Munchie Monday: Frugality Again--Cabbage and Onions

We had half a cabbage that was beginning to look less than lovely. Well, it was drying out.  I could not bear to throw it out.  This is what I did:

Sliced the cabbage into fine shreds.

Slice two large onions, also finely, but since I knew I was the only person who would eat this food, I did not trouble too much about the size of the onions.

Melted 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the cast iron skillet then put in the cabbage and onions.  Stirred them well to coat with the lovely oil.  Sautéed the vegetables over medium heat until the cabbage was tender and the onions nicely caramelized.  Sprinkled with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Yes, I love that stuff.

This cabbage and onion conglomeration was very very good.  It took me three days to eat it all but I enjoyed every single bite.  No one else bit when offered...

 You can see the lovely caramelized onions.  So good.

Munchie Monday: Food Portioning Scheme

In an additional attempt to eat healthier, I decided to portion out food and store it for easy retrieval in the refrigerator.

This time is was rice which I measured out in 1/3 cup portions and put them in some lovely little containers I purchased from a deli inside a grocery store in northern Utah last summer.  Such an easy way to eat.  I just need to make a salad, take out one little container, toss its contents on top of the salad and I am good to go.

This is what the containers look like all charged up:
