Skillet Cabbage and Sausage
While cabbage may be a super plentiful vegetable during the summer months, it isn't just for coleslaw. In this recipe, it pairs with sausage for a quick and easy comfort meal with the freshness of the season. Garlic and onions come together with apple cider vinegar to bring out all of the cabbage's goodness. Combined with brown sugar for a hint of sweetness, you'll be surprised by the flavor this dish holds!
