My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Mom's Cabbage

When I lived in Florida every time I started to make this I would have to call Mom for the recipe. Of course there was no recipe, what I really got was the ingredients and a guess at how much. Finally after many years I did take the time to formula sort of a recipe. Here it is. I always double it now because it's even better left over. It's also a good way to use some of your canned tomatoes or oven roasted tomatoes. I use my frozen cabbage in the winter.

Mom's Cabbage
3-4 servings
print recipe

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet

Add;
2 cups chopped cabbage
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup diced tomatoes
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup chopped onion

Cook over medium low heat 10-12 minutes - Don't overcook.

Just before serving stir in another tablespoon of butter, because Mom said so.
