Lets cook cabbage!


Today I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes! My sweet friend Cami taught me to make it. Cami is from Romania and she says that it is a very common dish there. It's has a very savory flavor and is  great alone or as a side dish. Let's get started!
You will need a head of cabbage, an onion, 4-5 slices of turkey bacon (or sausage, or whatever you like), salt, olive oil, dill, and sour cream (optional).

Have your helper peel your onion, and then you dice it up and saute it in a little olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of water.
While the onions are getting started cut up the turkey bacon into small pieces.
Now throw those in.
Now chop the cabbage up into 1-2" pieces.
Throw it all in.
I add in a teaspoon of salt (I really like salt) maybe you should start with half that and then see what you think. Then I sprinkle the top with the dill seasoning. My friend Cami also adds a seasoning called summer savory. I haven't been able to find this in America. Her mom brings it to her from back home. If you can get your hands on some, add that too! It's awesome!
Stir all of that in and wait...
...or knit, whatever.... I usually cook it until the white pieces of cabbage look kind of clear and the green pieces are bright green.
Taste it. I like mine lightly cooked, Cami usually cooks hers down more to where it has a caramel brown tint to it. It's really good either way.
Then put it on a plate and add a dab of sour cream. (Doesn't sour cream sound weird? I remember thinking that too! But try it! It's amazing!)  Now eat and knit. :)

YUM!! I make this, also taught by a Rumanian friend - along with several other dishes we all love. You can GROW summer savory - most places that have lots of herb plants in the spring will have it.

Thanks for sharing that recipe I thaught I would let you know that poultry seasoning is the same thing as summer savory... It is a very tastie spice, I use it to make my stuffing for the bird and to make chicken soup ...enjoy

Sounds delish! Thanks! Summer savory is a green leafy herb and we can find it in our groceries here in KS but it's costly! I use it in lots of dishes and gravies like turkey gravy.

McCormick brand has Ground Savory in their nicer line that comes in glass and costs more. I bought some at a discount grocery and use it in soups.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
