Farm Box Special--Cabbage and Beef Stew
I am not a huge group coupon user, but when a recent deal came up to have organic fruits and vegetables delivered to my door for half price, I could not resist! One of the beautiful pieces of produce I got was a HUGE head of cabbage. I racked my brain for uses and I remembered my mother's Beef and Cabbage Stew that she used to make all of the time when we were kids. I have not had it in ages, and I figured, why not. It came out quite delicious and I know it will be perfect for those cool GA winter nights.
