so, i ate pizza this morning, had next to no calories left for my diet for the day, and absolutely no fat! i was WAY over on fat, to tell the truth, so i needed to make something low calorie, low fat, but filling... cabbage stew! the above picture is the nutrition label i got after i plugged the recipe in at nutritiondata.self.com. that is for 2 cups of the stew! healthy healthy food! the sodium for yours may be higher, i used a low sodium homemade broth. i made a huge batch, so here it is halved. makes about 12 cups worth.
