Tip

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia

Great way to eat cabbage. Reheats well. I used 1 1/4 tsp salt.

This was really tasty once I cooked it down. I followed the recipe but as soon as I poured in the milk, I knew I had a bit of a mess on my hands - way too soupy! I just cooked it down and then it was fine. I would recommend draining the potato/cabbage mixture longer and don't add all the milk in at once.
