Braised Red Cabbage and Apples

Back to cabbage! Braised red cabbage is a pretty classic side dish, but it is not a dish that I ever ate growing up. As a matter of fact the first time I ever had this dish was at Houston’s, they often serve it as a side dish topped with goat cheese (that’s what gave me the idea).

Cabbage with Dill and Peas

So, here we go… cabbage recipe numero uno! This side dish is a very quick and simple one to make.

Cabbage loves dill so I decided to pick up some dill when I was at the grocery store this week and let me tell ya, I’m happy I did because it really brought this dish to life.

Video: Kale “101″

I decide that Kale would be the perfect “Food Focus” ingredient this month. I figure why not kick off the New Year with the one ingredient that is missing in most American diets… Dark Leafy Greens!

In this video I go over some of the benefits of kale as well as how to select, store, and prep it.

Talk about a feel good food. Roasted roots satisfy on so many different levels. They are warm, sweet, salty, savory, hearty and so, so satisfying. This is one dish where you think to your self, “Could something so simple and d’lishess really be SO good for me?”

And the answer is Yes! Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes!
