Each week, typically on Sunday, I cook for the week ahead. I do it for two reasons: (1) cooking a meal for one always leaves leftovers, so why not embrace leftovers? ; and (2) having a meal that needs only reheating or assembling already prepared allows me to be sure I am eating healthy during the work week.
I like to spend part of Saturday morning after teaching my two yoga classes, in winter and spring, at the farmer's market to find inspiration for what to make for the week to come. This week, at the farmer's market, I found: cabbage, butternut squash, and yellow onions. What to make, what to make, what to make.....
In my inbox, I had the weekly email from www.food52.com (a personal favorite source for great recipes) - which is where I found the recipe using cabbage below. And the chili recipe came in response to a craving my boyfriend mentioned for Mexican when we had dinner on Friday night. Another preferred blog (www.cookieandkate.com) was the initial source for the second recipe below.
