The tips are crispy while the flesh near the root is creamy and sweet.

Today marks one year on this keto journey. I didn't take a before photo, but I have a pic of myself on 8/7/24 and one I took 8/31/25.
I'm down 67 pounds and I feel immortal.

I blanched a head of cabbage, shredded, to make my "pasta". I divided the cabbage into six containers, topped them with the stew, and finished with grated pecorino romano.

Tasty on spring greens and an avocado using the oil in the can as my dressing
I season the diced avocado with s&p and garlic & onion powders
