Tip of the Week: Need a dinner quick? Put a dab of coconut oil in the pan. Slice up onions and cook them a few minutes until translucent (this would be the time to add garlic and/or ginger too). Add in grated carrot and thinly sliced cabbage. Cook about 5 minutes until cabbage is just wilted. Add in freshly chopped dill and any spices you like. Quick, easy and very filling. Add in some frozen edamame, tofu or chicken at the end if you like.
