Cabbage is good!


There are so many reasons to add more cabbage to you diet! Like other green vegetables, it is good source of many essential vitamins such as riboflavin, pantothenic acid, and thiamin. 
It is also a very natural source of electrolytes and minerals like calcium, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, iron and magnesium, which can help control heart rate and blood pressure. Iron is required for red blood cell formation and is an important mineral for expecting mothers as it helps in avoiding anemia.

Here are two easy ways to add cabbage to your meals!

Roast it! Slice it and lay the slices flat on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic and salt and pepper!

So easy and so good!



 I also really like my cabbage sauteed with pretty much anything! This was an easy lunch just sauteed cabbage and chicken seasoned with salt and pepper and garlic!


And an simple clean coleslaw recipe always hits the spot!
You just need-
Cabbage
carrots (optional)
Apple Cider vinegar
olive oil
drizzle of real maple syrup
salt 
pepper
and garlic powder

I just make this in small batches and I just add those ingredients to taste! And then toss it up! And enjoy!

And of course don't forget my chicken pad thai recipe !!

So give cabbage a try today!
And if you try any of my recipes or ideas I would love to hear from you in the comments!!

Strawberry Chicken Summer Salad

I love salad! It makes me happy! But I don't like it when I don't have the right dressing or the dressing I want has tons of fancy ingredients I don't have on hand!

If you eat clean on a regular basis all these ingredients are mostly like already staples in your fridge or pantry!

Give it a try and show this recipe some love! Leave a comment and share the recipe! 


Strawberry and Chicken Salad 

1 cup Romaine lettuce and/or baby spinach
1 cup sliced strawberries
3/4 cup chicken 

Drizzle with
1 T balsamic vinegar
1-2 t olive oil
1 t real maple syrup

Sprinkle with
Fresh cracked pepper
Himalaya salt

Toss and enjoy! Serves one very hungry person! 

P.S. please excuse the paper plate! I am a real mom who doesn't like doing dishes!
