I have another simple two ingredient dinner idea for you. A while back when I made the “Unstuffed Cabbage soup” from the Simple Taste cookbook, “The SkinnyTaste Cookbook: Light on Calories, Big on Flavor”, I had a half of a head of cabbage leftover that I did not use. It was sitting on my counter-top and I had not come up with an idea of what to do with it yet when my daughter asked if she could eat it. I said, “Sure!” and I jokingly handed her the whole thing and told her just to chomp right down into it and to my surprise, she said “Okay”. She was ready to eat into a head of cabbage raw! Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE cabbage in a coleslaw but I have never seen a person just pick up a head of cabbage and sink their teeth into it. I mean, a rabbit. . . maybe. . . So, then I did what any good mother  would do. I said, “Wait! Let me get my camera first.”

 

She took a bite of the cabbage and then smiled and gave me a thumbs up! Such a hoot. She makes me laugh.

Okay, so where was I going.

Oh yes.

So, I posted this video on my personal Facebook page (like any good mother would) . . . It’s okay. I had her permission.

So, then my friend says in a comment, “Slice it thin, put on a greased cookie sheet brush with olive and season with your favorite stuff. 350 for 10 to 15 min. Yum.”

I didn’t have anything else planned with the cabbage so I decided to give it a try and I was surprised how much I loved it!

Seriously, you have to try this if you haven’t already. There are a TON of recipes with this similar idea. Apparently it was not a new idea. Who knew? Not me. But I am in the know now, and so are you. 🙂 I just followed the steps on here. I didn’t do anything fancy to mine. I just used olive oil with salt and pepper.

The steps are very simple.

1. Cut up your cabbage.

2. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3. Bake it. 425°F for about 35 minutes.

As far as Weight Watcher points go on this one, I guess you would have to count the olive oil and that is it. Cabbage is zero points.

While the cabbage was cooking in the oven I sliced up some of Aldi’s Spinach and Feta chicken sausage and cooked in a frying pan until it was browned. This stuff is good. One link is 4 Weight Watcher smart points, but you might want to eat more than one link. I ate one link sliced but it was really good and I wished I had bought more so I could eat more. (just so you know) Luckily we had plenty of cabbage so I just doubled up on that.

Slice and brown the sausage.

Serve the baked cabbage and chicken sausage together.
