Last night's dinner

Sounds yummy. But as Fred pointed out, when do you put the cabbage in? Why is high in sodium?

Hi, Joyce, I made this last night for my husband and he loved it. Thanks for posting. I left out the
cheese and I did add some vinegar at the table to give it a more sweet and sour taste. I can
guarantee that I will be making this again. Take Care Catherine

This looks great! I know my family would love it. One question - where does the cabbage go? first on
the bottom of the pan or mixed in with the beef. Thanks.

DOH! No you didn't miss a step - it appears that I did. <g> Ok, here's what I did with the
cabbage ...

After all the spices, soup and stuff have been added and mixed to the ground beef
- figure out which bowl is larger ... the one with the nuked cabbage in it or the one with the beef
slop. Mix cabbage and beef together in the largest! THEN put it into the baking dish. LOL

You don't have to nuke the cabbage if you don't want to. I did, only because I had someone say that
it didn't cook in the specified amount of time - so I helped it along a bit. <G>

Cabbage and meat mixture get tossed together just before putting into the baking pan (after meat and
spices/soups have been mixed). Mastercook *says* each serving has 1083mg sodium, which to me is
really high. I didn't seem to suffer the consequences on the scale today though - so who knows. I
imagine it's that high because of the soup, worcestershire, salt, tomatoes and bouillon. Might be
able to lower it by using lower sodium products ... or substituting tomato sauce for the soup?

Vinegar sounds like a great additon! I also thought I'd skip the cheese next time, isn't really
necessary and adds very little to the recipe. I still have half the batch sitting in the fridge,
looks like I know what I'll be having for lunch this week-end. <g> Glad you liked it!

heheehe - it was brought to my attention that I forgot to mention where to add the cabbage. LOL I
mixed the beef, sauce, spices up well - then added the cabbage to the mixture and stirred it up
again. THEN put it all into the baking dish. It makes a bunch - I think we are doing leftovers for
dinner, unless hub comes up with a more enticing idea.

mixed it up.

I also think many of the TJ's items are carried locally. There have been many things others have
mentioned that I have never been able to find in my store. Would you like me to send you the empty
box from the lasagna? Maybe you could show it to your store manager and see if it is something they
would carry? I'd try to send you the entire package, not too sure how to go about dry ice packing
though. <g>

Thanks. I thought it might get layered on form the bottom to get cooked through and pick up the
other flavors. Mixed works.

The only lasagna I saw at Trader Joes was a spinach but it has 18 grams of fat. I think some of
their offerings are localized. I saw stuff in Tucson I do not see here.

Joyce said:

DOH! No you didn't miss a step - it appears that I did. <g> Ok, here's what I did with the
cabbage ...

After all the spices, soup and stuff have been added and mixed to the ground beef
- figure out which bowl is larger ... the one with the nuked cabbage in it or the one with the
beef slop. Mix cabbage and beef together in the largest! THEN put it into the baking dish. LOL

You don't have to nuke the cabbage if you don't want to. I did, only because I had someone say
that it didn't cook in the specified amount of time - so I helped it along a bit. <G>

Did I miss a step on this cold and chilly morning - where did you add the cabbage to the final
result? Of course this will not come close to grandma's stuffed cabbage but....

That's okay. The cabbage recipe seems to be something I am going to make. It just sounds fine.
Lasagna will just have to wait. Or I will look again.

Tonight's dinner has started out odd and continues in that vain. I was going to have the rest of the
rice and teriaki chicken from yesterday' lunch and then decided to save that for when I get home
from skiing tomorrw. So I have thrown a white potato and sweet potato into the toaster over and have
already had my salad and broccoli and cauliflower and then my sardines - one potato or the other to
follow or maybe half of each!

I've got a can of sardines (canned in water) in the cupboard, have been thinking lately that I'd
like sardines, so may have them for lunch today. How do you fix yours Fred? I usually just have them
either on plain bread with salt and pepper or sometimes add a bit of ketchup. I know! The ketchup
spoils the taste.... oh well, I don't do it often! ps. My brother eats ketchup on everything!

It sounds like things I tend to do when fixing only for myself ... also sounds like maybe you didn't
quite know what you really had a taste for. <g> If alone I tend to graze on lighter items, cleaning
out the fridge of the tidbits of leftovers. I can't decide if todays lunch is going to be the rest
of the cabbage stuff, or the 1/2c of broccoli and 2 oz chicken breast from fri. nights dinner. I
hate making decisions, but do want to clean out the fridge since tomorrow is garbage day. <g>

just eat them - sometimes straight out of the can. These are in olive oil altho I drain them as best
as I can. I use to mash them with finely diced onion - the way my dad loved them but that take
effort (G)

I like ketchup but not on sardines - yech. Altho, they do come in tomato sauce.

I sometimes mash them with onion as well. They are good that way. I guess liking them with ketchup
is something I picked up from my dad, but then he does eat some weird stuff. One of his favorites is
sardines, cheese and strawberry jam sandwiches. Yech!!!
