Here is a recipe I’ve been making lately. It’s from a Russian cooking show on YouTube from chef Olga Matvei. It’s really simple to make, healthy, and cheap. Has a nice buttery flavor, for those who like butter. The translation is my own.

SERVES:
4+

PREP TIME:
10 MIN

TOTAL TIME:
45 MIN




INGREDIENTS
½ average cabbage
¾ cup sour cream
3 heaping soup spoons of mayonnaise
½ cup melted butter
3 eggs
½ cup flour
2 heaping tsp. baking powder
Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS

Pre-heat an oven to 350 degrees. Shred the cabbage thinly. Salt the shredded cabbage and mix with hands, squeezing to soften.  Add melted butter to cabbage and mix with a spoon. Butter the interior of an oven dish, add the cabbage, and spread it evenly.

In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream.  Add salt. baking powder, and eggs, and whisk together. Add flour and whisk to an even consistency.

Spread the batter evenly over the cabbage, all the way to the edges of the casserole.

Bake in a 350-degree oven for 35-40 minutes, or until done. The top should be browned, but soft and spongy. Allow to sit for 20 minutes before serving, so the top firms up.

Freelance Web & Graphic Designer

Recently I began taking inventory of my life, recognizing the shifts I could make to lessen my personal consumption and impact. Since we spend a quarter of our lives working, that was certainly an area demanding attention. So I left retail and begin my career freelancing for small businesses whose higher purpose transcends profit.

I believe in employing my skills and energy to empower others working to create positive change in our world. I support too-swamped entrepreneurs by breathing life into their brands and websites, allowing them to focus on the important work at hand. At the same time, I get to nurture my own entrepreneurial spirit while being creative and building truly meaningful relationships throughout my community.

I strive to inform, delight and inspire by balancing content with design. I consider the details without losing sight of the big picture. I aim to see around corners while staying focused on the moment. I'm self directed but have over a decade of experience successfully working with teams. And while I've surely got bills to pay, I know it's my social responsibility to be selective about where I put my energy.
