Caramelized Roasted cabbage with crispy chickpeas, creamy tahini sauce, and an herby jalapeño gremolata has just an exquisite flavor and incredible combination of textures! 18g Protein, 16g fiber! This is a mouthful of a recipe name, but that’s the components of the recipe, and they go so amazingly well together. This is roasted cabbage, elevated. We roast the cabbage in the oven until it develops caramelization on both sides and becomes really soft and melt-in-your-mouth inside. Then, you pair the cabbage with crispy, lemony, garlicky pan-fried chickpeas. These chickpeas are so good and add amazing texture contrast to the soft…

Junk food is highly processed, high in calories, and lacking in nutrients. Examples include chips, cakes, cookies, chocolate, lollipops, and sugary drinks. Unfortunately, these foods and beverages add no value and contain a lot of added sugar, saturated fat, and salt.

What a nightmare. The hour-long drive, then the 2-hour wait in the doctor’s office for an 8-minute doctor’s consult, just to get the diagnosis: “hepatic steatosis.” Not helpful. Just a keyword to search. No plan. Just, “See you in six months. Try to lose weight.” Right. Thanks, Doc. (Insert your own snarky comment here.) Everything that’s wrong with the medical system hits you in the face. And so you search. You ask, “What am I supposed to do?” After all, you only get one liver, and some of those articles paint a scary picture. Here’s what the doctor didn’t tell…

Furthermore, we often see a mismatch between consumer intention regarding sugar and sodium reduction and consumer action, especially when taste is compromised.…
