Cabbage Hash (My Easy Version of Polish Golumpki) – Gluten Free

Cabbage Hash (My Easy Version of Polish Golumpki) – Gluten Free

Finishing up some more of our favorite winter recipes, I thought I would share my cabbage hash.  This is actually what we had for dinner tonight because I had a half a head of green and half a head of red cabbage left over from this weekend in which we had fish tacos and a pulled pork/cumin cole slaw tacos (I will share both of those recipes later).  This dish is inspired by traditional Polish Golumpki…which are a stuffed cabbage roll…  I have made them once, and then just realized that the effort to make cabbage rolls is more time than I typically want to spend on dinner, so I created a “one pot” hash version.  We eat a lot of cabbage over the winter months, so finding different ways to prepare it helps with variety in our weekly meals.

It’s a pretty basic dish, with ground beef, cabbage, tomatoes (I add tomatoes with green chilies because we like the extra spice) onion, and rice.  I typically use Earth Fare’s grassfed ground beef for this dish when they have it on sale, but many times I will split half beef/half ground pork, since their grassfed beef is so lean.

Loaded Potato Soup – Gluten Free (Optional Dairy Free)

Loaded Potato Soup – Gluten Free (Optional Dairy Free)

Finally, winter is coming to an end finally here in Indiana! We are looking forward to garden fresh veggies and lots of grilling, but since we keep having cold weather spells randomly, soups are still in our regular recipe lineup.  Potato soup is one of our family’s favorite.  We have gone through periods in time when some of our household is dairy free and overall we keep our dairy intake pretty low.  So I make my entire soup dairy free, and then people can choose whether or not they want to add cheese.  It’s a simple alternative to the traditional dairy based potato soup, that is both hearty and filling and since organic potatoes have been on sale at our Earth Fare for less that $0.70/lb, it is pretty budget friendly.

I typically use my own homemade bone broth as my main base, but when I am out, I use Pacific brand (which is gluten free).potatosoup
