Taco cabbage

I got this recipe off YouTube. But changed it to utilize what I already had. 

Original;

ground beef : 1 lb ( 450 g)

olive oil  : 2 tbsp

salt and pepper to taste 

a small head of cabbage : about 6 heaping cups, roughly chopped

salsa : 3/4 cup

taco seasoning : 3 tbsp

water : 1 tbsp ( if cabbage looked dry while cooking add a little more)

cooked beans : 1/2 cup ( any kind work, black beans are best for adding a pop of color )

mozzarella  : 3/4 cup ( or cheese of your choice )

fresh cilantro for topping 

I have a roll of taco seasoned turkey in the freezer. There wasn’t enough fat from the turkey to cook the cabbage so I added about 1/2 of chicken bone broth, not the water the recipe called for. Didn’t add the cheese, forgot. Did’t add the salsa because the southwest beans I added gave the dish a lot of flavor. 

Fry meat in a pan just like you would for tacos. Drain fat if necessary. When cooked add taco seasoning and water (bone broth will add more protein to this recipe). I added some minced garlic and onion flakes to the meat while it was frying. Added cabbage and cooked for about 15 minutes until cabbage is tender. 

Divided this into 4 servings but in all honesty, 2 would have been more filling.

Coreopsis 

I completely wrote this story when I was in high school. As an adult, I typed it up and changed almost every thing about this story except the characters names and personalities. However, I did change the Queen’s name from the original story. 

Coreopsis: 

Coreopsis also known as a tickweed, is used in gardening for its long-lasting, sunny, daisy-like blooms, making it ideal for borders, mass plantings, containers, and cottage gardens. Its key uses include attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies, providing a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant ground cover, and as cut flowers for arrangements. 

Coreopsis generally means “always cheerful,” it can specifically symbolize “love at first sight,” especially with certain species like Coreopsis arkansa. This symbolism is rooted in the language of flowers, known as floriography. The flower’s bright, sunny appearance reinforces meanings of joy, optimism, and happiness.

Walking challenge: day 1

I’m not going to do a day by day update. I will only post on this, the first day. The 15th and the 30th; unless I walk somewhere really pretty. No worries that I’m going to flood your feed. 😉 3.3 miles for me is 8,600 steps (there about. According to Google). I’m short with a short walking stride.

Someone I care about is in the hospital. The hospital has a lovely walking track.

Google was so wrong!

I did it. Day 1; 3.3 miles. 🎉
