Maybe its just the inevitable slow march to summer for us here in the Northeast or the fact that we have been locked in our homes for the last couple of months, but I am SO ready for summer! Although, we are likely a long way off from those lazy beach days, we have had a few decent days and it makes me want to get outside and enjoy a great backyard barbeque. For now, its just a very select guest list, namely my husband and I and some furry, four-legged children. But its good practice for when can finally socialize again.
One of my biggest complaints with most commercial and restaurant coleslaws…. way too much mayonnaise! I found this super simple and delicious recipe for coleslaw. You won’t even miss the mayonnaise!
