I fallen in love with cabbage!
Yes cabbage, I remember as kid my grandmother, affectionately referred to as Granny use to make red cabbage slaw and braised red cabbage all the
time. It took me a while to reconnect with this veggie, but now that I have I love it. Here is a twist on a her recipe.
Braised Cabbage
- 1/2 head green cabbage
- 1/2 head red cabbage
- 2 T mustard (Dijon or Grey Poupon)
- 1/2 c chicken broth
- 1/4 c balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 t nutmeg
Simmer in a pot for 40 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
I know what you are thinking you should only eat cabbage on St. Patrick’s day or only if you are Irish, but cabbage has a lot of health benefits.
- helps fight ulcers
- promotes women’s health by helping to metabolize estrogen
- protection against Alzheimer’s

Most of you work in a compnay that may have multiple floors. So, instead of using the elevators try using the stairs. (Provided for security measures haven’t closed them) You will burn about calories per trip up the stairs. Hold on.. before you say SO WHAT! If you took the elevator how many calories would you burn? If you had to go up and down the stairs 5 times you would burn 100 calories! Now image if you did this everyday Monday – Friday you’d burn 500 calories in 1 work week! Now that’s something. Try this for a week and let me know how you make out.
Raise your hands if had to grocery shop. It’s okay do, but I have gotten it down to science and can get in out of the store in 30 minutes. Yep, 30 minutes. I can go faster at a Stop and Shop that has the self scanner, wear I scan and pack my groceries while I shop only stopping at the checkout to pay. HOLLA, that is the best invention for me.
March is National Frozen Food Month, yes its true. I not sure if you use frozen vegetables as much as I do, but its my main source of vegetables. Primarily because I really like fresh, fresh food and I can’t guarantee that I will use fresh vegetables before they before a science experiment in my fridge. Does that sound like you?
Yes, it’s an actual holiday and dates back hundreds of years. Those crazy Europeans. In Ireland they use to have pancake races where women would race flipping pancakes. Back then it was called Shrove Tuesday.
