Simple cabbage soup.

Monday, January 9th, 2012

We watched Forks Over Knives the other night on Netflix. The information wasn’t really anything new but it did make me want to cut down on all the dairy we eat around here. We don’t eat a ton of meat but I’d also like to cut that down and possibly completely out. I’ve been reading a couple new books lately too. Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar, Miracle Health System which has got me hooked on a drink made of 2 teaspoons of Bragg raw organic apple cider vinegar, two teaspoons of honey and about a cup of water. It’s actually pretty tasty, sort of like a weak apple cider. The other book is Back to Eden which talks a lot about cabbage as a wonderful food source. So I got myself a cabbage and made some soup. A very simple and clean soup that both J and little Z enjoyed.

Took this pic in the evening golden hour. While I was taking this I was explaining it to Z our future photographer. It’s so cool to get to teach your kids awesome things like this.

Laap – ground turkey salad.

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Laap is the national dish of Laos and is a healthy low fat, low carb, low calorie meal that tastes fresh and light. There aren’t many ingredients in this recipe so don’t skip any as they are all key. J not being much of a “meat” person lately was surprised at how much she liked this wonderful little dish. Again for the record, this is a quick and easy version of the recipe that only uses the key ingredients that I feel make laap what it is. As with all dishes there are many many versions, this is mine (though I had help from here and here).
