Our family loves cabbage dishes, so its always fun to find new ways to incorporate cabbage into recipes. The sweet and sour sauce is very similar to a stir-fry that I make with Kielbasa, but I like being able to use this as a side dish. It nicely compliments Grilled Pork Loin Chops,Pork Schnitzel, or even Bratwurst.

Instructions for Making This Recipe
To begin, gather your ingredients so that you have everything nearby on the counter or table.
Prepare the Ingredients
Using a sharp knife and cutting board, shred the cabbage. Chop the onion and green and red bell peppers.
I like to use both red and green bell peppers for this recipe to give it additional pops of color, but feel free to use all red, green, or both. Your choice!
In a small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, and water, stirring well until sugar is dissolved.
Prepare the Cabbage Dish
In a large skillet, cook the bacon until it is nicely brown and crisp. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
In the remaining fat drippings, saute the prepared sweet onion, and bell peppers for 2-3 minutes.
Add in the shredded cabbage. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the cabbage and stir to combine. Season with the celery seed, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Cover and simmer until the cabbage is tender for about 20-25 minutes, stirring often.
Before serving, sprinkle crumbled bacon over top.
Place in a pretty bowl and serve warm. This recipe will serve 4 people.

Spinach Quiche with Bacon is a delicious recipe to serve for a brunch or a light evening meal. Eggs. Bacon. Onions and Green Peppers. Spinach. Herbs and Swiss Cheese. All whipped up together and formed inside a yummy baked shell.
I must admit that spinach in the morning never sounded very good to me. And my stomach still balks at the idea, unless it is late morning. Evening is much better, and even preferred. However, if you’re brave enough to try it, this quiche is quite nice when you want to serve your family or guests something special.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together flour and salt. Add in shortening and blend with a pastry fork until crumbly.
Add water in two parts, mixing in to the flour mixture until a nice dough develops.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry. Transfer to a 9-in deep pie plate. Trim pastry and flute edges.
Line pastry with double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake the pastry in a preheated oven for 8 minutes on lowest oven rack. (This step is an extra precaution to ensure the bottom crust is fully baked when the quiche is done.) Remove foil and cool on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 375 degrees.
To Prepare the Filling:
In a medium skillet, cook bacon, until browned. Place on paper towels to drain off oil. When cooled, break into small pieces.
While the bacon cooks, thaw and squeeze the spinach dry. Chop the onion and bell pepper with a knife and cutting board. Shred the Swiss Cheese. Set aside until ready to use.
Using the same skillet, saute chopped onion and bell pepper in the bacon grease until tender. Drain off the excess grease. Stir in the spinach.
Spoon spinach mixture into the bottom of the pastry.
In a small bowl, combine eggs, cottage cheese, shredded Swiss cheese and seasonings. Pour over spinach mixture.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for ten minutes before cutting. May serve with sour cream. This recipe serves 6-8 people.
