Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Lithuanian Red Cabbage

I was feeling nostalgic the other night so I reached back to my Lithuanian roots and whipped up this no-fat, high nutrient value, delicious red cabbage dish. Red cabbage is a superior source of vitamin C and, being a cruciferous vegetable, it is full of fiber, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and tons of other good-for-you properties. Try it!

Ingredients
1/2 cup water
1 cup onion, coarsely chopped
5 cups red cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and diced
1/2 cup organic raw apple cider vinegar
1 t salt
1/4 t pepper

Directions
1. Coarsely chop onion and cabbage. Core and dice apple.

2. Heat 1/2 cup water in a medium skillet on medium-high heat.

3. Add onion to skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

4. Add cabbage and apple to skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes then turn heat down to low.

5.Add raw apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low for 15 minutes.


You may serve this dish warm or cold. It is delicious either way!
