On a cold winter day, there is nothing more satisfying to me to eat than fresh cabbage soup. Everything from the garden goes in from fresh cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, jalapenos, carrots, peas, corn, etc. but the principal ingredient is fresh cabbage chopped up in bite size and cooked just right.

As a matter of fact, it's what's for lunch today.

We don't do it often but I make a killer cornbread. Muffin mix, cream corn, jalapeños and shredded cheese. Cheddar or pepper jack. A little water, less than the mix calls for.

One well seasoned cast iron skillet with a couple tablespoons of bacon drippings goes in the oven at 450.

Mix ingredients in a bowl to combine, don't over mix. I like to let this sit for say 20 minutes, makes a less crumbly texture.

When the skillet is smoking, pour in the batter and right back into the oven. Don't dilly dally. It'll stick if you take your time. Continue baking for about 15 to 20 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.

When done, flip the bread out of the skillet and let it cool some.

Note, I have a pair of welding gloves in the kitchen just for this recipe.

Played foodie yesterday. Had some stuffed peppers in the freezer, chunked them up, added some tomato paste and a bottle of bloody Mary mix. Put this in a crock pot to make stuffed pepper soup for one night this week.

Also cut a bone in pork roast for nice thick chops. Stuffed the chops and will bake out today for dinner.

Must be some nice non stick pans. I like the nice crust from the screaming hot pan.

Momma has had little luck with most non stick stuff. Batters especially.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen, and my most recent creation was a homemade lasagna with a rich meat sauce and lots of gooey cheese. I also tried my hand at baking banana bread, which turned out surprisingly well (my kitchen smelled amazing for hours!). When I’m not cooking, I enjoy treating myself to a meal out, and I recently discovered dine rewards. It’s perfect if you like places like Outback or Carrabba’s since you can earn points and perks while enjoying delicious meals. It’s such a nice way to make dining out feel even more rewarding.

Hmm. Noticed we have some potatoes and some garlic that are sprouting. Might have to make some potato garlic soup.

I’ve been really into lighter, healthier recipes lately since I’m trying to lose weight, so I’m excited to see what everyone shares!

Got alot of running around to do today so dinner is a set it and forget it deal.

Baked ravioli and Italian sausage in tomato sauce with peppers and onions. Load up a couple casserole dishes and in the oven they go.

I’m really into health and fitness, and one thing I’ve been curious about is how body measurements and weight loss work together. I recently found an interesting article on how many pounds you need to lose to drop an inch from your waist. It might be helpful for anyone thinking about how their diet and exercise are impacting their measurements: https://betterme.world/articles/how-many-pounds-to-lose-an-inch/
