Hello Mommies, 

My new challenge… or, er, maybe ongoing challenge is to make this site design and navigation better.  I know that it is difficult to find things right now.  Some simple instructions will help:

• Recipes: click on the smallest category ie: “breakfast”, not “recipes”.  Clicking on “recipes” will give you all the recipes in the archive!! 
• Other topics: click on the category, to the right of the screen. 
• Search: to find a specific recipe just use the search form.

Making the organization work the way I’d like it is proving a challenge, and I have been spending way too much time on this pooter of mine, trying to just do this one thing and then that doesn’t work, so I’ll just try that thing.  yadayadayada.

Thank you for your patience ladies (& all recipe searchers).

Love,

Cathy

I love this recipe as the cabbage sweetens the whole thing, and gives it a sweet and sour tang.  And the kids don’t usually mind the itty bitty bits of cabbage either.

Ingredients:

• 2 c shredded cabbage
• 1 c shredded carrot
• 1/2 c chopped onion
• ground beef, scramble fried
• 1 jar 7 vegetable pasta sauce
• 2 c cooked rice

Instructions:

1. Mix it all together in 4 quart casserole dish.
2. Cover and bake 1 hour, 350°F.

How easy is that?  Add a salad, and voila: dinner!
