Maple Bacon Cabbage

Try this Maple Bacon Cabbage recipe! Roasted cabbage wedges with crispy bacon and a homemade maple Dijon dressing. Easy, flavorful, gluten-free side dish for fall dinners, Thanksgiving, or meal prep. #vegetableside #cabbagerecipes #shutterbean

I wish I could tell my younger self that one day I’d be really into Maple Bacon Cabbage. The kind of into it where I make it twice in one week and happily eat most of it myself.  Middle-aged me simply cannot resist charred cabbage with BACON and a sweet dijon drizzle.

This recipe is adapted from Bon Appétit. I saw it in the magazine last week and realized I had everything except shallots and cabbage. I grabbed a cabbage at the store and completely spaced on the shallots. Oof. Luckily, I had a red onion at home (which I almost always do) and honestly? It worked out just fine. Maybe someday I’ll be the kind of person who reliably buys shallots. Check back in with me in 10 years.

Hello! Week 44! I love a double digit, don’t you? I am currently typing this up at 1:11 AM.  Make a wish. 

I got caught up doing an art project (It’s on my bucket list!) and got hyper-focused.  I’ll share pictures of what I’m working on in My Everyday Life this week. Let’s get down to business.

This week, I am going to start shipping out Currently Workbooks. I’m doing it in batches with perks! In this round, the first 50 orders will get my meal planning zine. (thank you!)
