I get real excited when the cabbage heads in the garden are ready to harvest, so we can enjoy some of our favorite cabbage recipes. One of our favorite recipes is our Old Fashioned Creamed Cabbage, it is a very simple dish but has amazing flavor that comes through with a creamy sauce. There is no doubt that this is a delicious comforting vegetable dish.
