David likes these better than normal pancakes. They are pretty good. I put in 1/8 tsp of stevia powder for the sweetner

Cabbage Salad

After reading this post http://thestonesoup.com/blog/2008/05/a-cabbage-obsession/, I made this for lunch today. I grated the cabbage right into a bowl, just enough for me.

Grated cabbage
balsalmic vinegar
ev olive oil
raisins
walnuts

it was pretty good! I like the taste of cabbage. Mild and crunchy.

Serve over lettuce.  love this quick meal.

30 Minute Chili

1 C. chopped onion. Drain fat.
2 14oz. cans diced tomatoes with juice (or 3.5 cups diced from a giant Costco can)

1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Combine all ingredients and heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.

I really loved this. I used S&W chopped tomatoes and they were really acidic, which made it even better. Also used 91/9 beef.
