    My favourite Coleslaw


    4 grated granny smith apples (14 oz) = 234
    13 Oz grated carrots (Around 4 large) = 158 calories
    27 oz of cabbage ( that's the head that I had) = 191 calories

    1/4 cup Mayo (light is FINE!)
    1/4 C apple cider vinegar = 0
    1/4 C sugar = 195 calories (I have used brown before and it gives it a difference flavour)

    Mix the sugar, may and vinager, and then poor over the fruits/veggies - toss well.

    Add salt if you like, but it will make the cabbage lose some of the liquid.

    The whole thing is 1000 calories and makes a TON.

    I shred mine. Then I take a big heavy pan and throw in two chopped onions in a little coconut oil and saute 5 mins. Then I add 1/3 cabbage, add a pinch of salt, and cook till cabbage starts getting slightly caramelized. Add more cabbage and continue, then do again till cabbage is cooked and onions are yummy. Add a pinch of tarragon, and salt if needed, and a little pepper. Yum!!!

    One of my favorite things to do with cabbage is to brown ground turkey, then add a bag of frozen onions and peppers. Add your thinly sliced cabbage along with a 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes, salt and pepper and garlic and let that simmer until cabbage is tender. Very filling and not high in calories.

    cabbage
    potatoes
    carrots
    turkey sausage
    salt and pepper
    (could use mushrooms too)

    Roasted Cabbage with Bacon:

    http://www.thekitchn.com/easy-winter-recipe-roasted-cab-105338

    I made this without bacon and it came out great.

    Had olive oil, sea salt, black pepper and and cloves of garlic (unpeeled).
    The slightly charred edges are delicious, a really nice way of making cabbage. It will become a regular in our home.

    Sorry if someone already said this: didn't have time to look through all the pages! Cook a few strips of bacon until well crispy in the bottom of a large pot. Remove the bacon and crumble it, then boil the cabbage in water in the same pot, scraping the bacon drippings off the bottom. When the cabbage is soft remove it from the pot while keping the liquid. Boil several potatoes in the same pot until soft enough to mash. Prepare the mashed potatoes as you normally would per your favorite additions (like milk, seasoning, a bit of butter, etc). Mix all of it (cabbage, bacon bits, and mashed potatoes) together.

    Yum!

    I make several meals out of one head of cabbage. I add it to soups, filler in stir fry, saute it in a little butter with seasoned salt as a side dish and shred it to go on fish tacos instead of lettuce. You can also make cabbage rolls..yummy! If you keep it wrapped air tight it will last well over one week in fridge.

    I sautee it. As a side dish, chopped into narrow strips and combine with onions and carrots, sautee for a few minutes to wilt id, then add a little soy sauce, sriratcha or red pepper flakes, sherry wine and then a drizzle of sesame oil at the end.
    To do a main dish sautee some pork loin strips first and then add the veggies.
