I Love Green Giant Frozen Veggies!!!

These Green Giant Frozen Veggies are just the best. They all, and I have tried mostly all of them, are just delicious and all you have to do is heat them up in the microwave. Not only that, I get them when they are on sale for 10 for $10.00. One dollar a box, you can't beat that.



I made this for dinner the other night and it was just so quick and easy and so delicious. I seasoned some boneless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and sauteed them in a little olive oil and butter, then I placed a slice of swiss cheese on top and let it melt. Next, I followed the directions on the package of Green Giant Garden Vegetable Medley which was to put them in the microwave for about 3-5 minutes. I made a lettuce, tomato, and onion salad with Kraft's Catalina dressing. It was sooooo good.

So there you have it, an economical, fast, and delicious meal.....
Just thought you'd like to know.

I Wish You Love,

Green Cabbage With Bacon Bits & Onion



When I went to see the vegetable guy this past weekend he had some nice heads of cabbage. Cabbage is not something that I cook a lot, just usually when I make corned beef and cabbage on St. Patty's Day. But it looked so good and was so fresh I bought one and brought it home. So I'm thinking, I used to see my Uncle Chic making cabbage all the time. So I called my mom, and she told me how he made it. He served it with fried chicken, or ham, or whatever meat he had, and cornbread, as always. I made a meal of it. Many times the meal was just a vegetable like this and cornbread. They didn't always have to have meat. Like when my Grandma Daisy made a big pot of white Lima beans with ham, we ate that with cornbread and that was our meal, and a delicious one at that!


Ingredients:

1/2 head of green cabbage(cut up)
1/2 lb. of bacon
1 medium yellow onion
Salt & pepper to taste





In a heavy skillet on medium heat cook the bacon until crisp.

Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on paper towel to drain.

Remove all the bacon grease from the skillet except for about a 1/2 cup.

Saute the onion in the bacon grease until translucent.

Add the cut up cabbage to skillet with 1/2 cup of water and the bacon bits.

Salt & pepper to taste.

Cover and let the cabbage steam, keep your eye on it and turn a couple of
times while steaming.

When the cabbage becomes translucent it's done.


I had this by itself (trying not to eat too much meat and it does have bacon in it) and I just loved it. Served it to my husband with a steak and he loved it. Can be served with corned beef, steak, ham, chicken, or pork, and of course a nice piece of cornbread. I used the other half head of cabbage to make coleslaw.

Enjoy,
Joyce
