It's Slaw Season

For some reason I've been eating a lot of cabbage recently (may or may not be due to the cheapness of said cabbage), and though I like my old stand-by coleslaw recipe (1 chopped head of cabbage, 2 grated carrots, 3 generous dollops of mayo, 1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning), I've decided to branch out a little and try some new coleslaw recipes. And since everybody in the family is becoming vegan, why not make a slaw without any animal products?

So here's a shot of last night's Lime and Peanut Coleslaw. Mine isn't quite as colorful as the recipe because I substituted an avocado for the grape tomatoes. But it's still tasty. And if you're Dad (and you like tons of cilantro), be sure to add in a little extra.



And then to disprove my claim about us all becoming vegans, here's a photo of the coleslaw complete with a bacon cheeseburger. Did you know you can grill bacon? I don't know how I've gotten this far in life without knowing that.
