Sweet Cabbage

There was alot of cabbage in the garden awhile back, and I made up my own sweet cabbage recipe. I made it again the other night since one of the kids requested it. Can you believe it one of the kids requested cabbage for dinner. YUMMY! I don't have the ham broth so I'm going to sub it with some other kind of broth...It was fine, but I need to remember if I don't have the honey glazed ham broth I need to had alittle more sugar, but all in all it was YUMMY!


1 red onion sliced


garlic (I use the already chopped in the fridge kind)


1 stick of butter


Honey glazed ham broth 3 large ladles (Chris had made a honey glazed ham that day)


1 large head of cabbage cored, and chopped into bite sized pieces


1 tablespoon of salt


2 tablespoons of sugar


In my large pressure cooker I melted the butter. I sauted the garlic, and onions. Then I put all the cabbage in the cooker. It filled the cooker. Then I put in the 3 ladles of Honey glazed ham broth, salt, and sugar. Then I stirred it all up really good. Then I put the pressure cooker lid on and brought it to full pressure, and cooked it for about 5 minutes.

I made this note to myself the last time I cooked it...LOL But last time I had a HUGE cabbage from the garden instead of a tiny cabbage from the store...LOL
Notes to self: We loved this stuff. We ate it for two nights. We could have used just alittle more the second night. Not to worry, I saved the broth, and I am going to cook another head of cabbage this way. I could have used any kind of broth, and I could have used less liquid at that. I'm still playing around with this. All I know is that it was sweet cabbage, and everyone ate it. In the end that's all that matters.

Is Bethany over sensitive?

I don't really have a picture to go with these two little stories about Bethany because they are just random thoughts. BUT I really liked these two pictures I've taken with my cell phone. My friend Lenee made these cute little hats for Bethany. She loves them. She asked me to go to the yarn store and let her buy more yarn to match all of her clothes....What I like about these hats is that her hair is out of her face. I may have to take her to that yarn store...LOL I think Lenee should sell these cute little hats...LOL


1.) On the night of prom Chris and I took Lynsey and her friend to dinner. I was finished getting ready, and decided to check in on what each of the kids were doing before we left. Noah was watching T.V. in the living room, Christopher was playing on the PS2 in his room, and Bethany was in her room with the door closed. So, I opened the door and Bethany was sitting on the floor with her barbies all spread out. When I looked at her she wiped her eyes really quick. I said 'Bethany what are you doing?' She said 'Playing with my barbies.' She looked so sad. I said 'What's a matter?'. She said 'Well this barbie (the one in her hand) just met these two barbies (they were each in their own cars) and they became friends. Then on the way home these two barbies were in a really bad car accident and this barbie is really sad because they were such good friends.' I said 'Oh Bethany that does sound really sad, but remember it's only pretend.' She said 'I know.' Then I smiled and shut the door.

2.) I rented the movie 'The Blind Side' I didn't ask anyone to watch it I just put it on and they all sort of just joined me. It was a really great movie, and it felt really great to know that we could all watch something and think it was really great and it wasn't really a kid movie, or a cartoon. Anyway, the next night Bethany comes to me and says 'Are you going to watch a movie tonight?' I said 'Yes' She said 'I hope it's not that movie the blind side that we watched last night'. I asked 'Why? Didn't you like it?' She said 'I've been thinking about that movie all day, I can't get it out of my head........(pause a few seconds) then she looks at me and says 'It really effected me.'

BHS prom 2010

Prom was May 15, 2010 at the Jekyll Island Convention Center. Lynsey was very excited about Prom this year. She didn't have a date, and neither did her friend Kelsea so they went together, and had a blast. Here are a bunch of pictures.

Her Dress is so sparkly.

Chris went and got Lynsey a corsage.

We took Lynsey and her friend Kelsea out to dinner before prom. We ate at the Coastal Kitchen at the marina on St. Simons Island. It was really nice. People kept stopping at our table to tell the girls how pretty they were.

After dinner we walked outside for some pictures. It was a really nice location.

This is picture of the view. Awesome!!

I'm glad she had a really good time!
