Sometimes folks don't like a certain food cooked but love it raw. You might want to try different cabbages, like Bok Choy, which is totally different than regular cabbage (green or purple). My son loves raw spinach, but hates it cooked.

Another thing you might try is giving her seeds to grow her own cabbage, this way she might have a different attitude if it's HER cabbage. She can control the care/feeding/protection of her special plants. They will grow in pots, don't need a garden.

Here's a simple recipe:

cook your favorite pasta, rinse in cold water, drain well.

toss it into a large bowl, add favorite dressing, fav veggies, some shredded cheese, chopped olives, left over meat like chicken or lunch meat, ham?

toss well, chill til cold, serve. An easy make ahead dish for potluck, party, or lunch for the week.

You could go ethnic and make it a southwest dish, black beans, chili, cheese, tomato, salsa, onion, etc, and serve it hot?

A million ways to experiment.

Does she like potatoes? If so, you might want to think about easing her in with colcannon. It's an Irish dish made with cabbage (or other greens, kale, etc.) mashed together with the spuds, butter, salt and pepper to taste. I love the stuff!

Okay quickie tip.

Love meatloaf?

2 lbs of ground meat
1 pkg herbed stuffing, smash it into crumbs, be sure to poke a hole in the bag first, or you will be vacuuming crumbs for a year.

2 eggs, whipped like scrambled eggs
add other goodies if you like, minced onion (or onion dip pkg, dry), shredded carrot, 1/2 cup applesauce, what ever you love, green pepper etc...

mix well, use your hands, works better and more fun.

make one big loaf or several small ones, (you can throw them in the freezer for quick meals later after baking. You can put a strip of bacon on top, 1/2 strip on little ones, 2 or 3 on one big loaf.

Bake in 350 degree oven for one hour (big one loaf) or 45 min for little ones or meatballs.

OR you can put them in your slow cooker, set the potatoes on top, and you have a meal fit for a KING or QUEEN.... If you put the potatoes on the bottom, the grease from the meatloaf will flavor the taters and your meatloaf will have less grease... just sayin'.

You can even make them into meatballs, bake, freeze and all ya gotta do is thaw or throw in crock pot frozen with a big can (jar) of your fav sauce, put on low, dinner is ready when you get home. Just spend 20 minutes making pasta or grab a loaf of italian on the way home, and you will have a monster meatball sub for dinner, remember to have salad also!

For the best baked potatoes:

wash well, (rub their little brown bodies with oil to keep skins soft) put in crockpot (slow cooker) slow for all day (if you are going to work) or high if you are home and can check on them after a few hours.

DO NOT ADD WATER

Omg soft, and perfect for meatloaf dinner. You can do the same thing with sweet potatoes... yummy

Salad makes it diet food!

Are you sick and tired of the same old sandwich?

Try this:

Lunch meat: I used tavern ham and genoa salami

Cheese: Asiago (sliced thin)

Condiment: Mayonaise WITH about 1/4 teaspoon of basil pesto smeared over the mayonnaise on ONE slice of the bread (Chicago Italian) mix in good.

add: whatever veggies you like. Onion, lettuce, etc.

The pesto Makes the sandwich. You will never be the same again.
