I eat a lot of cabbage, and once i posted in a diet thread that someone should eat cabbage, and from there someone started a thread, come cabbage lady and talk about it.

Do you find that it makes you gassy?

I love cabbage as well, and just made a whole head today, Indian style!

At what point is it dangerous to eat too much cabbage? I am hoping to lose weight postpartum

I don't think it is dangerous...other than to your coworkers! if you over do it.

Why don’t you have a login, like EyeCandy? We need you on the semi-regular to answer all of our vegetable-related queries. What if I need to get my kids to eat micro greens? Can you help?

My favorite way to cook fresh cabbage is a cabbage stew/soup. I cut up large chunks of cabbage, sauté onions, and carrots as the base, then add cabbage, some tomato paste, or a can of whole tomatoes, and then cook it for an hour. Sometimes I add beef to this for flavor, then braise beef first and add cabbage at the end. I usually make a large pot, which lasts a few days.

I make a similar dish in Instant pot. Sometimes I start with browning chunks of smoked kielbasa, then add onions and cabbage with some ketchup for color and sweetness.

You can make any variation you like, which is why it is such a simple yet great dish!

It's not giving me gas, so far!

I guess I could, but I work in another country and don't check dcum that much when I am not in MD.

Back at work now. I don't think I'd like to do all that. People might recognize me.

Peas, but actually potatoes if I am being honest.

I can do the fun part, I cook for fun, and I ride horses for fun. I went to grad school later in life to learn, but also for fun. I loved every minute of it.
