recipe


Here is the recipe I made with the cabbage. It was pretty yummy and the name makes you want to eat a lot of it...Which is why I will be renaming all my recipes...bulging belly brownies, swim suit season squash, etc.
-It makes a ton, so freeze some for later.
-I would only use one onion next time.
-Don't tell your man the name..skinny isn't the best adjective when your feeding a hungry hubby:)


Ingredients

1 (2 lb., 3 oz.) can of Italian plum tomatoes

4 cans of water (use tomato can, fill with water)

4 chicken bouillon cubes

2 large onions

1 large green pepper

1 large red pepper

1 bag fresh carrots

1 bunch celery

1 med. green cabbage

Sea salt

Pepper

Directions

Blend tomatoes and 4 cans of water. Add 4 bouillon cubes. Shred or chop all vegetables, except cabbage. Add to broth. Cook 2 hours, then add shredded cabbage and cook 1 more hour, slowly. Add salt and pepper to taste. To make soup more of a "meal" you may add cooked brown rice


Here is another recipe my friend just posted and I made over the weekend. (Thanks Linds, it was delish!) I could live on pancakes...wait, I sorta did my Sophomore year of college:) Yum, chocolate chip pancakes while watching reruns of Friends...good times.

Oatmeal Cinnamon Pancakes
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup fat free sour cream
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup milk

Directions
Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-low heat.
In a bowl, mix the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix applesauce, sour cream, egg, and vanilla. Stir applesauce mixture and milk into the flour mixture until evenly moist and thick.
Scoop about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the prepared griddle, and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides.

I added 1/2 tsp salt and about 1 TBL agave. Don't mistake the unbelievable moisture of these pancakes for being under-cooked! They are sooo good!! (And very healthy) -Lindsey

This recipe reminds me of "Stone Soup" just have all your friends bring a veggie and you supply the magic head of cabbage. Looks good, we could use some Skinny Soup around here way too many of the Lopping Over the Lap Lemon Bars this week!

Thanks for the recepies Jessica. I've been on a health kick lately, so it is nice to find new kinds of healthy foods. I saw your cute blog about the swimming. I wanted to go but I am car less today. We do need to get together. I think you have my number but I'm not sure, I don't have yours or I would have called you to let you know that I could not go. Anyways, I'm going to post my number then if you would not mind, could you delete it? thanks girl:) I hope you have fun today.

Jessica, okay its me AGAIN, I hope it is okay with you but I'm going to blog about the pancake recipe. Seriously that was so amazingly good, I think I'll make pancakes like this instead of the other stuff. Thanks for sharing it, or thank your friend for me too. I still need to make your soup stuff too:)
