We had just picked a handful of baby carrots from the garden and plucked our last cabbage. We argued about what to do with it. I like cabbage raw. Matt likes it cooked. Then I stumbled across this vibrant picture on AttractingWellness.net. It looked so colorful and nutritious. Though we didn’t have the bright, lovely purple cabbage she had, [...]
