I don't know if you like cabbage, but Wow is it a great diet food!

I just had 1/2 a head of chopped cabbage, fried in with two chopped up pieces of bacon and drippings, some soy and rice wine. It takes about 20 minutes on low to get soft and brownish-translucent, but then it tastes like the inside of an egg roll. Yum, yum! About 6 cups of food - I'm stuffed.

189 Calories. 5 g of fat.

I had to add a 1/2 cup of rice and a hard boiled egg to get the meal NEAR 400 where it needed to be.

Try it!

    we love cabbages of all kinds! lately we've been on a nime chow (spring roll) kick. tonight we added shredded cabbage and carrot to the basic roll. a couple days ago we used bok choy.

    about 10 days ago, we made "stewed cabbage soup" which was unbeatable the 2nd day.

    HAHA, I didn't think of that. :laugh:

    Although the I got to thinking about this and did a little research online and apparently the bacon drippings aren't included in the info on the package panel. So I'll need to add another 100 Cal of fat to the meal. Still pretty good.

    Cabbage is a brilliant friend to dieters! Use it instead of pasta in spag bol! Lightly saute it with carraway seeds and garlic salt with a spray of olive oil! Its the best for a side dish!!!
