- toxic bacterial spray sold as Dipel and Thuricide."

http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/greenline/...

Maybe those wasp are really helping out: "Wasps and hornets are among the most valuable insects on our property if we are looking for help in controlling pest insects. Wasps prey on large quantities of harmful caterpillars and flies which they feed to their young. If you have wasps and hornets living someplace on your property, you are unlikely to have any serious fly problems" http://www.yardener.com/WaspsandHornets....

I prefer to grow red cabbage

Is cabbage easy to grow in Canadian summer climate conditions?
Grow then beofre it warms right up

according to wikipedia: Cabbage can be started indoors or sowed directly. Like all brassicae, cabbage is a cool season crop, so early and late plantings do better than those maturing in the heat of the summer.
Reply:yes cabbage will grow well in canada unless you are to far north. if you have a celler it will keep well for months, cabbage is a heavy feeder and needs lot of good fertlizer.

Can anyone tell me the name of a recipie with cabbage and I think chopped ham?
are you sure it's not a Golabki? It is Polish Stuffed Cabbage

1-2 head cabbage

2 slices stale bread

3/4 lb ground beef or pork

1 onion, minced

2 tablespoons butter

1 egg

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 cup beef broth

Sauce

3 tablespoons flour

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons tomato paste

salt

pepper

sugar

paprika

Boil cabbage long enough that leaves separate without tearing.

Select 10 to 12 of the largest leaves and trim off midribs so leaves become easy to roll.

Soak bread in water and squeeze out.

Combine with meat and mix thouroughly.

Cook onion in butter until golden.

Add with egg and salt and pepper to meat mixture.

Divide into as many portions as there are cabbage leaves and spread evenly on leaves.

Roll firmly, tucking edges so stuffing will not escape.

If there are not enough large leaves, use 2 small leaves.

Slice some of the remaining cabbage and place in the bottom of a large pot.

Arrange cabbage rolls tightly on top and add broth.

Bring to a boil, cover and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.

Arrange on hot platter, pour sauce over top and serve with hot boiled potatoes.

Sauce: Make a roux with the flour and butter.

Add tomato paste and broth from the stuffed cabbage and stir until smooth and bubbly.

Add salt, pepper, sugar and paprika to taste and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Looking for the best Ukrainian stuffed cabbage recipe.?
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Tablespoons freshly rendered lard or oil

3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

1 cup Anaheim green peppers, seeded and finely chopped or cubanelle peppers, chopped but not seeded

1/2 cup long-grain rice

2 1/2 cups chicken stock

1 tablespoon paprika

Salt %26amp; freshly ground black pepper

1 head green cabbage

1 (24 ounce) jar sauerkraut, drained (about 3 cups)

1 lb ground pork

1 egg

60 mins Main Dish

Saute the garlic, onion, and peppers in the lard until tender. Add the rice, 1 cup of the chicken stock, the paprika, and salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.

Core the cabbage and carefully pull the leaves off, keeping them as whole as possible. Blanch the leaves in a large pot of salted water until pliable, about 2 minutes; drain and allow to cool. This shold be done in a couple of batches. Cut out the tough white base of each leaf.

In a Dutch oven spread two cups of the drained sauerkraut in the bottom of the pot; set aside.

In a large bowl combine the ground pork with the cooled rice mixture, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix very well. Spread out a cabbage leaf on the countertop and roll up into a cylinder, folding in the sides as you roll. Continue with the rest of the leaves; it may be necessary to piece together a couple of leaves to make a nice roll.
Reply:Parboil a head of cabbage and seperate the leaves (you'll have to slice off 1/2 of the stem part--thining it out)

Mix

2 lbs ground round or chuck

4 eggs

1 chopped spanish onion

2 cups half-cooked full grain rice

1 small can of tomato paste

plenty of salt %26amp; pepper

(you can add some chopped green pepper if you like it, it adds good flavor)

Mix the meat mixture with your hands, take about a golf ball size of the meat and wrap in each of the cabbage leaves, putting the rolls into a large dutch oven (you can cook on top of the stove, but it might burn, better to bake in the oven when you are just learing) --make sure you don't fill the pan more than 2/3 full.

Pour one or two large cans of tomato juice all over the cabbage rolls. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for a couple of hours or until the meat has cooked through.

Salt again before eating.

Reply:Ukrainian Prockus (stuffed Cabbage):

2¼ hours 15 min prep

12 large meatballs

2 (16 ounce) cans jellied cranberry sauce (jelled not whole)

2 (16 ounce) cans tomato sauce

2 cups tap water

1/4 cup warm water

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup white raisins

1 large green cabbage or 2 medium green cabbage

2 lbs ground beef

1 cup raw rice

1 egg

3 saltine crackers

1 medium onion (grated)

1 tablespoon ketchup

salt and pepper

1. Combine the cranberry sauce, tomato sauce, 2 cups tap water and brown sugar and bring to boil.

2. Reduce to a simmer and add white raisins.

3. Simmer 5 minutes.

4. Core the head or heads of cabbage and place into a large pot.

5. Cover with boiling water.

6. Cover the pot and cook 10 to 15 minutes.

7. Remove from hot water.

8. Then cover the cabbage with cold water and separate the leaves. I use only the larger leaves to completely go around meatballs.

9. You may have to replace the inner half of the cabbage into the hot water, in order to soften the rest of the leaves.

10. When the rest of the cabbage is done, place that into the cold water and separate those leaves.

11. In a mixing bowl place the raw ground meat, 1 cup of raw rice, 1 egg, 3 saltine crackers that are soaked and squeezed dry, graded onion, 1/4 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon ketchup, salt and pepper to taste.

12. After mixing the meat mixture well, fill the cabbage leaves with the meat mixture, rolling them closed, and place the large balls into a deep roasting pan.

13. Cover with the tomato sauce mixture.

14. Cover the pan with the lid or with heavy duty aluminum foil and bake in pre-heated 375 degree oven for 1 hour.

15. Remove the lid and continue to bake at 375 degrees for an additional hour.

16. You can either serve immediately or freeze until needed.

17. NOTE: I USUALLY MAKE A DOUBLE AMOUNT OF SAUCE TO USE OVER MASHED POTATOES, BECAUSE IT IS SO DELICIOUS!

How do you cook cabbage? Just looking for a simple way - probably southern style.?

2010-05-22T00:19:00.003-07:00

My mom usually cooks it, but now I'm on my own. I have no clue what to do. I think I rinse it and chop it, but then what do I put in the pan with it and how long will it take to cook? Thanks! I'm a new cook and will probably be on here often!

How do you cook cabbage? Just looking for a simple way - probably southern style.?
All the suggestions sound good, but you mention that you'd prefer southern style.

Southern style cabbage cooks until it is very tender, often with a bit of flavorful pork (bacon, salt pork, ham hocks, etc).

The simplest southern recipe is just simmer wedges it in a bit of water and butter. http://southernfood.about.com/od/cabbage...

This one has bacon, and is similar to the way I do it, except I sautee chopped onion in the bacon fat before adding cabbage and water (no garlic). It says "fried" bit it is really simmered/braised with a bit of water once the bacon is crisped up. The cabbage gives off its own water as well. http://chitterlings.com/fried-cabbage.ht...
Reply:I'm come the South and we eat cooked cabbage at least once or twice a week %26amp; this is how my mama taught me.

1. Take 1 med. size head of cabbage, rinsed %26amp; pat dry with paper towels. Cut in half, than cut out the cord.Chop into big bite-size pieces.You don't want the "Cord" it's too tough.

2.Chop about 6-7 pieces of Thick sliced bacon into about 1" pieces %26amp; fry in a large skillet until crispy,but not Burnt.

3.Now, add the cabbage to the skillet with the bacon drippings over med.-high heat stirring constantly to coat the cabbage for about 4- 5 mins

4.Then, add 1/2 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

You can adjust to your taste here or just Omit it.

5.Sprinkle with 1 tablespoons of sugar.Stir

6.Add about 1/3 cup water,cover and reduce heat to low %26amp; let it steam until just fork tender, but NOT MUSHY you want a little chew to it.

7. Just before serving,crumble bacon %26amp; sprinkle over top of cabbage.

Well this is my families recipe %26amp; I sure there's many more out there.Lots of good recipes out there for cabbage.
Reply:rinse it and cut it up then boil it until soft and then add whatever seasonings you want for flavor and put it in a bowl always use a straining spoon.
Reply:I just brown some sausage then chop the cabbage and put it in the pot. It will make it's own juice/water. Season it and put whatever else you like in it.
Reply:You can very simply saute/stir fry in butter or oil over medium heat with salt and pepper. Keep tasting until it gets the texture that you like. If you want to make it Asian flavored add garlic , ginger while sauting and a splash of soy sauce at the end. If you want to make it German flavored add cider vinegar, a bit of sugar and, perhaps, caraway seeds. For more of a French flare use white wine and chicken stock and reduce them to almost nothing. Have fun!
Reply:Try shredding it with carrots mushrooms garlic and onions and add some balsamic vinegar, if too tart add a pinch of sugar.
Reply:use very little water when steaming it, or it gets soggy

Reply:It doesn't work. Go about weight loss the smart way.... eat healthy food and exercise. And realize that it takes TIME to lose weight. It isn't just going to fall off. If you do one of those silly 'diets' the weight will just come right back when you go off of it...if you lose any weight in the first place!! Just teach yourself to live a healthier lifestyle and you will be fine.
Reply:I tried it once and it gets old really quick. And basically you have the "runs" the entire time you are on it so you lose alot of water weight. And i got sick of the soup after the 3rd day. I said it before but if you want to lose weight then the Atkins is the way to go..Everyone that goes on it and actaully follows it will lose weight..I would do it 10 days on and 2 days off..and those 2 days off really helped the cravings and after awhile you don't miss the carbs
Reply:if people would exercise more they would not have to worry so darn much about food...Are you really serious about doing this? We are talking about hard work. Putting down your little debbies, getting off your butt and not only going on a diet but EXERCISING!!! Even if you lose the weight it will come right back if you do not have the desire and motivation to not only look cute but to be healthy. it is going to take alot of inner strength I can assure you of that.

1.) eat 4-5 small meals a day

2.) drink lots of water

3.)exercise every day

4.) do not eat 4-6 hours before you sleep.

It smells so bad %26amp; I didn't know if the 'tradition' says that you have to have it at home (like it would bring everyone in the house good luck) or can you eat it at someone else's house %26amp; still have good luck ? Thanks.

I know that cabbage is supposed to bring good luck on New Year's Day, but do you have to eat it in your house?
LOL. When my husband cooked his first every meal for me he made boiled fish and boiled cabbage, ewwww. I opened all the windows and took him out to dinner.

Eat wherever you want. How about a little coleslaw, that doesn't stink up the house, stop at the deli on the way home.

Happy New Year.
Reply:It smells bad because it's been cooked too long and or too fast.

Cut the cabbage into pieces or shred it.

Put into pot/pan and bring just to a boil.

Cover with a snug fitting cover (I like a glass cover so I can watch it.)

Reduce the heat to a simmer.

Cook for about 20 minutes.

I turn the heat off when the cabbage begins to turn transluscent.

I like to cook it with a diced slice of bacon for each serving.

I have been looking for the recipe because my grandfather used to make it but I can't does anyone know how to do this? SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!

Anyone know how to make smoked butt and cabbage?
my dad loved smoked pork butt and cabbage. i remember when i was 15, i invited a new boyfriend to come to dinner, he asked what we were having and i said smoked pork butt and he was insulted. he thought i was making a joke. i love it though and he didn't know what he was missing. so, here is a good recipe. wash the butt in cold water. then place it in a saucepan in cold water and bring to a boil. when it boils, lower the heat and bring it to simmering. add old bay spice or a similar or favorite spice and simmer while you get the cabbage ready. cut the cabbage in reasonable size pieces. place on top of butt and cover. simmer until cabbage is tender. serve with mustard or favorite condiment. my dad liked horseradish. enjoy. thanks for the wonderful memory.

Reply:1 smoked pork butt about 3 lbs.

3 Tbl. brown sugar

2 quarts of water

Place Butt in pot large enough to hold at least 2 quarts of water (enough to cover butt), add the brown sugar and simmer on top of stove in covered pot, 40 minutes to each pound of butt.

When done, remove butt from pot but do not throw away cooking liquid. Slice and serve warm with boiled or mashed potatoes and vegetable. Sour Cream Coleslaw on the side is nice.

The wonderfully flavored cooking water is used to make a delicious soup, with the addition of cabbage, tomato, onion, potatoes.

Smoked butt is versatile and full of tender meat.

What is the compound/chemical that makes cabbage help with swelling?

2010-05-22T00:18:00.000-07:00

I know that it works, I just want to know HOW and what the chemical/compound is.

Thanks!

What is the compound/chemical that makes cabbage help with swelling?
The compound is cellulose and the solvent is water which swells it.

Cellulose is also wood - and in all plants, think of a swollen log in a river - you get the idea.
Reply:I don't know but I work post partum nursing and we give cold cabbage leaves to bottle feeding mom's who want to dry up/ prevent breast milk from coming in. I hope we get an answer so I can pass it on to my patients. I'll try asking a doc.
Reply:I'm not sure if it's one ingredient or the combination..but cabbage contains a lot of Vitamin C, which functions like an antioxidant. Also, a rich source of I3C (indole 3 carbinols), sulforaphanes, and indoles that are detoxifying. It's also a rich source of fiber..fiber assists the body in carrying away toxins and waste. I thought I read somewhere that cabbage was a source of TMG (trimethylglycine).. but cannot locate it at the moment. Inflammation causes swelling, so anything fighting inflammation would probably assist in swelling.
Reply:The common green cabbage (Brassica capitata) is used for engorgement therapy. Cabbage is known to contain sinigrin (allylisothiocyanate) rapine, mustard oil, magnesium, oxylate and sulphur heterosides. Herbalists believe that cabbage has both antibiotic and anti-irritant properties. It is theorized that this natural mixture of ingredients helps decrease tissue congestion by dilating (opening) local capillaries (small blood vessels), improving the blood flow in the area.

I am looking for a recipe for Cabbage ham and potato soup?

2010-05-20T04:13:00.001-07:00

My parents used to make this and I cannot find a good recipe for it

I am looking for a recipe for Cabbage ham and potato soup?
My grandma made this recipe one time and we loved it.

5-6 cups cabbage, shredded (about 1/2 med. head)

3 medium potatoes

2 medium carrots

6-8 scallions (One bunch)

1/4 lb lean ham, chopped

4 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons flour

2 cups water

1 (13 3/4 ounce) can chicken broth

1 teaspoon dill

1/2 teaspoon pepper

* Ham Soups

* %26lt; 60 mins Soups

* Low Protein Soups

1. Peel potatoes and cut them into 1/4" dice. Cut carrots into 1/4" dice. Coarsely chop scallions. Cut ham into 1/4" dice. Shred cabbage.

2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add potatoes, carrots and scallions and saute until scallions are wilted, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

4. Add cabbage, water, broth, dill and pepper, and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Just before serving, gently mash vegetables with a potato masher to thicken liquid if desired. Stir in the ham. .

6. (Notes: I don't mash the potatoes because I prefer potato soup that way, and it is already pretty thick for me. I also have used chicken bullion and water to make the broth called for, and it has worked fine for me.).

Reply:8 tbsp. butter

1 cup (about 1/3 pound) cubed cooked ham

2 c. chopped potatoes

2 c. chopped onions

Salt %26amp; freshly ground pepper

10 c. chicken stock

6 c. chopped cabbage leaves

1 c. cream

Melt butter in heavy pan. When it foams, stir in potatoes, ham, and onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Add the chicken stock and boil until the potatoes are soft. Add the cabbage and simmer with the lid off for barely 10 minutes. When cool enough put the soup in the blender. Taste and add more seasonings according to taste. Add cream before serving. Do not bring to a boil. As this will spoil the taste.

I cooked cabbage in boiling water. What do I do to make it taste good?

2010-05-20T04:13:00.000-07:00

Salt and pepper to your taste, add some butter ( a couple of teaspoons) and ham bits or bacon grease, cook it a little longer....YYYUUUUMMM.

Or, make cabbage rolls or a cabbage casserole.

I cooked cabbage in boiling water. What do I do to make it taste good?
lots of salt
Reply:In a big frying pan, cook 5 or 4 slices of bacon in a little oil.

Drain some boiled cabbage . Remove the bacon , add some flour and butter,stir it all good. After 5 or 4 minutes, add some scalding hot milk slowly into that pan and stir some more. Add that cabbage into the pan add a few dashes of good old Louisiana Hot sauce and season well, sprinkle crumbled bacon on there and serve immediately as a side dish to beer braised corned beef with smokey grilled onions.
Reply:You could add a bit of butter, salt %26amp; pepper for basic flavouring, or use a tomato sauce (cabbage rolls use tomato sauce and the flavours go together well). Boiling it isn't a terrific way to cook it. Next time, chop it in fine strips, and stir fry it in some butter, add a few raisins, salt %26amp; pepper, then add some orange juice, cover it and cook it on reduced heat for about 15 minutes. I know it sounds odd with the fruity flavour addition, but it really works. I sometimes add a few caraway seeds or celery seeds.
Reply:Hmmm... you might be asking this question a little late.

I'm not a cook, but my friend who cooks cabbage often puts onions and green peppers in it. Salt and pepper as well. She also cooks it with a meat that has been pan fried. I love the stuff.

So if you have already cooked the cabbage, I don't know what to tell you. However next time -

Slice up 1 carrot into thin 1 1/2 inch strips. (Cut the carrot into 3 pieces then slice into strips)

Slice up 1/2 a large onion or 1 whole med/sm onion into strips

Slice up 1/2 a bell pepper - strips again!

Slice up 1/2 a head of cabbage

Coat the bottom of a large pot with oil and put strips of chicken or fish chunks in the oil - Once the meat is just about done throw in the onion, bell pepper, carrots put a 1/2 a cup of water in the pot and cover (the heat should be med/low).

Let all of this cook for about 5 min.

Next add the cabbage, add 2 cups of water and cover.

Once the cabbage has cooked down some, dust the top with black pepper and stir.

Leave it alone until the cabbage gets soft - Voila you are all done!

Reply:Roll it with seasoned ground beef, red and green chillis, and something else..... think big field growth. Carrots, cabbage, cows, potatoes, etc....
Reply:Just add some salt, pepper and some butter, also some kind of Ham or Sausage or something, UmmmUmmm
Reply:Cook it with salt meat.
Reply:I usually cook cabbage with some high cholesterol pork. If I cook it plain I will usually add some cayenne pepper. Served plain I will put some spicy mustard on it.
Reply:I add lots of butter and bacon. And a little pepper
Reply:choop it with mashed potatoes and onion.........
Reply:season it...
Reply:Make a chinese stir fry, add 1 clove of garlic, chop up your cooked cabbage then add all typed of veggies you like to a greased frypan, cook till the veggies go a bit soft add soy sauce, and oyster sauce then stir for a few min, then add cooked drained noodles (any noodle you like will do)to the veggies toss through till well coated, add a bit of tabasco and you are ready to eat.
Reply:next time fry it in butter
Reply:Well you can fill the pan up with more water and add salt and pepper and a ham hock.
Reply:Nothing if you don't like cabbage. I like boiled cabbage with lots of melted butter, salt, and pepper. This is your best bet if you didn't boil it with meat. If you did boil it with meat, a little butter and some vinegar also goes very nicely.
Reply:make cabbage rolls
Reply:I would cook up a ring of Eckrich Kielbasa sausage to slice up and throw in. Add one or two cans of Swanson roast garlic seasoned chicken broth.(you can use regular, but the other is more flavorful) I also put in 4-6 cubes of wylers chicken flavor broth cubes. Then in another pan, saute an onion in butter and put into the mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.

It's awsome! Next time just chop up the cabbage in butter with the onion. No water necessary as it will make it's own as it cooks. Depending on how much liquid you add, it will either be a soup or a hearty dish!
Reply:as cabbage is simmering after initial boil add fresh mint
Reply:I put bacon grease and an onion with salt and pepper. I make cornbread with it and eat it like it's going out of style. Southern girl....nuf said......LRMM
Reply:Well, I like butter on mine. Also, nutmeg tastes really good on cabbage (sounds weird but it tastes good). If you have bacon, fry some bacon and add some of the bacon grease and pieces of bacon to the cabbage.

How does cabbage juice indicate the relative strength of acids and bases?

2010-05-20T04:12:00.003-07:00

Cabbage juice has a dye in it ghat changes color according to acid or base. Let cabbage juice dye be called J. Then at low pH, cabbage juice dye has the form HJ. If OH- be added and the pH goes up, then HJ + OH- ===%26gt; J- + H2O. HJ and J- are of different colors. So they can indicate whether solutions are acidic or basic.

Lettuce, cabbage, cauli and broccoli have big leaves but fail to form into hearts. What should we be doing?

2010-05-20T04:12:00.001-07:00

ah could be too much nitrogen in the soil, apply a super phosphate and some potash next time. these help plants flower. adding too much nitrogen is a common problem for brassicas and all they do is produce lots of leaves but no fruit/ heart

Lettuce, cabbage, cauli and broccoli have big leaves but fail to form into hearts. What should we be doing?
If they form into hearts they will capture less sunlight. Leave Mother Nature alone.
