I'm looking forward to it @Bluffbaker My stove bit the dust (getting new one this weekend) so perfect timing for a crockpot dish

Oh and I do have a Dijon mustard recipe lol. This is a great way to prepare cabbage and my kids even said it was pretty good (for cabbage) but really it's pretty delicious and healthy. 

Roasted Cabbage Wedges with Onion Dijon Sauce

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients
½ medium green cabbage (about 1½-lbs)
1 TB. garlic-infused olive oil (or regular olive oil)
salt & pepper
Sauce:
3 TB. butter
2 TB. minced fresh onion
1 TB. Dijon mustard
½ tsp. minced garlic
pinch (1/8 tsp.) each salt and pepper
optional: chopped chives or parsley for serving but definitely worth the extra step

Directions

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silicone.

Cut cabbage half into four equal wedges and set on prepared baking sheet. Use a pastry brush to coat the cut side of each wedge with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn wedges and repeat.

Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes. Flip the wedges and roast until nicely browned, 8-10 minutes more.

Meanwhile, make the sauce by adding all the sauce ingredients to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the butter is completely melted. Keep warm (alternately, place ingredients in a microwavable container and cook on high for about 1 minute - warm again before using).
To serve, place the wedges on a plate and drizzle with the sauce. Sprinkle with chives or parsley, if desired.

Its also delicious grilled!

Carrot Cake

10 to 12 Servings

1 1/2 cups walnuts, divided

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour

3 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

2 cups brown sugar, packed

4 eggs

1 cup vegetable or canola oil

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. nutmeg

1/4 tsp. cloves

3 Tbsp. milk

3 cups grated carrots

Coarsely chop 1 cup walnuts; set aside.  Finely chop the remaining walnuts.  Grease 3 (9-inch) round cake pans.  Coat each pan with approximately 2 1/2 tablespoons of the finely chopped walnuts.

Combine the brown sugar, eggs, oil and spices in a large bowl; beat with a mixer until combined.  Resift the flour with baking powder and salt.  Add half the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, beating until combined.  Add the milk all at once, beating until combined.  Add the remaining flour mixture and beat until combined.  Stir in the carrots and remaining walnuts.

Divide the batter evenly between the three pans.  Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until done.  Cool pans on wire racks 10 minutes.  Remove cakes from the pans and cool completely on wire racks.

Next Ingredient:  Kool-Aid (any flavor)

@Bluffbaker I just wanted to thank you for that stew recipe and let you know how much we loved it!!!  I'm definitely making it again this week because my whole family ENJOYED it. One of my daughters had her wisdom teeth removed on Friday so I just gave her the broth from this and she devoured it and it gave her something more substantial to eat while she's recuperating.  No leftovers (sad face). 

I didnt have canned mushrooms but I had a pack of fresh mushroom so I just sautéed this up and it worked just fine. I can't get over how easy this was for such a big payoff!  Thanks again! 😊

I like this because you can pick any flavor of koolaid you want or use two different flavors to come up with a custome taste

Thanks, @GenXmuse!  I'm glad you all liked the recipe.  It's another one I found on margaretsmorsels.blogspot.com.  I bet it was awesome with fresh mushrooms.  I hope your daughter gets to feeling better soon!

I just now noticed your comment about your stove.  I hope you're enjoying your new one and get lots of meals out of it.
