Apple Bacon Coleslaw

 So, as I am easing into this new schedule of blogging every week, I am also going to be re-doing some of my old recipes for paleo and/or Whole30 compliance. This recipe is one I came up with a few years back, and I love as a side with ribs or BBQ. I hope you will also enjoy it!

Ingredients

For the slaw...

  • 1/2 head of cabbage, sliced very thin, or a bag of slaw mix from the grocery store
  • 1 lb bacon, cut into small pieces and fried (Sugar free for Whole30!)
  • 1 apple, skin on, sliced and diced (I used Pink Lady's this time, but have had success with Honey Crisp as well.)
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced and diced

For the dressing...

  • Juice from one lemon
  • 1/4 cup of spicy brown mustard
  • 1/4 cup mayo (Make sure the mayo is compliant if you're doing Whole30!)
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • salt and fresh ground pepper

In a small bowl whisk the dressing ingredients together. In a larger bowl mix the cabbage, bacon, apple, and red onion. Add the dressing to the cabbage mixture and fold ingredients until the dressing is well incorporated. I served the slaw with smoked ribs and roasted sweet potato chunks. Tessamae's makes a great Whole30 BBQ sauce.

See you next Tuesday!

Hearts of Palm Bruschetta

Hello, and thanks for checking out this recipe! This is one I've been making for a few years now, and I love serving it over turkey burgers on a big bed of lettuce. It would also be lovely on some roasted eggplant, as an appetizer with zucchini chips, as a topping for grilled chicken...the list of possibilities goes on and on! Ingredients 1 can of diced hearts of palm 3-4 plum tomatoes, diced 1 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tsp minced garlic 1/2 oz fresh basil salt and pepper to taste This is really a very simple recipe. You just put everything in the bowl and stir it up. I like to save a little of the fresh basil for a garnish right before serving. Thanks for checking in! See you next Tuesday!
