i know its going to sound weird but i’ve been craving cooked cabbage recently. to appease this craving i decided to cook some stewed garlic cabbage for dinner. what i really wanted to do was have jerk chicken with a side of beans and rice and make stewed cabbage but at the same time i didn’t want to clean up all those dishes. and i figured i’m just going to mix it altogether so why not cook it that way. first i cooked up some red pepper-asiago chicken sausage, then adding a little olive oil added in minced garlic, onion and chopped cabbage. i cooked that for about 2o minutes before adding in some great northern beans, let that cook while the rice was steaming away and then in a great big bowl combined it all together. yeah that just hit the spot.

crockpot saturday — caribbean chicken
sweet potatoes, chicken, orange juice, pineapple, cinnamon all wonderful things to cook together in a crockpot. the caribbean chicken i made for crockpot saturday was at first i thought a disappointment. there didn’t seem to be enough pineapple and i thought the seasoning was lacking it needed more WOW. but as i ate the leftovers throughout the week it just kept getting better and better. i think it was because the seasonings had time to actual marinate into the chicken and vegetables. this recipe i think will get dog-eared in m crockpot cookbook as a keeper.
