There are endless possibilities when making paleo foods and the truth is, I enjoy how our food tastes now better than I ever did during our pre-paleo days. Nothing is better than fresh veggies soaking up delicious spices and tender bites of meat. Well; nothing food related that is… Today’s lunch was pretty much mouth watering from beginning to end and I hope you all enjoy this meal as much as we did!
Sausage N’ Cabbage “Noodles”
1 lb mild Italian pork sausage or other ground meat of your choice
1 red onion, thinly sliced
½ head or 5 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
2 tablespoons grass fed butter (or ghee, or coconut oil)
½ teaspoon caraway seeds
½ teaspoon paprika
Fresh ground black pepper and sea salt to taste
In a large skillet brown the sausage. Once the sausage is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and set aside. Add the butter to the same pan with the sausage drippings and add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes or until the onions start to brown a bit. Add the cabbage and cook for another 7-10 minutes or until the cabbage is soft and “noodle-y.” Add the sausage back to the pan, add the spices, mix well and serve! Serves 4.
Fried Apples
3-4 small organic apples, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
¼ cup raisins
½ tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons canned full fat coconut milk
In a medium sized saute pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the apples and saute for about 5 minutes or until they start to soften. Add the raisins and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add the cinnamon, mix well and add the coconut milk. Stir the coconut milk in with the apples just until warm and serve. Serves 4.
Enjoy!

Huge success at my house! Everyone enjoyed all of it! They were all so full from the sausage and cabbage they hardly had room for the apples, so some of the apples became part of lunch the next day. My kids are waiting for me to make more fried apples already- It’s only been two days!
I modified the Sausage and cabbage noodles…..I used lean ground chuck, thin sliced cabbage for the noodles. Sprinkled Italian seasoning over the meat, salt and pepper to taste, and browned the meat. Then add the cabbage, chopped onion, and Ragu Sauce. Simmer all until the cabbage is tender…YUMMY!
I made this tonight. It was a big hit among my 4 boys. I skipped the apples because I only have one. But the boys have asked me to make it again, so we’ll add the apples next time.
So glad you all liked the dish! This is one of our favorites too. : )
This was soo good! My husband and I both loved it! I made it tonight exactly like the recipe (but added mushrooms). I even bought the caraway seeds (which I had no idea what they were before).
Very very flavorful… Definitely would recommend and will make again!
… I just bought your book, “Everyday Paleo” and I have shared this recipe with many of my friends at work and on Sparkpeople.com, many who are transitioning to the Paleo lifestyle…
I am cooking the sausage right now and preparing this dish today!… I absolutely love this meal. I have been doing Paleo since June 2011 and I can honestly say that I really enjoy this lifestyle… Thanks for sharing your recipes!!!!
