Did y'all know?

All good southern girls should live able to whip upwardly a unproblematic bowl of cabbage together with mayo to accept to a Church picnic, an share pot luck, or delineate solid unit of measurement reunion. Since I come upwardly from a delineate solid unit of measurement of ‘pretty darn adept cooks’ I was ever able to slide past times without making this measure fare. I skated amongst delicious spud salad, baked beans together with Jell-O recipes recognized past times all who attended such events. But since my Mom’s been gone for a really long fourth dimension (and she made THE best slaw around) I felt the take away to footstep upwardly to the plate together with just practice it. I tin never replicate her recipe but I did practice a contender. We had BBQ for Easter dinner this twelvemonth which is quite dissimilar from the typical ham nosotros serve twelvemonth later year. I couldn’t serve pulled pork without Cole Slaw together with absolutely spend upwardly to purchase shop bought, pre-mixed ever again!

Our miss Allie together with my hubby are both big fans of Cole Slaw. I couldn’t await for Allie to endeavor it together with range me her score. Keep inward take away heed that this is a miss who volition brand a special trip to KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) to purchase solely slaw. KFC is widely known for their terrific slaw recipe (seriously!) So when Allie told me this was a adept second, I knew precisely what she meant. This recipe is every bit unopen every bit I’ll ever larn to perfect slaw.
