Carolina Coleslaw

North Carolina is known for its barbeque.  We love it so much we even have an app where to find the best bbq.   And you can’t eat it alone.  Carolina is known for its many different recipes of coleslaw.  There is creamy slaw, Asian slaw, milk slaw, vinegar slaw.  I have tried them all and my favorite is just too simple to make. You don’t have to pull out the handy grater or marinate it overnight.  It is another Sandra Lee moment.  My mother would call me out on it. But I swear by this recipe and know once you try it, you will put it in your recipe book.

And thinking of the handy grater. I realized   gone are days of the hand grater.  We all have one still in our pantry. And it is way in the back. With blenders and choppers, the handy grater doesn’t get the appreciation it once did.    My grater was a gift when we married and I would never part with it. So instead of it hanging alone in the back of the pantry, I decided to dress it up and display it  in the kitchen.  It got so many compliments, I bought several , YES, I bought several, to decorate for gifts.  You never know what and when you are inspired by something.  The handy grater is now back in demand in a new way.
