"Get More Greens"

Are you looking for quick, easy, nutritious recipes? Welcome to the Cook County Family Nutrition Program Recipe of the Month. It is important to include fresh fruits and vegetables as part of your daily meals. This month we are focusing on "Getting more Greens" in our diets. The vegetable of choice is Cabbage! Cabbage is a great source of Vitamins K and C. They are also a good source of dietary fiber. Try preparing our easy Cabbage Pasta Soup!
