I feel like cabbage is a very understated side. It was usually not a go to for me, that is until I discovered this recipe. Apart from the cabbage I usually have all ingredients on hand making this flavorful cabbage a quick, easy, healthy, and affordable side dish. This recipe takes approximately 1.5 minutes to assemble then you bake! I also love the easy cleanup that baking everything in the foil packet allows.

Nursing Tip:
Speaking of wrap I continue to be amazed when I ask a patient to put on a gown. After 9 years of nursing every time I hand a patient a gown I feel the need to clarify that it opens in the back. It is always quite shocking (and awkward) as the staff to walk into a patient’s room for a knee exam and see the gown opening in the front. Breast exams are pretty far down on the list that a patient comes to an Emergency Room for; however, for some reason patients seem to feel a lot more comfortable if their back side is covered!
