Southern Cross Guest Ranch
Dubbed by Travel + Leisure Magazine as “one of American’s best dude ranches,” Southern Cross Guest Ranch is a place where horse lovers, wellness seekers, and nature enthusiasts unite to reset and recharge. The ranch, founded and still operated by Inga and her family, boasts not only a renowned horse farm and bed & breakfast but also a restaurant that has become an attraction on its own. Inga can still be found occasionally in the kitchen alongside their talented staff, ensuring each dish maintains the authentic flavors and warmth that define Southern Cross.
When asked what recipe they wanted to share from Inga’s cookbook for our swap, the staff at Southern Cross took a vote. This Cabbage Casserole recipe is the unanimous favorite.
