Crock Pot Cabbage and Kielbasa

I needed to make something healthier for us after the holidays.  Although I am still going to make a cake or pudding or muffins or, or, or...  Well, something anyway.   Hopefully this will make up for whatever it is I am about to throw together.  Hubby and I love cabbage and kielbasa in the colder months.  It's a comfort food.  Add the sweet peppers, garlic and onion and yes, I am feeling a lot of comfort going on.  I went heavy on the garlic because I'm not feeling great...feel free to cut back.  Enjoy!

Crock Pot Cabbage and Kielbasa

16 oz turkey kielbasa, sliced 1/2 to 3/4"

1 head cabbage, chopped

4 to 6  medium to large carrots, sliced 1/2 to 3/4" 

10 small sweet colored peppers, cut in quarters  

or 1 large colored pepper, chopped

1/2 large onion, chopped

5 to 10 cloves garlic or 1 to 2 Tablespoons minced

4 cups chicken broth

28 oz can diced tomatoes, mine was flavored with basil, garlic and oregano

(V8 juice is also great in this recipe!)

1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/2 teaspoon white pepper, or to taste

Prep veggies and kielbasa.  In 6 quart crock pot add chicken broth and tomatoes.  Season with salt and pepper..  Add garlic, peppers, onion, carrots and sausage.  Stir.  Add cabbage, stirring so it will fit.  Cover and cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, depending how you like your veggies.  This can also be cooked on low for 8 hours. Add more salt and pepper, if needed.  Serve with Big Ole Yeast Rolls or One Hour French Bread and you have a great comfort meal!

Fluffy Microwave Pancakes

I started a board on Pinterest, Microwave…Making Life Easier.  While looking on the internet I found microwave pancakes on Oprah.  Wow!  I have tried a lot of things in the microwave but never pancakes.  These turned out to be the best pancakes ever!  They felt like fluffy clouds…honest! 

Fluffy Microwave Pancakes

2 cups Bisquick

1 egg, beaten

club soda

buttermilk

1 teaspoon sugar

Whisk Bisquick around to break apart lumps.  Add sugar, egg and enough club soda to moisten but not completely wet it.  Add enough buttermilk to make a medium batter.  Spray a microwave safe plate with non-stick spray or spritz with oil.  Put 1/4 cup, or enough to cover inner part of plate, batter on plate.  Microwave 30 to 40 seconds until pancake is no longer moist, not dry, and tiny holes appear.  Repeat with remaining batter.  Enjoy!

Quinoa and Flax Seed Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache

I am trying to incorporate healthier recipes in our diet.  The boys pediatrician said I could cut out gluten and and dairy to help with one of the twins over active behavior and my oldest short attention span and forgetfulness.  This is my first change and my boys really like them!  They have a slightly different taste and I'm not certain if it is because of the quinoa flour or flax seed.  I did find they taste better after they have cooled completely.  The addition of dark chocolate chips and dark chocolate ganache was a plus.   Hope you like them.  My boys have asked for them again....already!  You can find the recipe on Examiner.com.  I would love if you would subscribe to my articles there.  ~love and hugs~
