Coleslaw

I have never been one that liked coleslaw. My Honey likes it with his KFC (when we ate that...it gives him a stomachache now, so it's almost never eaten here). I always thought the smell was disgusting, and had never tasted it.

I found a recipe for a homemade coleslaw a couple of weeks ago, and decided to try it. After spending a few days in the fridge to combine flavors, I made all the children try it. I had two that liked it...mmmok, one that ate a full bowl full and will eat more today, and five who promptly spit their bite in the garbage. My Honey liked it and took a bowl full to work with him, and to my surprise, I liked it! I could eat a few Tablespoons with a meal anytime! It's a good way to get cancer-fighting cabbage into you.

Coleslaw
1 medium head cabbage, grated
1 medium onion, grated
1 small red bell pepper, grated

Pour 3/4 cup raw honey over the veggies.
In saucepan, combine and bring to a boil:
1 cup oil
1 cup white vinegar
1 Tbsp salt
Pour over the veggies.

After two days in the fridge, I drained the extra liquid off the coleslaw and stirred in 2 Tbsp. mayo, salt and pepper. The recipe did not call for this, but we thought it improved the flavor.

Cover and refrigerate for up to three weeks.

Now for a funny story...

The night that we tried the coleslaw, I served a Smoothie for an after dinner snack. Trixie looked at the smoothie and asked what was in it. Our smoothies are different from day to day. I told her to taste it and see. It had 4 cups kefir, 1 container of Old Orchard Apple, Strawberry and Kiwi 100% juice concentrate, 2 tsp. vanilla, and ice and a little water. She wrinkled up her cute little face and said "You put Cold Slop in it, didn't you!?!"
