Purple Cabbage and Cashew Pork

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

I don’t think I will ever stop coming up with new “Take Out Fake Out” meal ideas! I love Chinese takeout but it can get costly if you keep your favorite take out restaurant on speed dial! LOL! Making your own take out meals at home is less expensive and a healthier option. This is a perfect meal prep idea for the week. You can fill a few containers to tag along for your lunch breaks! The crunchy cashews add such a great addition to the purple cabbage and the pickled jalapeños with green onions are the perfect kick of flavor to top this D to the LISH meal with!
