Food Diary

Lime and Chili Cabbage Slaw

February 22, 2009 · By Monica Shaw

Lime and Chile Cabbage SlawThursday’s lunch salad was inspired by two things: a leftover head of savoy cabbage threatening extinction in the fridge and a recipe for crunchy lime cabbage slaw from my new favorite blog, Eggs on Sunday.

Eggs on Sunday is written by Amy, a fellow foodie who shares many of my own philosophies about eating:

I believe in cooking with whole, natural and organic ingredients, celebrating seasonal foods, and supporting local farmers by using local ingredients whenever I can. I’m not “officially” vegetarian, but I try to choose meat, dairy and eggs from animals that I can trust have been cared for, raised and processed humanely. I love to garden — the process of growing your own food is immensely rewarding and fun. I believe in taking time to enjoy food, and in relishing the joys of delicious food!

Check it out, make the salad, drink the hot chocolate, and enjoy!

    Hi Monica!

    The lime cabbage sounded great so I checked out the new blog your mentioned! Thanks – it is always great to share in neat, natural and whole food ideas!

    And we have been including cabbage in our diet lately and hope to make it a regular thing, so that was great!

    As well the brussel sprouts in this meal you made look so good! I have been using them as often as I like….ok, who am I kidding, I cannot remember the last time I ate them. But would like to, so this reminder is great 🙂

    I love those brussels sprouts!!! Heidi’s method is my new favorite way to cook them…so good.

    And I am so jealous of your daily swims. I was a competitive swimmer in high school and miss it so much. I can’t wait ’till it warms up around here and the outdoor community pools open, I”m definitely getting a membership this summer. Its such a great workout, and so easy on your body!

    Yeah I think the sprouts surprised my BF (pleasantly so!) – “you put butter in these!” Nope, Parmesan! Such a magical ingredient.
