December 10  I made a side this time

Red Cabbage and Apples

3 Tbsp of Butter
2 Medium unpeeled tart cooking apples-sliced , I use granny smith
1 head of red cabbage coarsly shredded
1/4 cup of water
1/4 cup (or more) red wine vinegar or rice vinegar you can mix if you like.  You might need to taste so you know whether to add more vinegar.
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardomen
1/2 tsp all spice


Melt butter over medium heat in a 5 quart cooking pot.  Add apples cook about 5 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Stir in remaining ingredients.  Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer 35-40 minutes. Make sure there is no crunch left in the cabbage.

I served this with a white fish smothered in capers in juice, chopped combination olives, greek, green, black with pimentos and chopped dill.  Then pour Kraft (or any brand) Zesty Italian salad dressing over.  You want to get a small glass baking dish to lay your fish in to cook in a 425 degree oven.  Or what I Love to do is cook this on the grill.  You will take Aluminum foil and shape in a square by pinching the corners and making a lip all the way around and that will slide on your gas grill.  Cook on high for about 8-10 minutes.
Add a scoop of mashed potatoes as well so it will cut some of the acid from both of the dishes.

There you have a dinner with just starting with a side.

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
