Carnival Coleslaw

Carnival Coleslaw is sweet and tangy and flavored with celery seeds. Find the recipe on Shutterbean.com

Carnival Coleslaw is my favorite coleslaw. It’s really the only coleslaw I eat. It’s a recipe from my childhood-from the school carnival my Mom helped run.  Here’s a pic of my mom in action!

Bev was the best!  I shared the recipe here on the blog in 2009 and she asked me to email it to her. When she died, I found the emailed recipe tucked into her recipe binder. It made me happy to see our email exchange.

Anywho. I love this coleslaw and continue to love it.

My Mom has been in my thoughts a lot lately. I like that I can keep her alive through her recipes. Also look at how much my photography has changed since 2009

Happy Monday, friends!

I’m late in posting this because I had a busy weekend in the city that included volunteering and photo adventures and my brain is SO DANG tired.

I WILL post the Meal Planning event details with my friend Helen Jane for August 6th (9AM-12PST) this week so if you’re interested, make sure you are subscribed to my newsletter.

Happy Monday, friends!

I tried to catch up on sleep this weekend but failed. Oof. My brain wakes up at 6 and doesn’t go back to sleep.  I hope to get some better sleep this week.
