You May Ditch The Steak Once You Have A Taste Of This Yummy Coleslaw

You know what the most important thing about food is to me? Besides delicious flavor, of course. I think that food should look good.

Now, I don’t mean the kind of dishes you get in a fine-dining restaurant, although I do think they’re amazing. But I want every dish I make to look delicious, and not only smell and taste great. There’s a very easy trick that will immediately make your everyday dishes look pretty. Want to know what it is? Just add plenty of color!

I think it has actually been scientifically proven that colorful meals don’t just look better – they taste better and are, overall, healthier than less colorful dishes. When it comes to coleslaw I think any kind of cabbage is good for you, but you just can’t beat the beautiful purple hue of red cabbage, can you?

This red cabbage coleslaw recipe is a very simple, yet super tasty one. It is a great basic coleslaw that complements any meal, and you can add some of your favorite ingredients to amp it up even more. Try chopping in some red and yellow bell peppers – I always add those and they make it even more colorful!

Quick Tip: If you don’t have a food processor, just cut very thin slices to make “shredded” cabbage.

I am a HUGE fan of Texas Sheet cake brownies. How about you guys? My husband was the first person to introduce me to this magical fudgy delight because the man can make this dessert on his own, meaning he doesn’t use a recipe. Yep. Impressive, isn’t it? He just keeps his own recipe in his head and tosses things into the mixing bowl like a rockstar. And guess what? His Texas Sheet cakes always come out perfectly. It’s truly a culinary miracle. Anyway, I was telling my husband that we should make his Texas Sheet cake brownies for our dinner guests the following night.

My husband said, “How about we make them Texas Sheet cake cookies?” I was all intrigued by what he meant by “cookies.” Then, he showed me a recipe over at Cookies And Cups and the heavens opened.

This recipe for Texas Sheet Cake Cookies looks delicious and the texture of the cookies are fudgy and chewy just like the brownies. Our dinner guests are going to go gaga for these things!

Quick Tip: Make sure not to overbake these cookies. The insides will remain soft and dense if baked correctly.

Orange vanilla monkey bread is one of my all-time favorite desserts to make and I know my family sure does love it too! If you are already a fan of monkey bread you are going to be a mega fan of this orange vanilla version. The flavor combinations are just simply divine. I can’t get enough of this bread, y’all. And guess what? This bread isn’t hard to make at all! The other day I went to a ladies breakfast at the church and I needed to bring a dish to pass so this is what I brought.

Typically, I bring a breakfast casserole but I wanted to change things up a bit. You know, I wanted to keep those church ladies guessing and give them a little surprise lol.

My vanilla orange monkey bread went over perfectly.

Variations: I love eating this monkey bread with my morning coffee.

I really like pasta dishes. Like for realz, y’all. For one, pasta dishes are typically really easy to whip up and this one is the ultimate of ease. It takes less than 30 minutes to make and before you know it you have a savory and wholesome meal on the table waiting and ready to fill the hungry bellies of your family. My husband and kids love this dish and I usually serve it with a tossed salad and bread. Do you enjoy dousing your food in Parmesan cheese?

I sure do! You’ll find a mound of parm on my pasta. In fact, my pasta usually looks like a winter blizzard swept over it if that gives you any idea as to how much parmesan cheese I dust over it.

Believe it or not, I don’t prefer the freshly shredded parm cheese but the grated stuff that comes in the green can. It’s just so ding dang good!

Variations: Make this easy dish using fun-shaped pasta.

I love little slider sandwiches, don’t you? They are easy to make and they taste incredible. Plus, you get to personalize them by adding your favorite cheese or sauces or a combination of both to your slider. I personally prefer American cheese with spicy Deli mustard. Yum! How do you plan on making your grilled chicken and bacon sliders? Let me know your ideas in the comments 🙂 This recipe is amazing because it serves 16 people so basically if you had a crowd of 8 ready to eat at your home that means everyone gets to have two.

However, you might want to double or even triple this recipe when you are serving these sliders to big eaters. After all, these sliders are small and probably equivalent to like 1 whole burger, right?

Quick Tip: Change up the cheese, toppings, however, you’d like!

Tis the season for baking up yummy goodies such as cakes, cookies, and pies. Today’s recipe is for a cool and crisp chocolate peppermint patty cake. Now, this cake is perfect for Christmas because of its peppermint essence. I don’t know, I could eat this cake on a hot summer day, too just to cool off. Anyway, this recipe is very easy to follow and you’ll be amazed by the results. One thing that I like to do when making this cake is to serve it with peppermint stick ice cream or the seasonal favorite “Candy Cane.”

It just gives the cool factor of the cake and added push. My whole family loves this cake and my littlest cake eater loves to pull off the peppermint patties from everyone’s slices and hoard them to eat later.

Kid is gonna have to wrestle me for mine 🙂
