The other night we made homemade kebabs with all the trimmings. Which left me with 3/4 of a cabbage. Normally I struggle with cabbage and ends up wasting it. Hence, I tried to find a use of it. Suddenly I was reminded of a very Danish meal “Boller I Karry” translated to English it is “Meatballs in Curry”.This is a very child friendly dish and a favourite with many kids in Denmark, the curry is very mild almost sweet.
However, the dish I ended up making is a variation of this, instead if includes chicken breast and cabbage! Still got 1/3 of the cabbage left.
The husband loved it, said that it was exactly what he expected it would be when I told him I was making Danish curry. Froze one portion for me to eat one day.
serves 2-3
250 g chicken
1/3 white cabbage, cut into pieces
1 tbsp East Indian style curry powder
2 tbsp vegetables oil
1 finely chopped onion
1 carrot finely sliced
1 Apple diced
300 ml water
Salt and pepper to taste
method
- In a pan add the oil and curry powder, let it cook for 1 min.
- Now add the onions and cabbage. Cook until translucent.
- Then add the chicken, cook for 2 minutes.
- Now add the water, carrots and apple, let it simmer until chicken is cooked through.this should take around 5 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve with rice.

I'm a single mum with two adorable kids, Flipper and Blipson, they will be known as here.
Until January 2019 I was working, but we found it wasn't compatible with my partners work pattern and the many hours he worked. Hence, I gave up my job and focused on the boys.
Then, me and my ex-partner decided to split up at the end of 2019 and it has been a rollercoaster ever since, to get to terms with being a single mum. Managing a life just with them, moving house and starting on a fresh. Luckily, we still have a good relationship and happily spend time together with our kids. Which I believe is so important for them.
It's hard having given up a job and then suddenly finding yourself on your own, however, it is for the best. I hope at one point in time to start working again. But until Flipper start school, (he is 3 but we are deferring him a year due to his hearing impairment), I'll probably stay at home as a stay at home mum.
The good thing is, I have always been good at budgeting and stretching my money. Being a foodie doesnt always go hand in hand with being on a budget, however, it does make you creative. Because of this, we eat quality meals but on a budget.
And this is what I would like to share with you guys.
I have long been considering if I should start from scratch with a totally new blog or just continue on this one. I have decided to continue on this blog, as the past will always be a part of who I am.
Love
Metti, Blipson and Flipper
