Sausage and Purple Cabbage Skillet
Sometimes the best laid plans go awry. When I was planning for this LIVE. I expected to be able to find a couple ingredients for a different dish. But when I couldn’t find them, instead I went through my refrigerator and my cabinets and decided to work with what I had, and I present to you my ground, sausage skillet with vegetables and pickled sweet, cabbage, and apples. Don’t forget you can also see the recipe for the addictively good Chocolate Macadamia Nut Slices here
If you get inspired you can make your own cabbage. Check out my Tiktok Live recipe clip here: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRt1krff/
