Corned Beef and Cabbage healthy Corned Beef & Cabbage
Corned beef and cabbage is a favorite of mine, and a tradition on St. Patty’s day. It can also be a healthy meal any time of year.

Store bough corned beef has added nitrites and chemicals, but making a homemade version is a tasty and easy option, as long as you have enough time. Once you have the corned beef, the actual dish takes virtually no time to put together!

    Should I use fresh water or the brining solution in the crock pot? Thanks for the recipe :)

    Fresh water… the brining solution will be super salty! Just rinse the brisket well in cool water and then use water in the crock pot.
