Grocery Shopping and chopping

Today was my first trip out to get groceries since the baby was born. I kept it simple and just bought a few fresh vegetables to supplement my stocked up pantry. Around here, cabbage is a definite staple. I use it on tacos and in salads and toss it into soups and stirfrys. I've found that Newman's Own Seasame Ginger dressing paired with cabbage makes a perfect asian inspired salad. Compared to lettuce, cabbage lasts longer, has more nutrients, and a lot more crunch.

When I have a free moment, I chop a whole head at once and leave it in the fridge for quick use. It's a cheap and easy way to get some veggies into my diet in the middle of hectic newborn care.
