Author’s Bio: This recipe is a delightful twist on the plain-old cabbage dish that was passed down to me from my mother-in-law, Ms. Linda from Beckley, West Virginia. I have to admit that in the past, cabbage has not been my ingredient of choice for cooking, but I have enjoyed cooking and serving this dish to both my family and guests. It has a smooth bite with a pleasing aftertaste that will surprise most people who try this dish for the first time. Bon appetite! ~ Dehanna Bailee You can find out more about Dehanna Bailee or her current book, TRUE NATURE, by visiting her web site at http://www.authorsden.com/dehannabailee/.
