I cheated, twice.
For dinner #8 I went to my Mom’s and she fed us. My Mom lives about an hour away and I was going to be in the area for a family Wedding Shower, so we came early and crashed her dinner. I did ask the day before, so I guess I wasn’t really crashing her dinner. Anyway she fed me and my kids…so thanks Mom!
Last night I wanted to use some hamburger patties that I had in the fridge that were going to go bad if I didn’t use them asap. I also had some cabbage from my garden. So we grilled hamburgers and I made some Cole slaw. Here is where the cheat came in. I had Dadzoo stop at the store to pick up supplies to my jam and I figured since he was there anyway….I had him get hamburger buns too. I fully planned on trying to make my own buns…but since he was already there….
On to the Cole Slaw. I am not a fan. Not a fan of Cole Slaw at all. Until I tried my Aunt Beki’s recipe. It isn’t your traditional Cole Slaw, there is no mayo, or carrots (I guess you could add carrots if you wanted to) or raisins, or any of the things one would associate with Cole Slaw, excepting the Cabbage of coarse. I really like it, and so does Dadzoo, the kids not so much, but I don’t cook for my kids.
Here is my Cabbage freshly picked and washed.
Chop it all up, or shred it, however you like.
Then make the dressing:
3 Tbsp vinegar
2 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp Sugar
and salt to taste
(I use a lot of salt, it seems to need it)
Whisk it all together and pour it on the Cabbage
Mix it up good
and toss it in the fridge
I like it to be cold when I serve it and it give it some time for all the flavors to mix.
There you have it
Aunt Beki’s Cole Slaw
Yum! Great recipe.
I don’t like coleslaw either. Maybe I’ll have to try this one.
I’ve made our own buns once. They were okay, but I splurge and buy them when I can. Or we just don’t use buns. The really lazy way is how I cook.
Oh and eating at Mom’s is always good. We eat at my in-laws a lot.
I don’t like coleslaw either so I will have to try this recipe. All your dinner posts have been really inspiring!
I too am not a big fan of coleslaw but I wanted to comment that it sure looks pretty. I might just have to give it a try.
