you are very obviously not from the south. green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots. then your dressing. now, theres two lines of religion on dressing. mayonnaise based or vinegar based. since i am anti religion, I dont like either one, so mix the two. equal parts mayo and apple cider vinegar. grated onion. sugar. copious amounts of celery seed. bit of honey. salt. pepper. and if you try to put raisins in my coleslaw ill dump the whole bowl on your head LOL
i will just pretend i did not see the atrocity that you spoke of... corn in coleslaw. good grief lol
for supper tonight .... tacos.

Easy slaw ( no corn, raisins or vinegar or celery seed )
You buy shredded cabbage in a bag….dice onions and celery, salt and pepper…add slaw dressing out of a bottle….stir and put in bowl!…….slaw!2 -
Tonight’s dinner is a shrimp platter from Publix, tossed salad and air fryer baked potatoes with light sour cream, diced onions and bacon bits…..dessert is coffee and biscotti…snack later is peanut butter on an apple!2

My slaw recipes:
Regular slaw: Shredded white cabbage; grated/finely chopped white onion; roughly grated carrot; a small grind of sea salt; a good dollop of mayo.
Asian slaw (a zingy, fresh-tasting slaw that marries perfectly with pulled pork or crispy shredded duck):
Shredded white cabbage; coarsely grated carrot; finely chopped red chilli; julienned sharp unpeeled apple (pref. granny smith or similar); finely chopped spring onion; juice and zest of a lime; splash of white wine vinegar.

Bag of three colored coleslaw (green cabbage, tiny bit of red and trace carrots).
Seasoning, especially salt to mush the slaw if feeling like seasoning and not just plain
Optionally add onions fresh by preference but it's not like I'm going to turn my nose down for non fresh
Maybe some vinegar especially if salted, or even better:
0% Greek yogurt.
Deal with it! 😘2 -
I've never met a coleslaw I liked, but will tolerate it on certain sandwiches, like pulled pork sliders 😝
Dinner tonight was frozen pizza, a brand called Urban Farmer that I hadn't tried before. It was a spinach and artichoke pizza on a broccoli and cauliflower crust and was tastier than expected! 940 cals for the entire pizza, I split it 50/50 with Mom and it was pretty filling.1 -

i have 20 ducks outside right now throwing a riot for their dinner (along with the chickens and goats). We are ignoring them for the moment.
We dont eat them though. We just want them for their eggs. LOL2 -

Bella your slaw is way too beautiful (and complicated)....
My slaw went in the bottom of a glass(lock) container (60 Cal worth). I nuked it for 2 minutes. Poured scalding water over it. Sunk my nest of non deep fried ("light") noodles with all the little packets worth 340 Cal in there too. Nuked it for a while. Didn't look soupy enough when I got up from the computer to eat it... broke 5g of knorr in there (out of low sodium knorr so I took the hit) and added another 250g of hot water... lunch was served!
Ooops: got to go back and log the knorr! I forgot to!!!

I'll eat duck. Nom. Although it's really fatty.
Today was hamburgers for lunch and a fish fry for dinner: Batter-dipped fried fish or fried shrimp, hush puppies, and shoestring fries. We do that once every five weeks. It's tasty when we have it but it's probably just as well that we don't have it so often.
Tomorrow is the trip to the grocery store, so it's pulled pork sandwiches for lunch cause easy, and Sweet and Sour Pork with white rice and mixed stirfry vegetables. This is also easy cause I prefry the pork bits.

After all yesterdays slaw talk - I made slaw today - and because it was a busy day, with the Boy, and we were having neighbours over for dinner (and the Boy thought we should have tacos - which is tricky when the cook is vegetarian and trying to figure out how to round out veggie tacos enough to make a fun meal for non-vegetarian guests), we went all out on the slaw front.
A lazy version of slaw though because carrying a head of cabbage home with all the other fun and exciting dinner stuff was just too heavy, so rather than shaving cabbage myself I bought a nice light bag of "Kale" slaw - with KALE, green and red cabbage and BROCOLLI! - added some grated carrot and CORN and then realized that I don't have mayo in the fridge anymore so figured maybe I could use some tahini to make the oil/white balsamic vinegar based dressing I made a bit creamier - but it tasted odd so I just had to go all out with some lemon juice, then some sugar, then a bit of lime juice, then some white wine vinegar.
By the end it was pretty good!
The entire time I was thinking of Connie and her corn in slaw aversion - but now that I read all today's posts and I learn that there is such a thing as a slaw religion, I realize that my kitchen concoctions were truly the act of a heretic.
And - we put pineapple in the salsa!!!!! (almost wanted to put some in the slaw - but figured we already had the sweet yellow corn so pineapple would be overkill
) 3 -
On a cruise I tried pineapple in slaw and it was ok….
Pineapple is good in “ pineapple” salsa….not in regular salsa!
Can not convince me to eat duck or duck eggs or goose eggs….2 -
Tonight I am fixing salads and I am having Zuchinni spaghetti and John is having real spaghetti….2

See Connie, you've moved over to the vegetetti dark side!

bake with duck eggs instead of chicken eggs.
youll never go back. promise.
i dont do seafood much anymore, because hubby doesnt like it, so now its only if hes doing travel work (which he hasnt in a couple of years) or sometimes for lunch, but I used to make a pineapple salsa thats good on a lot of things, but I liked it on fish tacos in particular or on salmon. and that for me, is a free for all of whatever you have that sounds good in it. I usually did lime, cilantro (just a little cause a little goes a long way), pineapple, tomato, sometimes corn (lol), and i dont remember what else ive tossed in it before. oh avocado. that was good.3 -
See Connie, you've moved over to the vegetetti dark side!
I love real pasta but you get such a bigger portion if you use Zuchinni….I layer nice meaty slices with CLASSICO ( I switched because of you! ) and diced onions, sliced mushrooms, Parmesan (1T. ) and a half cup (56 g. ) of shredded cheese….a little minced garlic…..it’s good with ricotta,too but I have a bowl of honey dew and watermelon I want later so I am saving some calories….
I even bought a tub of plain Greek yogurt….what do I do with it?
Still no canned fishies except the salmon that is still sitting in my pantry….
