need some ideas!

Okay, the simplest idea for cabbage is what my German family calls fried cabbage. Just chop it up, throw it in a hot pan with 1 tbsp of butter and salt to taste. Let it cook down until it gets soft, brown, and delicious. We used to eat that all the time with pork chops and applesauce.

If you want a real recipe and you have some other ingredients on hand, here is one for veggie egg rolls and the main ingredient is yummy cabbage.

Preparing rice paper and wrapping:
I could try to explain it…but other people have already done a better job and taken pics. I suggest this site http://vegetarian.about.com/od/cookingtipstools/ss/Howtospringroll.htm

Brush the egg rolls with the remaining olive oil and place them on a cookie sheet. Bake until they are crisp and golden brown. About 10 min.

That sounds really good!! *Saving it*

But sadly, I don't have any ideas for cabbage ... I'm a raw veggie kinda girl most of the time :ohwell:

ummm, I loooove cabbage! it's my fave!!!!

Try chopping it and sauteing it in pam with a little olive oil with an onion, salt, pepper and paprika...yummy by its self or with a little egg noodles! sooo good!

or, if you feel up to it you can make stuffed cabbage, I have a great recipe if you want it...

Asain wraps! I make one using leftover chicken or pork, shredded cabbage and carrots with some green onion (if I have it), all tossed with 2 TBSP Newmans Lighten up Sesame ginger dressing, thrown in a tortilla or wrap. Or tossed in a pan with some olive oil, salt, pepper and soy sauce with some grilled chicken or pork.
