Answers: I need new recipes for your favorite meals soon to be mine. I love Cabbage with bits of ham or turkey mixed in but I'm not that good a cook and need new ideas. I kill for Collard Greens and Turnip Greens but can't stand Mustard Greens! If you have a way of cooking these delicious items then by all means share it with me. I will be forever grateful or at least until my final days. I would like some new salad ideas also. Thank you one and all. Oh yeah, I love Okra also!

Cabbage Salad
-1 bag cole slaw mix (in the produce section by the bagged salads)
-1 package ramen noodles
-1 c white vinegar
-1/2 c to 1c granulated sugar
-2 tbsp soy sauce
*optional add ins*
chopped fresh mushrooms
sunflower seeds
shredded cheese
chicken or turkey
sliced almonds
SALAD:
sautee ramen noodles, almonds, sunflower seeds in butter until lightly browned.
DRESSING:
mix vinegar, sugar and soy sauce (I usually experiment with this and add soy sauce to taste. Sometimes a little more than the recipe calls for)
Add everything together in a large salad bowl right before you are ready to eat it and mix well. I know the ramen noodles sound strange, but its all very tasty together. Everyone loves this when I make it for work parties or family gatherings.
