Cabbage and Eggs

Simple Cabbage and Eggs – This quick, easy, and wallet-friendly meal has become my favorite recipe to make for lunch or a light dinner!

Hello, dear readers.

I feel sad that I haven’t been able to give this blog the attention it deserves the past year or so, as this blog is like my fifth baby!

2020 has been one of the hardest years of my life. I’m sure that’s the case for many of you as well.

While the political and worldly aspects are definitely stressful, I’ve personally been trying to overcome an onslaught of health issues.

Shortly after Miki’s birth, I began experiencing a great deal of pain along with myriad other symptoms, and it has yet to resolve itself. I’m currently in the process of trying to figure out exactly what’s happening.

I tell you this not for sympathy, but to help you understand my absence here. I’ve mentioned some of this before, but I guess I wanted to update you all a bit and let you know that I’m still working on things.

I’ll never abandon this blog!

It has been such a huge part of my adult life, and I will always treasure it. I appreciate each and every one of you that has subscribed and actually read what I write.

The intimacy of blogs, food blogs in particular, seems to be a thing of the past. It’s all about rank now, which saddens me, as many of my favorites have removed the personalization that drew me to them to begin with.

On Oatmeal with a Fork, I hope to never lose that.

Some of you have been with me for years, and I so value the ‘relationships’ I’ve built with you. It is my goal to get better, and post more of the recipes I have created this past year!

Simply cabbage and eggs

Today’s recipe is one of those simple meals that seemed almost TOO simple to post, but it’s so good!

I’ve been enjoying this immensely lately as either a quick lunch or light dinner. The other night, I paired it with a quinoa salad, which made a very nice complement!
