It is awesome! I got it from a Cooking Light magazine years ago. My kids love Potato Leek Soup, which I always try to throw in extra vegetables, and generously topped with cheese. I am always amazed how they eat it up and ask for more! Thanks for the menu tips! I totally ditto Vanderbilt Wife for that asparagus recipe. It is awesome!

Then, melt some butter in a pan until it's sizzling. Remove from heat and whisk in some balsamic vinegar and some soy sauce. Drizzle over asparagus. It's delicious!

It's quick and doesn't get slimy!

Roast it in the oven at a high temperature (450) with olive oil and salt&pepper for only 5-10 minutes until fork tender. I like to sprinkle it with feta when it comes out too.<br /><br />Here is a fantastic leek soup recipe, I recommend topping it with creme fraiche instead of the whipped cream as recommended.<br />http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Creamy-Leek-Soup-238442<br /><br />As for cabbage, coleslaw is always a favorite or boiled cabbage with kielbasa or corned beef.<br /><br />Good luck!
