recipes to make with a head of cabbage

We have a fun family tradition of hunting for “road cabbage!” When cabbage is in season, we’ll often see trucks going by loaded with cabbage heads. Naturally, some of them fall off – and that’s when we spring into action! We grab our share of “road cabbage” to use in some of our favorite cabbage recipes (obviously we wash it first). From cabbage rolls to soups to runzas, these recipes are all delicious meals our family loves. Not only is cabbage a tasty addition to a recipe, but it’s also a healthy option when you’re craving comfort food. Check out these cabbage recipes that help you use up a head of cabbage!
