Diary of a Mad Fat Woman

My children ate cabbage tonight. MY children ate CABBAGE. Apparently, it tasted like hot dogs. Likely a result of the smoked sausage that I cooked with it, but still…CABBAGE!

It was yum, if I do say so. I sauteed some smoked sausage and removed it from the pan. I chopped a head of cabbage and threw it in the pan with whatever juiciness that came off the sausage plus just a little bit of beef broth, some salt, and garlic. I stirred the cabbage a bit and then threw a lid on it and let it steam some. Lid off, sausage back in, and then threw some shredded swiss cheese on top.

We also ate a frozen veggie blend (carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli) and everyone but me had a smoothie made from plain yogurt, frozen fruit, a bit of fresh squeezed orange juice and some Truvia to make up for using plain yogurt. One day this might make it back into my diet but for tonight, I was ok with not having any.

So, the rundown is as follows:

• 1 1/2 c cabbage - 3.3 net carbs
• 2 oz smoked sausage - 4 net carbs
• 2 Tbl swiss cheese -0 net carbs (1/3 cup has >1 net carb)
• Salt, garlic, and beef broth - freebies
• 1/2 cup cauliflower and broccoli blend - 1.6 net carbs

Total for the meal - 8.6

Not too shabby and everyone liked it.
