Roasted Cabbage

This is the best, healthiest side dish you could make for any summer meal! It is super tasty and carb free! :) I’ve been making this for awhile and cabbage is only $0.66 at our local market. You can’t beat that for a side dish for an entire family and then some.

My husband and I can get sick of the usual stir fried veggies and opt for a different take on a vegetable side. This is great for those nights you can’t think of anything and want something quick!

Ingredients:

  • 1 head of Cabbage, halved
  • EVOO
  • Garlic Salt
  • Sea Salt
  • Fresh Cracked Pepper

Cut cabbage in half.

Juice Detox day 5

And… we are on day 5 of our fruit and veggie detox. My husband called this morning telling me he snuck some sugar into his coffee as he treated himself to his “birthday drink” at Starbucks. :) The cheating has officially begun. :)

Tonight we got a babysitter and my husband decided to tell me he is going to cheat on our date as he really wants steak and sautéed vegetables. So, we are cheating but he doesn’t want carbs. I had a feeling this would come at some point and though I don’t blame him as it can get very tiring to eat the same things meal in and meal out. I am still watching him closely. :)

Keeping you up to date and on your toes while we embark the remaining 5 days of “juicing” or shall I say cheating? Will he remain strong the next few days or will tonight begin the sinkhole of eating “real” food again?

Stay tuned for the remainder of the 5 days!
