When I saw you cut out that cabbage core, I laughed cause it reminded me of when we were kids and we would fight over who would get to eat it first. Sometimes the four of us would irritate momma some much she would stop and go upside our heads with a magazine. Then she would cut the cores into four pieces, put salt and pepper on them, and we would think we were in heaven. This would happen every time she cooked cabbage. Funny how food brings up happy memories from childhood. I love your videos. Keep them coming♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️!

I love cabbage and roast, with mashed potatoes and jiffy cornbread. My grandmother use to make that. One of my best memories. It would be so good.

Here's to all the Moms who taught us how to cook, cause I know my Mom was absolutely the best cook there was! 🏆

Love the channel! My parents were deep southerners from North and South Carolina. When it came to cooking cabbage it was simple. Bacon fat or some kind of pork fat, cut up cabbage, salt and pepper and depending on how my mother felt that day, maybe a "pinch" of sugar. Like her homemade cornbread she didn't add sugar to her yellow or white corn meal mix. In her already heated cast iron skillet along with her fat she'd place in the seasoning first on low heat to make those flavors come out, then add her cabbage. After a bit she'd stir her cabbage and let them fry for a bit allowing the goodness of the cabbage water to render out as the cabbage wilted. Then she would remove the fat meat (placing them on a plate for us kids to make a sandwich later )and add a little water. Lord have mercy, I can still hear the sizzle and smell the cabbage. She'd lower her heat to a simmer place a lid ontop and all us kids had to do was wait. Cornbread, Lake trout fish, cabbage and ice tea or Kool Aide . Memories! Tip. After cutting up or slicing her cabbage she always separated each cabbage layer. This made much more than leaving them in chunks or thick slices.

I am a Latina mother with biracial children. They are half African American and Puerto Rican. Aside from my Hispanic dishes, my children enjoy their soul and southern food as well. I enjoyed the time you took to explain this video and I appreciate the listing and showing of ingredients. ❤ I will most definitely cook this today 😊

Love how you give basic instructions not assuming that we all have cooking skills thank you so much💕

Looks yummy just made this last night for supper but i caramelize my 2 large onions in butter then add my baked bacon cut up and added that to my onions and then my desired herbs and cabbage 😋 yum

I love your Moms cabbage. Instead of water I use a stick of butter and everything else you did. Just FABULOUS.

Cooking cabbage has always been a hit or miss for me. I made your recipe last night and I loved that it was not too soggy. I didn’t have roast garlic base so I used a little roast onion chicken base with fresh garlic. Bacon grease is a must have for this recipe. My husband told me, you sure do love me all because I cooked him some cabbage. Lol!! 😂😂😂. Thank you for your simple recipe it taste just like my mom’s. ❤️

I love a cook who's really a chef that doesn't measure

Ms. Donna I cut and fry my bacon and after the bacon is cook then I put my cabbage, onion, bell pepper, salt, black pepper, onion powder and sugar. Sometimes I cook with smoke neck bones and cabbage. Its good. Like you said some people can't cook but I love watching you and dude#1❤

Thank you so much because my grandma used to make fried cabbage when I was a child and I didn’t know how she did it. I remembered it was sweet and had a meaty flavor and yours looks very similar to hers. And she always had bacon grease on hand as well 😉.

I chop red bell peppers, green , chopped red onions fine and the rest is like my grandmother's. Yes Donna you are correct Cabbage has alot of water in it.

We had fried cabbage all the time, growing up, and I still make it. I always ate the core with a little salt, when I was little!

Hi Ms. Donna ! 🙂 I certainly enjoyed watching you make fried cabbage and listening to your comments... too funny ! 🤣 Thank you for cooking with authority and grace. You make it so simple, but fun ! 👍 Blessings to you and your family ! 🙏

Jamon seasoning is my secret ingredient in my collards and cabbage. I love when I see that other people use it like it’s some big secret of mine, lol. Love your channel ❤️

Ms. Donna. You make me very proud to be a southerner. I'm from Georgia. Your cooking is very similar to the great food that I grew up on. ❤

Mushy, I use those green outer leaves cut them to size , cooked them first because they were a little tough, bacon grease and occasionally a red bell pepper in a cast iron pan

Made your Mamas cabbage recipe just like you taught me! Girl I ate the whole skillet full! It was so good! Thank you for teaching me how!🙌🏼🎈

I made cooked cabbage today! My recipe is a little different- no green pepper or sugar, but 3 onions instead of one. I also boil wide eggs noodles. Once both are cooked, I mix them together and add some butter. Each family was their own recipe, but it's fun to see other takes on a basic meal.

I love cabbage cooked like this. I like to add a little extra “la-de-da”, whole pods of okra laid on top during the steaming. Serve it with some “chow-chow” relish.

I made a Cream Cheese Pound Cake for Thanksgiving and I tried Creme Bouquet for the first time. It gave my cake an extra kick. I love it! Thanks for sharing.

LOVE the container of bacon grease...brought back great memories of my great-grandparents and their cooking...kept the grease in an old coffee can...great recipe!

I had a small cabbage that had to be cooked. I went looking for a method, and found this video. I transcribed the ingredients and the instructions for your edification: Ingredients: 1/2 cup broth or water 1 small-med onion 1/2 bell pepper 1 small head of cabbage Salt Pepper Garlic powder Onion Powder Red Pepper Flakes Goya Jamon Seasoning packet Sugar (2 spoonfuls) Dollop of Bacon Fat Instructions: Add broth to pan and heat on low-medium. Remove outer leaves from Cabbage, cut it in half, then remove the core section Cut each Cabbage halves in 4 pieces each, then slice crosswise to make strips Wash strips in a colander, then add to skillet with the sliced Onion and Pepper Add the seasonings, Sugar and Bacon Fat Cover and simmer at medium heat ("5" on an electric range) for 10 minutes Remove cover and toss the Cabbage in the skillet Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, then serve I left out the sugar, Goya seasoning, and the bacon fat. As it so happens I have the exact same brand broth concentrate as Donna, except I have the "Roasted Chicken Base" flavor. In addition to Garlic Powder, I also used other seasonings from my spice rack. Additionally, I had browned and seasoned some chop meat (to which I added some shredded gruyere cheese) before cooking the cabbage. Adding the hot cabbage to the cooled chop meat/cheese mixture melted the cheese and warmed the meat. This combo dish was great (using Donna's Mom's method of preparing the cabbage) and I'll be enjoying the rest of it another day . . . !

This is EXACTLY how I grew up making cabbage! I was laughing as I watched because thought you were going to do something different from what I was taught, but nope, you did it the same way. Great video! Christ blessings to you!

Hi Donna. Waiting for my daughter...Promised not to watch without her...You know it's an EVENT!!!!

All I need is some cornbread with it and we in business I love me some cabbage..🥰🥰

My favorite way to eat cabbage is when bell peppers are cooked in them. By the way Donna, I just love your show.

I have to say it's wonderful seeing how tight your families love is. I lost my mother when I was 9 I found her uncouncious last time I saw her alive. I never got to send any birthday or mothersday cards take her to dinner or have her hold her grandchildren. so seeing your family remember your mom everyday keeps it real for me.

Ordered my creme bouquet, bought my Swan's Down cake flour, & strawberry syrup & my 10 quart pound cake pan from Williams Sonoma. Settled on Strawberry pound cake for Thanksgiving. Thanks Mrs. Donna!

I love everything you cook and bake and your husband I look forward to seeing him because he is lovable and funny and he really loves you and your cooking, now that's what you call a real man and I love how he supports you so keep cooking and pleasing your husband

I always cook the core with the rest of the cabbage. It turns out really tender & tasty. I just bought a cabbage the other day. The bin was full of cabbages the size of grapefruit. This grocery always has the cleanest veggies I've ever seen. All the soft outer leaves we throw away had been removed.

I love your cooking. I think in this day and age with food prices skyrocketing, it is more important than ever to make these tasty, nutritious, economical meals and introduce it to young people. Many have been raised on expensive, fast food void of nutrition and full of chemicals. I think the current food crisis with families is terrible, but maybe it will force them to eat meals like this instead of $6 boxes of cereal or fast food. Thank you. You are a blessing.

Love cabbage!!!! This one I will try .Sis N Law good luck on making for Mrs Donna brother.. You have the best teacher !! Blessing sent !!😇🤗

Thanks sista, your brother and I just finished watching this, needless to say I will be in the kitchen before the week is out preparing this.

We just finished watching. The cabbage really looks tasty. I going to try this recipe soon.

Looks so good. My grand mother use to cut up white potatoes in the cabbage , and it was delicious. My grown children love it. thanks for sharing.

I love your warmth of energy. Thanks for the video.

Cabbage & Ginger bread pound cake is on my Thanksgiving menu. I searched the world over last year looking for gingerbread cookies. This gingerbread cake is right on time thanks for sharing

Lady Donna, I love me some cabbage and yours looks so delicious. However; I did not know you can put sugar in cabbage. Wow, that's taking it to the next level with some cornbread. Thank you for this delicious 😋 recipe. Stay safe.

As a baby boomer this was the only way to eat a real home cooked meal. My mom was a true blue 50's type meal cooking mom. And I cook and prepare the same type of meals that I helped her prepare and cook.

I just love watching you cook in your own way! You really seem to put love into caring for your family and that comes through in your videos! What a lovely lady you are and a caring sister in law and sister! It is very rare these days for young women to take to cooking like you do and you are such a good example for cooking clean healthy food! I could not find your videos because I couldn't remember your name! But for some reason today God graced me with your video and I am subscribed and will go back and watch all your recipes. This was a blessing for me today!

You are so blessed with such a loving mom. You are living proof of how awesome she is. I made her macoroni and cheese with cheddar and mozzarella it’s the best! Thanks for sharing with us who were not as fortunate, your Mom would be proud.

You are just a joy! You brought back memories of being in my Gram’s farm kitchen, with the cabbage she just cut in “ the patch” ( what she called the vegetable garden). She sometimes made it in a buttery cream sauce. That was also delicious. Thank you so much

Just getting this in my feed. My mom passed away in 2021. She was a farmer/gardener and apparently an ag researcher. Long story short, we found some of her "research" journals. Now, our fam is totally into Soul Food or as she called it "Food for the Soul" incl herbs/tree bark teas & headache remedies she learned from her great aunts!

Donna, your cooking techniques, cleanliness, spices etc. are just the way my Grandmom, myself and many great cooks I know cook. You are absolutely fantastic the way you explain and teach those who may not know how to cook and season food. It takes yrs. to be a great cook. Many people cannot do both prepare food that's good and desserts too. My Grandmom was a chef and I learned from her. There are several ways to prepare dishes and you do a excellent job. I agree, you can never ever wash your hands enough and also remember, remove rings when kneading bread I have a thing about people wearing rings when handling pastry dough.

Very well organized Mrs Donna.. I use the majority of the ingredients you are getting ready to add in your cabbage 🥬. Look delicious and I know it is delicious... 😊

🦋YAY!!! 80K and moving!!! Thank you for that awesome cabbage recipe and explaining the simplicity of very good homemade cooking!!💕

I fixed the cabbage for New Years day and my family enjoyed it. Thanks for the contribution.

I like looking at your old and new videos. I made cabbage today. Husband loves it with his picky eating self. ❤

Yes! That is how my Mom and Grandma did it! 😍😍😍

I Love Cabbage‼️💜😋 As usual you out did yourself Ms. Donna👌 Thank you for sharing, it is ALWAYS a Pleasure!!!!💯🥰

As a old Vietnam vet raised up in South Florida you bring back memories of Miss Maggie Miss Mozelle and Mister Tillman, I surely have enjoyed you teaching me how to cook ma'am I'll be doing the fried cabbage tonight. May the Lord bless you and your fine family

Thank you Donna for teaching me how to cook cabbage. I’m a single senior man and It came out delicious. God bless you!

My Mom boiled it a few times.I didn't eat fried cabbage until my 50's!!I love it with garlic and onions too.I also pour acv on it.

I love to make fried cabbage with bacon and sausage and onions.

Miss Donna, your momma taught you good. Steamed cabbage is the only way to go! Those folks that boil cabbage just don't understand. I bet that is delicious.

I love. LOVE. cabbage. Thank you for this recipe.

I love your delivery! It's like being with a friend! And thank you for telling people to wash their hands! I'm off to cook my cabbage!

Hey Donna! That cabbage looks delish! I love cabbage made just like this! Yummy!!😊

Yum ...I love cabbage. Pretty much how I make it but the pepper flakes which I will now add. What a great addition. Yummy

I used this recipe for the first time I made cabbage. It came out excellent. Husband was very pleased. Thank you.

Makes me long for my mom, she made great meals look so easy. Beautiful.

Wow. First time making this recipe and it came out soooo good. I didn’t have the ham seasoning so I added ripped up pieces of bacon. So good. Cabbage had perfect crunch and flavor was delicious!

Love Fried cabbage, it’s the bacon grease and sugar that’s the secret. 😉 Looks delicious!❤️. Perfection, Donna! 👍

I've never seen cabbage cooked before. This is now my standard. Thank you much.

Memories. We raised cabbage and ate it often. The core was my favorite and as the youngest of 7 children, I had to wait my turn.❤️

I tried this recipe for a homegoing repass and everyone loved it! There were no leftovers 😭🤣. Thank you so much Miss Donna!

Love, love cabbage!!! My grandmother and aunts cooked it just like this, with a hint of sugar. Along with the cast iron cornbread. Yum!!! Keep us updated with your Sis making it for your brother🤗

Ms Donna I just love you and your family. You take me back to the hood ol days.

I love you, sister! God bless you and your home and family! Thank you for your lovely instruction!💕

This is a delicious wholesome recipe thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing your family recipe! It looks soooo good. I’m excited to mix up my cabbage routine. Normally I add the same chicken base with a little rice vinegar and a dash of sesame oil and garlic. I would like to learn how you prepare red cabbage. That’s one of my favorite side dishes for Christmas dinner :)

I just love your Spirit ✨✨ Ms. Donna 😇🙏🏾 I pray blessings over you and your family ❤️ I'm Cooking my first batch of Cabbage today for the first time BY MYSELF😮 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 Pray 4 me 😊

Love the cabbage because I do love a little crunch in my cabbage.. beautiful

Thank You❤I'm going to try this for this cabbage 😋 it's different.. I like change❤❤❤❤❤

Looks so delicious😋 I am a cabbage lover and so is my husband so I will be making this recipe today. Just saw the cornbread video so I think I'll try out my cast iron skillet too. Donna my girl, you're helping me figure out dinner. Thank you so much❤

Looks delicious all I need is a green pepper and that better than bouillon and I will make this today.

Thank you for telling us the burner setting. So many I watch do not and that’s key to a perfect recipe. Love your channel.

I'm going to make my cabbage just like this from now on! I just have a real problem trying to cut it. That's why I don't cook it that often. I loved how you added the sausage for your Dude #1. Yummy!!! 😋❤❤❤❤❤

Love your cooking, your spirit & your family’s involvement. This makes for a great experience for me while I’m cooking. (And I wear dresses & an apron! Got to keep it cute. We want husbands, but sometimes we forget how we got them.) Anyway,I feel like I got my sister in the kitchen with me just by your voice. I have constant pain & somehow I don’t notice it so much with you in my kitchen with me! Also, I’m loving Darlene. Just ordered from her for the 4th time.Thanks for the referral 🙏🏽 Keep bringing us the good stuff! Love from Summerfield NC❤️

Hello, today is August 18, 2022. At 12am I made your momma's biscuits & they turn out great. Now it's 9:21 am & I am making your cabbage while I right these words. I always add sliced carrots to my cabbage but I only had shredded carrots so I used those. I went by your recipe the thing different is that I added the 🥕's. Also I am getting ready to make your corn bread in a few minutes. I really appreciate your recipes. Your way of cooking is very awesome. When I saw you cry when you made your Mama's biscuits I started crying also because my deceased Mama & my auntie Rebecca both use to make make good biscuits & cornbread. Thanks for sharing God bless you forever more.

Your Mom’s recipe looks amazing! I’m trying it very soon!

Yep! That’s how my mom made her cabbage as well. Sadly, my body does not agree with cabbage anymore 😡😞☹️ cuz I love me some cabbage and cornbread. Thanks, love you guys❤️❤️

Cabbage is one of my favorite veggies especially the way our moms made it thanks for sharing

Thank you I just made your cabbage and it's delicious my husband bought a very large Cabbage couple days ago and I thought I can't make this but I looked at your recipe and I made it just a minute ago, it came out very well now I know how to make it taste really good thank you and your mom.

Sis!!! Was about to upload my vid, and saw you! Stopped me in my tracks!! Love your presentation, love your recipe. I think my mom and your mom knew ea other! Lol great job sis. New Fam here! Blessings your way!

Love cabbage 😁 Thank you so much 👍. And cornbread next yes please

I feel so validated after watching this. Often I will make a mean out of just cabbage and add a protein to it. A lot of times I do sausage and brown it a bit and remove it, then I do basically everything you did. Same seasonings, same method, even the same texture. Not too crunchy, not too soft and not soupy. Then just add the meat back in at the end and simmer until done. Thank you!!! ❤❤❤

My Granny added cooked home made noodles to her cabbage. A depression era trick to stretch a meal. Anxious to make this. Thanks Donna!

I appreciate you showing me how to cut it up cuz I always have my husband cut up the cabbage but I need to do it myself today thank you
