Tonight is Hillbilly Supper night.. a favorite at our house. Since dear husband is from the south, born in MO. raised in Ky; We have these nights at least a couple times a month. They are particularly wonderful in the summer when the garden is coming in. Tonight there will be white beans , corn bread, freshly picked green beans, fried cabbage, fresh tomatoes, and big slices of fresh cucumber. I may even whip up a peach cobbler for dessert later on.
I wanted to add the recipe for fried cabbage. I looked online and ran across this (SouthrenPlate.com) wonderful site. I love the great Southern mom attitude and Christy's wonderful way with words. I'm adding the recipe here, but you will definitely want to check her site out. It's looks scrumptious. If you've never tried frying cabbage you should. it's wonderful. I may add a few other recipes later this week, right now I have some cabbage to fry.
enjoy...
Fried Cabbage
Ingredients
- 5-6 strips of bacon (more or less if you like)

Instructions
- In large skillet, fry bacon until crisp. Place bacon on paper towel lined plate and remove all of the bacon grease from the pan except for about two tablespoons. Place chopped cabbage in skillet and crumple cooked bacon on top of it. Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly, for about five minutes. Reduce heat to low and cover. Continue cooking until cabbage is done to your desired tenderness, five to ten minutes more. Salt and pepper to taste.
