    EASY CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE

    Sharing is caring!

    Easy Corned Beef & Cabbage is one of the easiest meals to make and it basically cooks itself. All you need for this recipe besides the Corned Beef is a Dutch Oven, cabbage, veggies, and red potatoes. In a matter of a few hours, you’ll have a complete dinner and leftovers for a week!

    EASY CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE IS THE MEAL FOR SAINT PATRICK’S DAY

    Easy Corned Beef & Cabbage is a favorite around here, whether it’s Saint Patrick’s Day or not and I’m excited to get this recipe live on the blog. All you need for this holiday staple is nitrate-free corned beef with brine and spices. I picked up mine at Trader Joe’s because they are affordable and already come with the spices. You’ll also need cabbage, red potatoes, celery, and carrots.

    A delicious sauce for your corned beef can be a combo of homemade mayo and mustard and for those who like things spicy, you can add horseradish too. Creamy or straight is up to you.

    You will also need a Dutch Oven for this recipe. I let my corned beef simmer on low in my Dutch Oven for about 5-hours, and the flavors were amazing! The corned beef turned out so tender and flavorful and I plan on making another this week because it was that good.

    THINGS TAKE TIME, TRY TO HAVE PATIENCE, ESPECIALLY WITH YOURSELF

    If you’re currently experiencing grief then you know what I’m talking about. It’s hard to see when life will be grand again. Oh, I wish life could be grand again. I find myself waiting for magical moments to happen while feeling heartache and pain all at the same time.

    Grief is the strangest thing and the only way to go through it is to go through it. If you don’t go through it and you bury the emotions, you will never heal and you will continue to be stuck on this inter-loop of pain that keeps you stuck and no one should ever have to live like that.

    GRIEF IS NON-LINEAR AND VERY FICKLE

    And although grief is fickle, it certainly doesn’t have to take over your life. Lately, I’ve been forcing myself to get out of the house, meet new people, and just go different. You never know who you are going to meet so getting out and about is healthy and necessary for moving on.

    The hard part about grief is no one knows you are experiencing it except you, especially in public. So when you are standing in the ice cream aisle and you start balling while staring at the mint chip and the guy next to you who is also standing in the ice cream aisle just awkwardly stares at you, all you can do is look away and continue to cry.

    Or you can run, but that’s even stranger. Grief is so strange and so random and so encompassing. The thought that what you lost is never coming back is one of the most terrifying feelings in the world. It takes a long time to become okay with that fact. The tangible is no longer real anymore and it can take years to slightly get over that. And some never do.

    COOKING AND CREATING RECIPES KEEPS ME SANE

    What does help me cope is cooking. Being in the kitchen and creating new recipes helps me leaps and bounds just get through the day to day. When I start to feel out of control, I go cook or I research how to make something new for this space. I come up with new cookbook recipe ideas and I keep my hands moving. It’s therapeutic to work through your grief with food. Food is always there, it’s something tangible that I can cook and go back to again and again. Cooking never lets me down.

      Cooking (and eating) is self-care for me as well. There something so satisfactory about creating something new or revisiting an old favourite recipe. This corned beef and cabbage sounds very tasty, perfect for St. Patrick's day.

      I'm the exact opposite of you - I don't want to cook when I'm experiencing grief, so I'm going to try to use you as inspiration. We almost got the corned beef at Trader Joe's. I think I'll go back to get it tomorrow.
