I love recipes. I have a cookbook addiction and I probably get 6-7 cooking magazines every month. I love food, and I love great recipes.

I love skillet dinners – they’re fast and tasty – and for the most part economical. You can extend this Kielbasa & Cabbage Kielbasa Skillet recipe can feed a family of 4 even with only half a ring of kielbasa by adding more cabbage to this recipe. My mom makes a version with potatoes – […]
