Cabbage noodles!

Happy New Year!

I hope 2018 is full of many moments of joy and gratitude for all of us!  

I’ve recently been experimenting with my diet and noticed that I feel better when I eat less carbohydrate.  At first I was pretty sad about this but now I love all my extra energy!  So I’ve been playing with different substitutions and in an effort to find a replacement for noodles, I discovered cabbage!   Now, I happen to love cabbage so this is a natural progression for me but even if you’re on the fence about it, I would encourage you to give this a try.  You can use this preparation for any sauce base that would usually have a pasta or grain with it. 

Two generous servings.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cabbage
• Salt & Pepper
• Coconut Oil (or your oil of choice)

1. Prepare the cabbage by removing the wilted, discolored, and thicker outer leaves. Rinse under cold running water.  Cut the cabbage in half and remove the coarse stem. Save one half for another use.  
​
2. Cut the cabbage into slices. I prefer fine wide bite-size slices. 
​
3. Melt the oil in a pan. 

4. Add the cabbage with a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. Cover and stir occasionally for 15-20 minutes until the cabbage is tender to your liking. 

​6. Add your desired sauce!

If you have extra cabbage - it will save better if you keep the sauce and cabbage noodles separate. 

Hope you enjoy!
