Goldie's Cole Slaw

If you've ever eaten Goldie's Cole Slaw, you know that it is the best ever! As a matter fact, it is about the only coleslaw I will eat. I tried this recipe tonight. It wasn't exact (as I hear they mix some of their bread and butter pickle juice in with their's) but it was pretty darn close...it was YUMMY!!!

8 cups (one small head) cabbage, shredded or sliced thin
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup mayonnaise

Mix all together and allow to stand several hours or overnight.

Blue Cheese Dressing

There are very few bottled salad dressings that I like, so I prefer to make my own! We eat a lot of salads, so I am always looking for new and different ways to make salad, to shake it up a bit!

I made a salad last night with chopped iceberg lettuce, REAL bacon bits, french fried onions and this dressing...so good! This would also make a great dip for buffalo wings, veggies, etc! You won't believe how easy it is!

Ingredients:

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp distilled white vinegar
1 cup blue cheese crumbles (less if you don't want it chunky)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

HOW EASY IS THAT?????

Fall Salad

This has become my very favorite salad! I came up with it based on other salads that I had seen with similar ingredients, but made it my own! Try it!

Ingredients:

Lettuce of your choice...I like to use pre-washed bagged or boxed lettuce and I like to try different types...shakes it up a little bit!

Dried cranberries

Glazed almond and pecan pieces

Cheese...I prefer blue cheese crumbles, but will shred some cheddar cheese, if that's all I have on hand, like this time (see my Note About Cheese.)

Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

Steps:

In a bowl, put lettuce, a handful of cranberries, a handful of nut pieces, a handful of cheese and top with dressing. Voila! A quick and easy side dish!
