It doesn't end there!! ...(pulled pork w/ slaw and easy egg rolls)

So you enjoyed my stuffed cabbage sooooooooo much you have decided to really explore this yummy vitamin packed veggie and you have plenty left over to do so! This is exactly why cabbage is so amazing...one head of cabbage yields minimum 3 meals...So here are two more ways you can utilize the rest of that cabbage and enhance one of my weekday favorites...(Pms-friendly) Pulled Pork Sandwiches the sauce for this is tangy and sweet and salty and the best part...there's chocolate in there as well as a bit of sherry accompanied by some homade coleslaw! And for a change of pace ,amazingly easy Egg rolls with my special honey-chili dipping sauce!!!! (Including the stuffed cabbage you have three meals combined that will cost under $20 and will feed 4-6 people!!! This week pork loin was on sale at Stop and Shop so I grabbed one for $5.00 and then I grabbed egg roll wrappers for like $2.99 and the ground beef from yesterday was only $5.34 and then the herbs and stewed tomatoes fresh ginger and celery and onions and carrots)So start by shredding the entire head of cabbage you have left and seprate into two storage containers... one will be used for the slaw and one for the egg rolls!

Pulled pork 
1 pork loin(on sale)                              1/2 cup Sherry
1/2 cup ketchup                                    1/2cup brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar                    1tbsp cocoa powder
1 package pulled pork seasoning dry      1onion diced
 In slow cooker combine everything except pork loin stir well add pork and cover with sauce. Put the cover on and set for low (4-6 hours) Until Pork falls apart with touch of fork pull pork apart and make sure you really mix in sauce. Turn off heat and keep covered. Serve on your favorite rolls...

Homemade Coleslaw

1/2 cup shredded celery                      1 tbsp fresh ginger shredded
1/2 cup shredded carrots                     Oyster sauce
1/2 cup shredded scallions                   2 cups peanut oil
In bowl combine all the shredded veggies. Lay out egg roll wrappers and spread oyster sauce on them and then place large spoon full of mixture on the wrappers and then wrap.(if not familiar there are drawings on back of packages on how to wrap the egg rolls)place on plate and then in fridge for one hour.
