Click here to learn more about the weekly food challenge and how you can play along. But, basically, you just make something during the challenge week with the weekly challenge food item and add your link to this post (leave a comment with your URL and I'll add it). See, simple!
This Week's Challenge Item (2/15 – 2/21) – Cabbage:
According to Parker-Pope, from her article "The 11 Best Foods You Aren't Eating", "Loaded with nutrients like sulforaphane, a chemical said to boost cancer-fighting enzymes. How to eat: Asian-style slaw or as a crunchy topping on burgers and sandwiches."
According to Jonny Bowden in The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth, cabbage may keep prevent breast cancer, is "one of the lowest-calorie foods on the planet," and gives you an assortment of awesome vitamins and minerals.
Recipe Ideas:
- Cole Slaw (google for a ton of recipes)

Aargh! I made red cabbage slaw with celeriac, carrots, pear, pine nuts & dried berries/cherries at the weekend. It was great, but I didn't take a pic. Still have some red cabbage left might have to make it again lol
