Meal on a dime...

One of the perks of being a college student is never having money, eating healthily on a tight budget is a lot simpler than i once thought. Vegetables can be purchased for much cheaper than some crappy take away, test yourself...go to your local grocery store and grab a basket of veg. and a basket of frozen food and compare the prices, chances are that the basket of vegetables will be less expensive.

Here's the recipe for the day:

Firecracker Cabbage:

1/2 Head of Cabbage cut and chopped.
3-4 Small red potatoes, chopped
1/2-1c. frozen edemame
1 Jalapeno Pepper*
1 Tbs. Canola Oil
1c. Vegetable stock
1 chopped shallot
1 tbls. salt
pepper*

Instructions:

Saute shallot and potatoes until browned (5-6 min.). add jalapeno and saute until peppers are also slightly browned. Add cabbage, vegetable stock and edemame, and cover pot for 10 min. until stock is almost gone from the bottom of the pan, and the cabbage is slightly translucent. add salt, pepper, and stir.

serve warm.


This was hella good, it tasted very much like a comfort food, only slightly healthier. :)

Happy 4th of July!!!
