But I decided to make the best of it. I gave one head of cabbage away. With the kale I decided to make some kale chips. People rave about these online and declare their kids scarf them down. My kids wouldn't touch them. They smelled funny. I kind of liked them, but they are nothing to rave about and I ate as many as I could. The rest went bad.
With the over ripe plums I got in my basket I made some plum syrup. It was delicious! Especially served over my whole wheat blueberry pancakes (I also got the blueberries in my basket)
But my favorite meal this week was egg rolls! Why have I never made these before? They were so easy and so good and now I have a bunch in my freezer for an easy meal.
Here's the recipe I used
1 lb sausage
1/2 head cabbage (chopped up)
2 large carrots, peeled then grated
1 small onion, chopped up small
1 package of egg rolls
Cook the sausage in a large pot on the stove, stirring to break up. Add the chopped cabbage, carrots, and onion. Keep stirring it and cook until the veggies are wilty.
Follow the directions on the back of the egg roll package, they say it a lot better. Just put a couple table spoon fulls of the cooked mixture into the egg roll and roll it up.
After putting mine on a cookie sheet I rubbed some olive oil on them and then baked them for about 12 min. They came out crispy and juicy and yummy! The only of my kids who enjoyed it though was the baby. She likes just about everything I make, sweet child!
