Welcome to our newest series, What’s Cookin’ with Team Maurer, where you can find some quick, easy, and healthy meals to add to your weekly menu! Planning your weekly meals can be daunting, but check out what Team Maurer is cooking up because healthy doesn’t have to be boring or take a long time to make!
First up, our Events Manager, Katie, with a tasty and lightened up spin on a classic take-out egg roll. Not only will this meal make it to the dinner table in no time, but it is also packed with veggies, like cabbage. Cabbage is a low calorie vegetable that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is also packed with fiber. Breast cancer risk is 12%-19% lower among females who eat more dietary fiber, especially in early adulthood.
Katie says, "So good and so easy. It's become a weekly staple."
