Cookbook Countdown: 3 Days to Go: Mexican Cabbage

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon

After 28 hours of travel time (it took more than a day, both ways, to travel between the Caribbean and Whistler in Canada), I wasn't in the mood for much cooking. Though, I was also desperate for a healthy, home cooked meal after 28 hours of airport food...

So, on the way home, we stopped at the grocery store (knowing our condo would be practically empty in terms of food) and I pulled up the "quick 1-pot meals" section of my cookbook on my kindle. (I can't begin to convey how awesome it is to have a copy of all my recipes IN the grocery store!)Anyway, I zoomed right in on the Mexican Cabbage knowing this recipe whips up in about 15 minutes (including prep-time) and it was full of healthy vegetables, which my body was craving.Ahh... it really hit the spot. This cabbage dish is crazy nutritious and really flavorful, too. It was exactly what I needed and with Scott's help, we had it plated in under 10 minutes!

I also threw some fresh cilantro on top which I think added a nice zing at the end, and boosted the color of the dish... and! lucky for YOU, this is one of about 20 recipes that was originally on the blog, but made it into the book -- so you can sample it now if you're still waiting for your book to arrive :)

p.s.If you've already received the cookbook,please leave a review on amazon or bn.com -- reviews helped the book jump to#4 on the vegan best sellers list yesterday! together we can make it #1!
