We are half-way through February which means that we are soon heading into Cabbage season! We truly believe in following God’s schedule and eating what’s in season. As deliberate a God as He is, there must be a reason for it so we trust it…not to mention science is beginning to see the wisdom in it too…as if we needed to wait on that. But anyhow, here’s a great one to try during this break from the frigid temperatures because chili may seem a bit heavy when it’s so mild.
