I buy the 96/4 extra lean beef. It really makes a difference when you see only a little bit of fat come out when you cook it. There's not much to drain at all. It's a little pricey but we're worth it!

I use the 96/4 as well. It's $4.79/lb here.

I am SO over cabbage! I swear I must have eaten over 50 heads of cabbage since I started. I don't think the smell of it will EVER leave my house! It's worse than curry!

So I'm not the only "cabbage queen" out there, huh? Funny--I never really noticed the smell, but then again, I'm only a week in. When I've been at it as long as you, who knows!

I get my 96/4 at Trader Joe's and haven't noticed any gristle. However, I like ground beef, always have, so I don't examine it too closely. And I figure its priciness is offset by the fact that we get so little of it in a serviing. A pound goes a long way, 3.5 ounces at a time.

And it sure does make those 500 calories go a longer way than higher fat beef!

I dont think Walmart sells the 96/4 here and we dont have any other grocery stores closer than 25 miles (we live out in the stix) so I will have to make due with the 93/7 I have until I go to the city.
Jess Im still going to try the cabbage chicken but I wanted to ask how you prepare it? Do you add broth to it with the soy sauce? What liquid do you use?

verbqueen · 07-20-2011, 03:51 PM

Jen, for the chinese stye wraps, I saute the finely diced chicken in my nonstick skillet until the pink is gone, adding some garlic and onion powder. While it is sauteing I mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, sweetener, etc. The I pour that on and let it bubble for only a minute or two, then mix it with my cucumber before spooning into napa cabbage leaves to roll up and eat.

Now for cabbage chicken stir-fry, I just saute the chicken, sliced very thin, in the nonstick skillet, season with garlic and onion powders, then add my chopped cabbage with some chicken broth. When the cabbage is wilted, I season it however I want, with soy sauce or Liquid Aminoes or cider vinegar or chili garlic paste, or any combination of the above, dump on a plate and enjoy hot! It makes a pretty good pile of food--100 grams of cabbage is a good-sized serving.

Today for lunch, I cooked cabbage with the ground beef, then added ACV, salt and pepper and a drop of sweetener for a sort of german salad sort of flavor. Was yummy!

jnaakins · 07-20-2011, 04:03 PM

Thanks I think I will try the chicken/cabbage tonight. Im looking to find a new go-to that is quick and easy that I can alternate with grilled meat and a salad. I know Im going to tire of that pretty quick here.
The chinese wraps sound yummy too, I will have to try those as well!

verbqueen · 07-20-2011, 04:04 PM

I eat that chicken and cabbage thing every single day! It takes like 3 minutes to cook--almost fast than a microwave--and since I have the chicken all packaged up in 3.5 oz baggies and the cabbage also bagged up in serving sizes, the whole meal takes maybe 5 minutes. Can't beat that for speed!
