Coleslaw 2.0

 I came across this recipe and love it more than the Helmann's recipe. This is from Creme de la Crumb.

3 Cups shredded cabbage & 1/2 C shredded carrots (I use a 16 oz bag of coleslaw mix)

Dressing: 

1/2 C mayo
1 T honey
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 T rice vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

Mix dressing ingredients and toss into shredded cabbage

Cornbread

 This recipe comes from Sally's Baking Addiction and it is my favorite so far. The only thing I have changed is the amounts of corn meal and flour.


1 1/4 C cornmeal
3/4 C flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/5 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 C (one stick) butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/3 C brown sugar
2 Tbs honey
1 egg, a little warmer than refrigerator temp
1 C buttermilk or whole mile, a little warmer than refrigerator temp

Preheat oven to 400
Grease square or round baking pan
Whisk dry ingredients
In separate bowl, whisk butter, brown sugar, and honey together until smooth, then egg, then milk
Combine wet and dry ingredients and whisk until smooth, do not overmix
Pour batter into pan and bake about 20 minutes
