Food Friday - Sauted Cabbage and Bacon

Hello!  First up, today over at Kellys Korner, she is hosting her weekly "Show Us Your Life" party and today is favorite dessert recipes.   The recipe I have set up to share today is not a dessert but I thought I'd share some links to some of our favorites that I've posted in the past:

Boston Cream Pie Minis - If you love Boston Cream Pie but want a version that you can hold in your hand - check out this recipe.  It's a cupcake version that is fabulous and super easy to make.

Too Much Chocolate Cake  - Need I say more? 

Mountain Dew Cupcakes with Mountain Dew Frosting - yes, you read correctly (but you can use any lemon lime soda)  They are fantastic and I always get rave reviews when I make these.

Turtle Cake - This is a wonderful chocolate caramel goodness of cake.  I always forget how good it is until I make it again :-)

Now, on to today's Recipe

Sauteed Cabbage and Bacon
adapted from  Comfy In The Kitchen

I've mentioned before that I've acquired a taste for cabbage. Then, add it to bacon and it gets better.  This is such a simple side dish to make and it is a great side to so many things.  I actually cut the bacon up into medium sizes pieces and then cooked it.  Also, next time, I would not use the olive oil.  I found it almost too oily since you don't drain the bacon.  You could always add just a drop of oil if you need more moisture to cook the cabbage in so it doesn't burn. This would make a great side dish with a holiday meal since it cooks on the stove top and is ready so quickly.  :-)
