Sauteed Chicken with Cabbage and Onion

entrees, , ,

chicken-cabbage-onionYesterday I posted about my workout regiment that I have been doing or well that I started back up.  Yesterday however was not leg day, nope it was my first day of cardio.  The cardio routine surprisingly is very quick, yet effective.  If you have done HIIT then you know what I am referring to.  Essentially you can do the entire routine in under 25 minutes.  Yep thats it.  You can do this on any piece of cardio equipment that you feel comfortable with.  For me I prefer the elliptical.  So here is the routine in a nut shell.

 

  1. 2 Minute Warm Up
  2. 1.5 Minute at a good pace
  3. 30 Seconds full out
  4. Repeat Steps Two and Three 8 times
  5. 4 Minute Cool Down

Thats it, pretty simple.

Outside of that routine I have been working on some pretty interesting wordpress plugins that I will be publishing soon.  I will make sure that when I do publish them they will be put in to the wordpress plugin area.  I won’t release details about it right now just because its still brand new and in planning phase but specs are just about done and prototype will be in progress.  Pretty much that sums up anything new that has been going on, on to the recipe!

This recipe is one of my favorites that I take with me to lunch and if you can’t tell that is my lunch dish in the picture lol.  So this is inspired with some Lebanese spice (Sumac) that I enjoy on my food but can be omitted if you do not have access to it.  My wife makes this dish for me about once a week for lunch, it fills the stomach and tastes great going down!

Cabbage Salad

I have been thinking on what recipes that I have been eating for years would be a really good treat or entree for my current eating plan.  My wife is Nicaraguan and their cuisine mainly consists of fried foods but there  are some  gems that are amazing in flavor and healthy.  This post today though is really about one dish that my mother-in-law makes that is absolutely amazing.  Nicaraguan Cabbage Salad!!!! Lately I have been pairing this salad with my lunch and it just makes the flavors pop and its absolutely delicious.

It is super easy to make and literally if you make a bowl of it will be good for days.

Nicaraguan Cabbage Vinegar Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 Head of Cabbage
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1/2 Onion
  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Water
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. This is very simple to put together.
  2. Shred the cabbage to however thick you would like it.
  3. Dice the tomato
  4. Dice the Onion
  5. Now this is where it can get a bit tricky you need to start off with about 1 cup of the apple cider vinegar for a normal head of cabbage if your cabbage is bigger you will need to increase this
  6. Take how much ever vinegar you added and now add 1/2 of that in water. Essentially this is 1/2 part water to 1 part vinegar. So if you added 1 cup of the vinegar add 1/2 cup of water
  7. Mix well
  8. Enjoy
