Cabbage and Bacon
Here is a simple and inexpensive way to get a good dose of vegetables into a meal. It’s really tasty, as well!
Buy a head of cabbage, and a slice or two of bacon. Choose bacon without nitrates. Bacon ends work well for this recipe. You’ll save going with the bacon ends - it’s just bacon that couldn’t be cut into nice, neat slices. I spent a whopping $1.13 for this filling, nutritious meal at New Seasons market. Don’t say that you cannot afford to feed yourself properly!
Heat a dash of olive oil in a large skillet, chop the bacon, then heat the bacon for a few minutes until it starts to get soft. Meanwhile, chop the cabbage in half, cut out the core, then chop it into wedges. Add to the skillet, breaking up the cabbage a bit as you do. Reduce the heat to medium-low . Add about 1/4 cup of water, cover, and cook for around 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft and tender. Stir the cabbage several times while cooking.
I will often eat this all by myself as one meal (with some other protein, usually), as I try for 1/2 lb of vegetables or more at most meals. Enjoy!

Good one Scott, I will have to try that…

I added whipped up eggs to the cabbage and bacon as well. Gave it a nice breakfast feel and upped the protein blocks as well.
That sounds like an awesome breakfast meal, thanks XX and Scott!
Scott, going to give it a try tonight for the hubby and I. We love us some cabbage! Xia Xia - love the egg addition too…
