Pickled Cabbage

The perfect sweet and tangy condiment!

  • 1/3 – 1/2 head red or green cabbage
  • 1.5 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, bruised
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp mustard seeds

Finely shred cabbage and pack into 1 quart glass jar. Combine all other ingredients in saucepan and boil 10 minutes. Pour over cabbage, push down garlic and leaves, and let sit on counter about 4 hours. When completely cool, cover tightly and refrigerate.

Heart Health Month

Feed your heart love, not fat!

FIRST – Fat Builds Up. THEN – Cholesterol Gets Stuck and forms Plaque. UNTIL – Blood Flow is Restricted. This can lead to heart attack or stroke.

Prevention is the best way to fight atherosclerosis!

3 Simple Tips

  1. Stay away from fats that are solid at room temperature: meat fats, cheeses, and solid oils.
  2. Load up on fiber: fruits, vegetables, grains.
  3. Exercise to the point of sweating – often!
