Sweet Cole Slaw



Nearly a year ago, we had a friend who took the Mr. and the boy cherub to his favorite BBQ joint in Ft. Worth while we were still living in Texas.

It was so good that the Mr. and the boy cherub took the girl cherub and me back!

I love it when we get to go someplace new!

No doubt, the BBQ was fantastic!

But what was also good, and that my boy cherub loved, was the cole slaw.

Of course, he asked if I can make it.

Well certainly I can . . .

 try!

I'm not normally found of cole slaw with a mayonnaise-based dressing.

But this one seemed different.

Not so mayonnaise-y.

It's been nearly a year since we've eaten at that little BBQ joint in Ft. Worth, but I held to my promise and I made my boy cherub the cole slaw.

Sweet Cole Slaw

1 lb. package cole slaw mix
1/2-1 tsp. salt
2/3 cups real mayonnaise
2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
1 TBSP oil
1 TBSP sugar
1 tsp. celery seed
1- 8 oz can pineapple tidbits, well drained
1/2 cup raisins

In a small jar, whish together the mayonnaise, vinegar, oil, and sugar.  Set to the side.

In a large bowl, place the cole slaw mix.  Sprinkle the top of the cabbage with 1/2-1 tsp. salt.  Allow the cabbage to sit a bit with the salt.

Sprinkle the raisins into the cabbage and the well-drained pineapple.  Toss to mix.

Pour the dressing mixture onto the cabbage and gently toss until well coated.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
