Speaking of Cabbage

Check out this old New York Times "Well" blog post on "The 11 Best Foods You Aren't Eating". The author asks Dr. Bowden, author of “The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth,” to highlight some great foods that you probably aren't eating on a regular basis.

And looky there, cabbage is #2 on the list. I thought cabbage was one of those foods people aren't eating, hence "The Forgotten Veggie" post.

Perfect little nudge to go buy yourself a head of cabbage and get cookin'! Try that great Ina recipe I just wrote about or my husband's delicious sauteed cabbage recipe listed below.
