@Zhills 

Thank You for the recipe. It's a keeper.

@house_cat Are those Napa or Savoy cabbages?  What is the green one?  I believe they are interchangeable just not familiar with those.  

Try the Napa Cabbage Ramen noodle salad on Pinterest.  It is delicious also.

Next ingredient:  Fresh spinach

SPINACH Salad with Pasta

2 cups penne noodles, cooked and drained

3 cups FRESH SPINACH, torn

1 cup cooked chicken, cut in strips (optional)

1 cup sliced strawberries

1/2 cup sliced red onion

1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup bottle Balsamic Viniagrette Dressing

Cook pasta, drain, rinse with cold water and drain again.  Place SPINACH in bowl and add pasta.  Toss lightly to combine.  Add rest of the ingredients except dressing.  Mix together gently.  Refrigerate.  When ready to serve drizzle with dressing and toss lightly to coat.

The two in the front of the basket are napa cabbages. The one in the back is kale.

Next ingredient: brown sugar

@house_cat Thanks, I thought so.  Just don't see them not "trimmed up" in a grocery!  How did you cook the Kale?

BROWN SUGAR Ribs

3/4 cup packed BROWN SUGAR

2 tablespoons paprika

2 tablespoons salt

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

2 teaspoons black pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 oranges, juiced

2 racks baby back pork ribs, cut into 2-rib pieces

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  In a large bowl mix together the BROWN SUGAR, paprika, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic and orange juice.  Add ribs and toss until coated evenly.  Cut an aluminum foil sheet that is 18" wide and 24" long.  Place on top of a baking sheet.  Place ribs on foil along with extra juices.  Fold ends over the ribs,  followed by sides and seal tightly to completely enclose.  Bake for 2 hours.

* This is a Ree Drummond recipe.  It is good and no mess to clean up after. If you don't have a grill or it is a cold winter day, you can still enjoy ribs!  I did not add the cayenne pepper.

NEXT INGREDIENT ..... CARROTS or CELERY
