Well, hello again! I'm preparing to shut down from a relaxing weekend and I wanted to post the cole slaw recipe that I made last weekend, that went very well with our Pulled Pork sandwiches.
This cole slaw is one of my husband's favorite dishes that I make for him. As a little girl, I used to love the cole slaw that was served at Kentucky Fried Chicken-- we're talking decades ago, when KFC served those wonderful buns (and not the biscuits they serve today).
At last, I can make a version that's as good-- actually better-- thanks to "Kittencal" at Recipezaar.com. Like many comfort foods, this is not low-fat. This slaw is mayonnaise based, has buttermilk, sugar, and some seasonings that are right on the money!…

This cole slaw looks heavenly. I just had oral surgery & cannot chew ... but, will try it for Labor Day weekend! I've already been following your blog a while (Rose Whisperer - Anastasia's Secret Garden), and as of today, I've added your fanpage to my favorites on Facebook (I'm Buns 'N Roses). Have a great evening! Stacey
