January 29, 2016

It happens more often than I’d like to admit; by the time work is done at night and I’ve picked up the kids, everyone is starving and they want dinner on the table five minutes ago. At those times, the drive in at the local fast food joint calls my name a little more loudly, and I find myself searching my phone contacts for the pizza delivery guy’s number.
Thankfully over the past few years I’ve added quite a few healthy meals to our family’s repertoire that are faster than fast food, and will fill us up without bogging us down. This particular recipe is unbelievably simple, and yet very satisfying and delicious. It’s the type of recipe you can throw together and have everyone happy and fed just minutes after walking in the door.

- 1 clove garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ green cabbage, chopped

I love cabbage and this looks tasty and healthy.
Thanks Laina! I love cabbage, too. If you give it a try, I would love it if you came back and let me know how you liked it!
I was honestly skeptical about this recipe. I didn’t think something so simple would be good. I was so wrong! This was absolutely delicious! My family and I devoured it and everyone wanted seconds. My only mistake was not doubling the recipe! Next time for sure! Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe!!!
I’m so happy to hear this, you are welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This look so delish and healthy. I can’t wait to try this at home.
