That's a score to me....;) And you know what's a great way to use up cabbage?! Try sauteing it with carrots, soy sauce, onions, tofu, etc. and then put it in an eggroll wrap to bake! And ta-da! You have a delicious and healthy eggroll. :D And thank you so much for choosing me for the super unexpected award! haha. I would have never chosen myself for that one, but I'm thankful you even thought of me. <33Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303576255576994200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-35015861536750066992012-06-21T23:41:39.059+01:002012-06-21T23:41:39.059+01:00I get ill when I think about coleslaw also!

Recently I made a pickled purple cabbage with apples and walnuts to go with confit duck. I know you don't eat duck but the pickled cabbage even on its own was great and my husband loved it! I think it's all in the cooking and clearly you have found a way to love cabbage too! xxHotly Spicedhttp://hotlyspiced.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-26961792377447539242012-06-21T12:43:27.683+01:002012-06-21T12:43:27.683+01:00I eat a lot of napa cabbage.

My favourite recipe that features cabbage is an Indian dish called punjabi cabbage. I also like it shredded into stir-frys sometimes. Purple cabbage is so much prettier than the standard green variety, your salad looks lovely!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.com
