One more tip:
One medium head (2-1/2 pounds) of green cabbage yields 9 cups shredded raw and 7 cups cooked. The top portion of the cabbage head is more tender and shreds easier than the bottom. If it is practical, cut the head horizontal and use the top, raw in salads and slaw and use the bottom half in cooked recipes.

I decided Im gonna make fake cabbage rolls:)or easy or mock:)
 
Well ladies - I got no exercise yesturday nothign real anyway...Im about to hope on my elliptical here for a bit and then Im gonna try to go get in my weight dvd Power Mile and I will be going for a walk this afternoon for at least an hour:)

HOWDY Ladyumbra & Cerella our team ROCKS!I am going to have a freaking
killer weekend despite the stupid 7+inches of snow thats coming!BLAH!
Have a nice weekend and anyone know exactly weigh in days are they Thursdays like the other challanges
 
Hey Ladies...

Im just wondering how you are doing...Im doing alright - LOL...trying to exercise as much as I can in and amoung things...this is a crazy work month for me...Im pretty much workin full time this month 10 hour shifts a shot - 5 days a week - wehN im not workign I will be helping my friend who recently became a single mom by watching her daughter for her on my days off so she can work - fun fun fun...

Anyway have you seen the challeneges or detours I guess...to eat 5 cups of boiled cabbage this week or do a dance...I copied the cabbage recipe it sounds good I think this is what I am gonna do...I will paste it for you two if you are interested...

Here's the full recipe for the interested:

Irish Colcannon (serves 8 as a side, 4-6 as an entree)

2 pounds potatoes, scrubbed
2 sticks butter (can be greatly reduced without much impact)
1 1/4 cups hot milk (I use broth and it is fine)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 head cabbage, cored and finely shredded (can sub kale for cabbage, but that would defeat the point of the detour!)
1 (1-pound) piece ham or bacon, cooked the day before
4 scallions, finely chopped
Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Steam the potatoes in their skins for 30 minutes. Peel them using a knife and fork. Chop with a knife before mashing. Mash thoroughly to remove all the lumps. Add 1 stick of butter in pieces. Gradually add hot milk, stirring all the time. Season with a few grinds of black pepper.
Boil the cabbage in unsalted water until it turns a darker color. Add 2 tablespoons butter to tenderize it. Cover with lid for 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly before returning it to the pan. Chop into small pieces.

Put the ham in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 45 minutes until tender. Drain. Remove any fat and chop into small pieces.

Add cabbage, scallions, and ham to mashed potatoes, stirring them in gently.
Serve in individual soup plates. Make an indentation on the top by swirling a wooden spoon. Put 1 tablespoon of butter into each indentation. Sprinkle with parsley.


Or I might just make cabbage soup...havent decided yet.
 
fwee doing well so far. Fiance is picking up the cabbage tonight on her way home from work. I tired the dance earlier and it was just made of fail. Having breakfast now and then I'll be doing my morning ddr session. I'm going to use workout mode to time myself and make sure I get an accurate time.

I'm all excited ( minus eating the cabbage but the fiancee insisits) and i'll be doing my best for the team.
 
Howdy checking in looks like alot of YUMMY food menues in here so I need to RUN OUT lol it's after hours.I have been eating alot of veggie soup that I made usuing 3 bags of mixed birds eye mixed veggies and 2 cans of progresso chicken noodle soup mix and cook for a while and I eat BIG bowls of that before a meal so I am full lol.HAVE A WRM GOOD WEEKEN TAMMY

SSSOOO - how is this for dedication ? I was kinda lazzzy today and got in no exercise...I had a horrible stress headache that wouldnt go away and hardly slept last night...I had a fit from hell with my 3 year old when we went out for 20 mins to the dollar store so the poor dog never got his walk...we came straight home and she went to bed!!!LOL

I had plans and went out for dinner at 6pm and then cake and such back at Michelle's...anyhow after stopping off at Save - On to pick up a mop bucket and everyhtign I need to make my mock cabbage rolls I came home and got on the elliptical at 1145pmLOL...I went 50 mins and 6.25 miles - GO ME!!!

Tomorrow I will ge tin lots of exercise...a walk - my dvd's at work and we are going swimming

 
I havent had any cabbage BUT can lots of mixed veggies count for something lol.I hate cabbage but I made a big pot of mixed veggatables w/chicken broth to snack on.I have been working my butt off to such as dancing and and lots of running in place squats lunges,jumping jack,crunches bikes weights,Tammy
 
Sorry it has to be cabboge if we dont all do it then we fail the detour...it isnt a choice we all need to do it...
