The internet’s new obsession: dumplings, lettuce, cabbage. Don’t knock it till you try it.

👋 Happy Friday,

Not every viral recipe is a win (looking at you, butter board).
But this week’s three actually deserve their screen time — simple, bold, and surprisingly addictive.

Here’s what’s been blowing up feeds (and kitchens) lately 👇

1. One-Pan Baked Dumplings

Golden, crispy dumplings baked instead of pan-fried; easy cleanup, same perfect bite.

Crispy edges, juicy filling, zero splatter. Clearly a winner.

2. Iceberg Lettuce Salad

The crisp, crunchy comeback no one saw coming. It’s cold, fresh, and loaded with a lemony garlic vinaigrette dressing that makes you forget every sad salad you’ve ever had.

Add crispy bacon, shredded cheese, or even croutons if you’re feeling chaotic — that crunch is the whole point.

3. Baked Cabbage Boil

Think shrimp boil energy, minus the seafood and fuss. Chunks of cabbage boiled (in the oven) in butter, garlic, Cajun seasoning, and a little broth until tender and loaded with flavor.

It’s smoky, savory, and the ultimate “didn’t-see-that-coming” comfort food.

Food Fact of The Day

Cabbage is one of the oldest vegetables on record. It’s been cultivated for over 4,000 years, and the ancient Greeks used it as a hangover cure. (Science still pending on that one.)
