Memorial Day Recipes

                    
Cute tablescape from- Sunnysimplelife.blogspot.com 
I wish I could find a mini-table like hers, sigh...

I found this recipe in an issue I bought of Grit (fun magazine!), then online here- KFC Style Coleslaw Recipe I decided to try it since I like their coleslaw. I modified it- used only buttermilk, doubled the vinegar, cut the sugar in 1/2, added some celery seed. It was great with my barbecued ribs, cornbread and Citrus Angel Food Cake made with all my own eggs. I didn't have any frozen OJ, so I subbed 2 TBL. honey and 1 TBL. fresh lemon juice. Came out perfect!

We Lost Samantha

Rest in peace my sweet girl. We miss you so much, my heart is broken...
