Cabbage can be so incredibly delicious… if you cook it right! This Paleo Bacon and Garlic Cabbage is the simplest, most delicious way to make cabbage.
This recipe was one of my first 5 recipes on my blog. It makes me a little emotional to think it’s been two years now that I’ve been posting my life through food images.
For this recipe, I remember grabbing random items at the Farmer’s Market and having a night of cooking with my best friend Elizabeth. We cooked 4 different dishes, and I posted them all that week. At the time, I loved the images, and thought my posts were perfect. Little did I know, I’d be rephotographing them in the future and rewriting the posts. It’s bittersweet.
This recipe is extremely delicious because if it wasn’t I wouldn’t be making it again! These baby cabbages came back in season and showed up again at the Covington Farmer’s Market. When my dad bought me a few, I couldn’t think of any other way I wanted to enjoy them.
I suggest you try to buy local vegetables, ifpossible. Sometimes I try to brush this detail off,because of the dish I’m making or something I am craving. But then when I taste local food, I remember how much more flavor is packed into the vegetables! It truly does make a difference.
If you are trying to convince someone to like cabbage, make them this recipe! If you don’t have small cabbage you can cut the cabbage into slices and top it with bacon and garlic and olive oil.

I am really enjoying the blog and the recipes. (The bacon and garlic cabbage sounds amazing!) I have been fairly faithful in following the Paleo diet for about 10 days now and have lost about 3 lbs. I am still struggling a great deal with the need for sweets and have probably had more fruits (and oopses) than I really should. But the cravings are easing.
The testimonials are encouraging. I know Kevin and watched his progress so I know the diet works. I’m looking forward to more great recipes. Keep up the good work!
p.s. I’d love to know where you find good tuna.Reply

Hey Charlene,
I am so glad you have been following the blog, and that’s great that you’ve been following the diet as well. I’m glad the cravings are easing, the longer you stay away from sugars and carbs the more the cravings will disappear. I find my tuna at Pat’s seafood. It’s delicious!Reply

Tasty! I sautéed some garlic in olive oil so it would be easy to pour on. Couldn’t figure out how to get the garlic on there evenly if not sautéed. I’d already cooked my bacon, otherwise I’d have taken your suggestion. This is a great way to sneak more veggies in my diet. Thank you.
