How to make a Husband happy

Bacon. At least that's the secret with my husband, add bacon to anything and he will eat it. Here was what I came up with for the first night after I received the CSA box... and then we had it again the second night at my husbands request.  

Potatoes, Cabbage, and Bacon


It was incredibly simple to make and takes very few ingredients.

4 slices of bacon
Baby red potatoes, quartered
One head of Cabbage, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste (I use Jamaica me Crazy seasoned salt)
Fresh Garlic, ran through the garlic press
1/4-1/2 Cup chicken broth

Cook the bacon in a heavy skillet, I use a ceramic coated cast iron one. When it's almost done drain off the oil, cut bacon into smaller pieces (I did about an inch size) and add the potatoes. Put heat on medium. I have a gas stove and this makes things brown, but not burn. Every stove is a bit different so do whatever works for you. Salt and pepper. Put on your lid and walk away. After about 8 minutes you'll want to check it and stir it up a bit. Keep your eye on your pan and when your potatoes are soft throw in your sliced cabbage. Mix it up and as soon as your cabbage is just barely wilted start deglazing your pan with the chicken broth, a couple Tablespoons worth at a time. As soon as all the toasted brown stuff is off the bottom of your pan, you're done! You want it to be damp but not sopping wet.
