Cabbage recipe with GF sourdough biscuit, radicchio, and spicy sprouts

I got a mix of recipes in this dish during my breakfast meal – gluten free sourdough biscuits with fried egg, cabbage with cumin & pear, and radicchio with spicy sprouts on the side. My creative juices started working this morning. I wanted to use as much as I have in the fridge; eliminating food waste is important. I try my best to use all my food in the fridge. I go with the phrase, ” eat breakfast like a king & dinner like a poor man.”

Consumers’ shopping behaviors towards purchasing food has changed these past few months. Many people have increased consumption of canned food as a way to stock up in their pantry. This change in consumer behavior has affected the food supply. As Henzel from the food technology magazine mentions, “Pandemic food hoarding started with canned goods, then moved to frozen vegetables, frozen meals, bottled water, and shelf-stable products.” Also, Food Insight mentions, “nearly 4 in 10 said that they were buying more shelf-stable, pantry foods and buying more groceries each time they shopped. At the same time, nearly half (47%) of survey takers said that they were eating more home-cooked meals than one month ago. Nearly 1 in 3 reported that they were ordering less takeout or delivery than usual, while 16% say they were ordering in more often than they used to. Forty-two percent of survey takers reported buying more packaged foods than usual over the past month, while the same number said that their packaged foods purchases haven’t changed.  Those under age 45 were more likely to be upping their packaged foods purchases; the same age group reported buying more frozen foods as compared to those 45-64 and 65+. At the same time, 59% of people said that they haven’t changed their perceptions on the healthfulness of packaged foods. Twenty-two percent said that they now believe them to be healthier than they did before, while 10% said that they think packaged foods are less healthy.”  Moreover, canned food in our pantry helps curve hunger when we’re in a hurry. Some healthy options include black beans, tuna, and chickpea. These options are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
