paleo colcannon

My dearest friend Liz moved to England this summer . . . permanently.   I had always imagined that when her husband finished his post doctorate they would move back to Portland and our kiddos would grow up to be best friends.   The fact that our sons are only two months apart made it seem even more likely that we’d be watching our sons grow like weeds together.  Then England happened.  I thank goodness for Skype because it seems like almost all of my close friends and family live hundreds miles away from me.

Anyhow, during our last chat, she mentioned she was making Colcannon.  Cole what? was my reply and after describing what sounded like a carb fest of deliciousness, I had to make a Paleo version. Considered St. Patrick’s day is upon the horizon, it seemed like  a good time to work on an easy recipe.

    I love sweet potatoes and I love cooked cabbage, so I tried this recipe, it tasted OK, but I would not make it again and there is no way I could get my husband to touch it.
