Cole Slaw - Donna Hay WWDH

Here we are again and this week Gaye chose our dish, cole slaw.  I have never made a cole slaw like this.  I left out the capers and since I don't use raw eggs, I mixed a bit of may with the white wine vinegar. 
What impressed me the most was the radishes.  They seemed out of place but when I mixed them into the cabbage they blended beautifully.  Certainly, the add a nice color and texture to the slaw.  I also did not make cabbage wedges since I already had, in the refrigerator, a bag of shredded cabbage.

I served this with chicken burgers and potato kugel and this rounded it off and brought in the healthy side of the meal.

This recipe came from Modern Classics 1 and is found on page 46.  I have two of Donna's books and a list of others, I want to own.  There are many good recipes on her site so anyone can cook from her collection.  We welcome anyone who would like to join us.  Let us know and we will send you the list of recipes, we are making.

I have not checked out the other cooks sites yet, so why not join me in seeing what they did with their cole slaw.

Gaye, Margaret, Sarah and Kayte

    What a lovely slaw. The radishes add wonderful color. I didn't get to this one.

    Your coleslaw looks fresh and vibrant, and the radishes add a great colour contrast. I thought the cabbage wedge thing was weird and ignored it.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
