I do love cabbage. The way I eat it the most is fried, which unless you're a southerner, probably isn't anything like what you're thinking right now. (No we don't deep fry our cabbage... although I'm sure that somebody has tried it.)

It's really almost a cross between a braise and a pan fry, and while some people do like to let all of the liquid cook out and continue cooking it until it caramelizes, I'm not one of them. I prefer it braised.

It's funny, because I often buy a head of cabbage with the intention of developing another new recipe for the blog, but half the time, I end up making fried cabbage because I love it so much. The Cajun doesn't eat cabbage at all, except for maybe a bite if I fix that as the green for our New Year's Day meal, so I don't make it as often as I'd like to. Along the way though, I have managed to put up a few recipes so that's what this collection is about.

Usually when I share recipes on social media, I also give a link to a compilation page where readers can get additional recipes for that same type of recipe, and if I don't yet have one up, I direct them to my Pinterest page. Now I've finally gotten a collection up right here on the blog!
