Herby sautéed greens
Whenever I cook these they never actually make it to people’s plates because I eat them all before they get there!
If you think greens are boring you need these in your life. Cooked in butter, with herbs and seasoning, maybe some garlic.

Nutrition Info
Cabbage
Cabbage is a cruciferous vegetable, the same as cauliflower, broccoli and sprouts, cruciferous vegetables provide particularly significant health benefits. One of cabbage’s great features is its anti-inflammatory effect. Inflammation happens inside the body as a result of poor food, alcohol, smoking, pollution, stress, lack of sleep and generally poor lifestyle choices. It’s a precursor to so many diseases and conditions. Certain foods have strong anti-inflammatory effects and we should eat them often, “Eat your greens.” is very sensible advice!
(Nutrition varies according to what veg you choose.)
Find your new natural
At lunch you order steamed vegetables because you’re remembering that you have a heart too. You feel humbled by your heart, it works so hard. You want to thank it. You give your heart a little pat.
