Looking Back at Our Veggie Challenges

September 12, 2024

Chris recently posted about how eating more vegetables helps her maintain her weight and included some information about roasting zucchini. For some reason that made me think about some of our earlier posts about vegetables so I decided it was time for looking back at our veggie challenges. If you enter Veggie Challenge in the search field, a lot of entries come up. Scrolling through the search results, I realized we have a lot of great ideas on how to get more vegetables onto our plates. I found a recipe for a kohlrabi slaw that I made in 2019. Five years ago so I guess that’s why I forgot all about this dish but it sounds good. I need to make it again. It’s basically kohlrabi and...

Cabbage, Potato, and Sausage Soup in the Instant Pot

October 8, 2020

Fit and Strong, Food and Drink, Recipes, Veggie Challenge

It's fall once again and my heart turns to soups, including my recipe for a Cabbage, Potato, and Sausage Soup and I'm using the Instant Pot for this. If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this just as easily on the stove. I wanted to see how the cabbage and potato would work in the Instant Pot and it turned out great. In all of the recipes in Becoming Elli, you can count on there being a lot of recipes that include cabbage. I'm not sure why that is. I posted my basic cabbage soup recipe a while ago. Ingredients 1/2 Tbsp. avocado oil 2 carrots, chopped 2 stalks of celery, chopped About 1 lb of baby red potatoes, cut in half or quarters depending on the size 1/2 of...

Cooking Cabbage in the Instant Pot

June 14, 2020

Food and Drink, Recipes, Veggie Challenge

Cooking cabbage in the Instant Pot is so quick and easy. This recipe is perfect for nights when you need some vegetables quickly. One of the things I like about the Instant Pot is that you can cook things quickly and easily. You load it up and turn it on and only deal with it again when the Instant Pot turns off. I just have to share this recipe even though it's another cabbage recipe. We provide a lot of ways to cook cabbage here at the Becoming Elli website. We've posted recipes for cabbage soup, keto cabbage, spicy cabbage in the crockpot, and others. Just go to the website and do a search on cabbage. You'll see what I mean. You only need three items for this...

Cabbage Soup is Lunch of Choice

March 5, 2020

Food and Drink, Recipes, Veggie Challenge

I am having cabbage soup for lunch today. I made a large batch of soup a few weeks ago and put some containers of it in the freezer to save for later. Today is a cold, snowy day here in Ohio and I’m working from home. I was daydreaming about what I was going to eat for lunch and decided to get a container of soup out of the freezer. Customizing the Soup The best thing about this soup is that I can add to it. When I made this soup originally, I added some cooked chicken and beans to the soup. Today I decided to use up the chopped butternut squash that was in my refrigerator so I chopped it into smaller pieces, coated it with some...

Three Ways to Get Motivation in Winter

February 3, 2019

Fit and Strong, Motivation

The first weekend in February in Ohio is about halfway through the winter. This is the time of year have to I look for ways to find more motivation to stay with my intentions of being fit, strong and healthy throughout the winter. I guess I blame the weather. Winter in Northeast Ohio usually means grey, overcast skies that blend into white and grey half melted snow. Most of the winter, my instincts are to get cozy on the couch with a good book/movie, a warm blanket and eat something with high calories, lots of rich food. When I fight that "instinct" and get out in the fresh air, get some exercise and engage some endorphins, I always feel tons better. If there are warm air and...

Cooking with Cruciferous Crunch Collection

February 26, 2018

Recipes

I picked up this bag of Cruciferous Crunch at Trader Joe's this week. It's made up of shredded and chopped kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green cabbage, and red cabbage. Trader Joe's did all of the work of shredding the vegetables. Other stores are probably now carrying a similar product but if you have to, you could always make your own crunch collection. This was an impulse buy and it worked out well for me. I basically decided to make some kind of salad or slaw with this. I think you could add to these ingredients or change them without problem. If I had some dried cranberries or dried cherries in the house, I would have added them to the salad too. Slivered almonds or pignon nuts...

Yummy Sauteed Keto Cabbage

January 15, 2018

Recipes

Here’s a recipe I’ve read variations of on different Keto sites. I can’t believe I’m going to say this about a cabbage dish, but I LOVE this recipe. It’s so easy and cabbage is so inexpensive, and it keeps for a long time. This is a great change from making coleslaw or that infamous diet cabbage soup. I’ll write a post about Keto diets later, but a quick definition of Keto is a diet consisting of high fat, moderate protein, and low carbs. If you’re hesitant about eating fat, you’ll have to modify how you make this dish. I think you could make this with olive oil but I’ve never tried it. I’ve written this up using butter but I’ve seen similar recipes that recommend bacon grease...
