I'm not really a winter girl. Although I love a good snow fall for the most part I'm not a huge fan of being cold... but with that being said, sometimes I like it. Which brings me to my point. If I had to choose one month that I most relate to it would have to be March.
Okay, so soup was not on my cabbage agenda this week.
I was planning braised red cabbage with apples and goat cheese served with some type of protein; possibly experimenting with chicken or pork moo shu, and/or whipping up an asian style cabbage salad.
What changed things you ask?
I know that technically last week kicked off the New Year but for me this week is really the official kickoff. This Butternut Squash Chili w/ Kale is the perfect meal to start off the New Year on the right foot!
Although I don't have a garden of my own bursting with veggies that are begging to be eatin' up, what I do have are glorious Southern California Farmer's Markets that are bursting with veggies (and fruits, nuts, breads, etc.) that are begging to be eaten up!!
When I lived back in Jersey, my friends and I would rent a house in Vermont every New Year's. We would spend the whole week skiing, playing games, singing, and of course... cooking!
