Good Food Good Friends - Cabbage

-



Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  I had birthday followed by huge Thanksgiving feast, followed by birthday party of my adorable yummy four year old granddaughter!  I was fooded out (is that a word) the early part of this week, but I am ready to eat again now!  

 Okay so how many of you watch the precious videos of Brenda Gantt cooking?   Oh my goodness what a joy she is to watch.   I was inspired by her this week when I watched her make cabbage casserole.  I had never heard of it, but my dear friend in Atlanta, Carol, told me how much she liked it so I gave it a try.

It is easy to put together.  The first night we did not like it much, but the following nights it grew on us and it seemed to get better and better.  For me, however, I think I will stick to plain, boiled cabbage from now on.  There was just something not right for me with cheese mixed with cabbage!  Everyone should try it though.  Might just be your favorite comfort food ever!

I have not watched the videos you mentioned, I will check that out. Your casserole looks like the ultimate comfort food. I think that would go over here well and will make a small version of it to try it out, I can adjust the canned soup ingredient as I've learned to make my own version over the years. It looks like a nice dish to have on a cold wintery evening. I see those coming around sooner rather than later here.

Your casserole demonstrates a great way to serve cabbage in a new way. I have been so unimaginative in the past. I love that it is relatively easy and does not have a lot of complicated ingredients. The improving taste for leftovers is also definitely a plus.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes.  At this point, they are perfe

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to
