I was going to make cabbage rolls but… I ended up taking the easy route. Instead I made a simple but healthy dish that’s good when the weather is cold.

The ingredients are whole and natural. It contains protein, fruit (tomatoes), veggies, and carbs. Serve it with a glass of whole milk and it’s a completely balanced meal.

Ground beef

Cabbage cubed into squares

Tomato paste

Diced or stewed tomatoes

Diced onion

Diced carrots

Salt, pepper, garlic, onion, basil, oregano

Broth or water

Dash of the sweetener of choice (mine is agave)

Diced potatoes (keep the skin on, it’s a good source of iron)

A splash of red wine, if you’re daring

Add all of the ingredients except the potatoes (keep those out).

Let the ingredients cook on a low-medium heat with the lid on. Stir the contents when the meat begins to brown. Break apart the meat (but not too much).

Add the potatoes. Let cook on low with the lid on until everything is tender. Stir and serve. Eat.
