Crunchy And Delicious – This Copycat Coleslaw Will Become Your Favorite Side Dish

If you’ve ever been to Kentucky Fried Chicken, I bet you’ve also had their famous coleslaw. I know I certainly couldn’t leave that place without ordering it! Unfortunately, there isn’t a KFC nearby and I just don’t have the time to drive to the nearest one whenever I feel like it. No worries – when there’s a problem, you find a solution and move on. Right? That’s exactly what I did; I asked around and found this amazing copycat recipe that is even better than the real thing!

Coleslaw is such a perfect side dish for pretty much any meal. Sure, most of us are used to serving it with our BBQ, but I tend to put it in just about everything. Chicken and mashed potatoes? Coleslaw it is. Bacon and cheeseburger? Stuff it with coleslaw! Surely it’s not for pita wraps? Well of course it is! You name it – I’ve tried it!

Another note about coleslaw…did you realize how versatile it is? It isn’t only for putting into a bowl or on a plate and eating with a fork. No, sir! You put coleslaw on pulled pork sandwich, burgers, or even use it as a relish for hot dogs. How awesome is that?

Combine Your Two Favorite Pastries Into One Incredible Dessert

Which one do you prefer; donuts or doughnuts? Not that it really matters – I should be asking you whether you like donuts or muffins better!

If you can’t make up your mind, this is the perfect recipe for you. Just combine them and you’ll never have to decide between the two! I don’t even know where to begin with these… maybe I should start by saying these look amazing. Which you can, of course, see in that picture. These will also make your house smell so wonderful that you’re going to have to shoo a bunch of strangers away from your front door. Finally, we get to the taste. I don’t think I’m able to explain how delicious these are – you’re going to have to make them yourself to find out!

This recipe makes 12 regular size muffins – of course you are free to use a jumbo muffin tin to make larger muffins. In that case, you should adjust the baking time accordingly.

Better Than Your Mother’s – And Your Grandma’s!

Let me tell ya, I’ve seen a lot of weird recipe ingredients. I mean, really weird. But this is the first time I came across a recipe that uses Pepsi for pork roast!

It sounded so strange that I had to take a closer look. I have no idea what it is about Pepsi that makes the pork taste so delicious. Friends, this pork roast is so close to perfection, I can’t even describe it. The best part is, this is a slow cooker recipe! You literally just dump all the ingredients into your slow cooker and let it work its magic. When you check back after a few hours, you’ll have a delicious dinner waiting for you!

This is one of those recipes that turn out so amazing, you could serve this for a very special occasion. However, you’re going to love this so much that it will probably become your favorite weeknight dinner! I just made this last week and I’m already planning on making it again!

Quick Tip: Change the flavors by using cream of celery soup instead of cream of mushroom soup!

I tolerate nightmares as long as they don’t involve me abandoning the juiciest sausage or the most aromatic pasta. I am a food lover, and having to leave that scrumptious piece of dish just because a mad man is chasing after me is unforgivable. So far though, even with all my weird dreams, there was never a time that I dreamed of such a horrifying event. Dad isn’t so lucky. When I went to visit them a week ago, Mom told me this hilarious story about Dad not wanting to eat potatoes and broccoli for a month because of his dream. Since Dad wasn’t at home when I arrived, I was able to hear the full story without his protest.

Mom said Dad woke up one night and immediately went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water. Worried, Mom went after him only to find him blushing when asked what was wrong. The dream was about him eating potato wedges and steamed broccoli. Soon, the potato wedges were chasing him with knives in their hands. He saw an opening to escape, but he was blocked by giant broccoli florets. Dad woke up before he was turned into a dinner dish. I was laughing so hard that I couldn’t keep a straight face in front of him when he arrived. Mom cooked potatoes with broccoli for dinner that night just to tease him further. While I enjoyed the simple but delicious meal, I enjoyed even more watching Dad’s attempt to give us a silent treatment.

Quick Tip: Sprinkle with extra cheese on top if you want it cheesier.

I thought these types of things only happen in books and movies, but it also happens in real life. A couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend and I both finally had a free weekend together so we wanted to spend it spoiling each other by relaxing together or doing favors for each other. One thing I always appreciated was when he cooked something special, something different that I hadn’t tasted before. He made this dish that he discovered over at Southern Bite. It was a version of what his mom used to cook before, but it has a different twist to it.

He used cauliflower, something that I wasn’t a fan of, but I always trusted him to make a special meal for me. He’s a much better cook than me! He grew up cooking while I just learned to cook in college. The wonderful aroma started infusing the air that I couldn’t wait to eat what he just cooked. When he called me to the kitchen, I was already excited. But even before I reached the kitchen, the doorbell rang and I answered it. It was one of our neighbors. She told us she has a mini impromptu party in her house and that we’re invited. I couldn’t say No. The dinner the boyfriend cooked for me ended up being shared by twenty people that night. I managed to get a taste though. And I wasn’t wrong when I said he’s one super home chef.

Quick Tip: Serve with a plate of salad.

Have you ever had that moment when you were so surprised that it made you panic you ended up crying to Mom regardless of your age? That happened to me just recently. When I first met my boyfriend’s parents, it had gone well to the point that they invited us to have dinner at their house so his Mom can properly cook for us in her own kitchen. I was excited because his Mom cooked really delicious dishes (she often sent us a few) and I would love to finally see where he grew up. I met his brothers already; they’re my friends, but I haven’t been to his hometown.

When we arrived, his Mom and a couple of his brothers welcomed us. What I didn’t expect was the huge group of relatives inside the house. I wasn’t so good with crowds, but I wanted to get to know them just as how he got to know the side of my family. Everything went well until one of the cousins requested the “newcomer” to cook something for them. His Mom was encouraging so I couldn’t say no, even though my boyfriend said I didn’t have to do it. I was alone in the kitchen when I realized what I just agreed into and panicked. I called my Mom, crying and asking for her help. She told me to relax and as long as there’s chicken, I didn’t need to panic. She taught me how to make another home-cooked comfort meal—her chicken and gravy. Fortunately, I did it right. The dish was a hit because they said it reminded them of their own mothers’ cooking. But yeah, my nerves took a hit on me too.

Quick Tip: Serve with bread or over rice.

I am not a fan of meatloaf simply because it always tastes best with the sauce and I’m not a fan of anything that has ketchup on it. I hate anything sweet and sour. It just tastes so wrong to me. Even its supposed aroma doesn’t smell good to me! So while I love meat, meatloaf is something that I never learned to love. The first time I ever tasted it was when Mom was trying the recipe recommended by a friend. She didn’t want to waste the meatloaf so we had to eat it. First taste and I did a form of escape, something that I had never done for food. Let’s just say I was hungry that night. And every night, when there’s meatloaf on the menu.

And then I tasted this. I’m now an adult so I feel more confident in tasting dishes that don’t fit my taste. This was a recipe found by a friend over at Southern Bite. The first question I asked was, “does it still have ketchup as its sauce?”. When she said yes, I was about to retreat. But then I smelled the aroma and decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, even with that hint of sweet and sour, I liked it. It smells so good and the sourness is not as overwhelming to the taste. Meatloaf is still not on my favorite list of food, but this particular recipe just took a place on it. Meatloaf lover or not—you have to try this!
