These yakisoba inspired noodles with loads of veg in a sticky-savory sauce, great hot or cold the next day.

February Seasonal Veggie: Cabbage

I keep hearing people say 2026 is the year of the cabbage, and honestly? I couldn’t be happier. Cabbage is one of my favorite veggies to keep on hand.

I love it for easy salads, stir-fries, sheet-pan bakes, and soups. It’s wildly versatile, and it keeps really well in the fridge (like… weeks). That long shelf life is exactly why it’s a winter veggie MVP, and my go-to when I want something fresh without another midweek produce run.

And bonus: it’s usually one of the most budget-friendly veggies in the produce aisle.

Quick ways to use it this month:

  • Shred and toss into any winter salad or slaw
  • Sauté with garlic + a splash of soy sauce (or tamari) for a 5-minute side
  • Roast wedges with olive oil + salt until caramelized
  • Add to soups/stews

Easy February Recipe

Easy Vegetable Chili

My sister swears by this chili when she’s cooking for guests. And my secret ingredient? It sounds weird, but you’ll never skip it again.

Dinner in 30 Shortcut:

The Leveled-Up Salad Kit

If you need a super easy dinner, a leveled-up salad kit is my go-to. Here are 49 add-ins for more protein, fiber, and crunch.

Happy Cooking!
