Simple Cole Slaw

This recipe is adapted from Cooking Light. It was the perfect side item for the sloppy joes tonight. I was a little concerned that Aubrey wouldn't eat very much because this is one of those foods that he is really picky about (I am too). To my surprise, he finished it off really quickly.
I've never used the canola-based mayo before, but it will be my "go-to" mayo from now on. It's so much healthier than the regular mayo, and the taste isn't even sacrificed. Now I can have my cake and eat it too!

Ingredients:
1/3 cup canola-based mayonnaise
1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
3 cups packaged cabbage-and carrot coleslaw

Directions:
Combine canola-based mayonnaise, sugar, pepper, salt, and dry mustard in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Add coleslaw, tossing well to combine.

Anonymous said...: This has nothing to do with you coleslaw (although yours looks pretty good!) but I just read your comparison of being a Christian to cooking and I like it! I like a verse in James, I believe it is 1:2: Consider it pure joy my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, b/c you know the testing of your faith develops perserverance...It gives me so much peace and hope!; June 18, 2009 at 9:55 AM

"Food" for thought

Being a Christian is much like cooking. There are several circumstances that we have been through (good & bad), & that's what has made us who we are. Speaking in "cooking" terms, there are several ingredients that go into the recipe (some taste good alone, and some don't). How many of us would swallow a TBSP of ground cumin? BUT when this ingredient is added with other ingredients, it makes for a perfect dish. Just like all of the ingredients come together to make the recipe good... all of our circumstances come together to make us who we are. God says that "in ALL circumstances, He works for the good for those who love Him" (Romans 8:28). I promise that the Lord is cooking up something good in our lives. His recipe isn't quite finished yet, but when it is.... it will be perfectly delightful!
