Week Three: Coleslaw
Week Four: Bagels
COLESLAW!
I really like coleslaw, I think it’s my southern upbringing and the fact that my grandparents used to own and manage various KFC restaurants. I have lots of memories of myself eating biscuits with honey and coleslaw from KFC. Seems gross now but my 7 year old self totally loved it at the time. I never really thought of coleslaw as something I could ever make and achieve greatness with… but I surprised myself! This recipe I put together was simply wonderful.
Vegan Slaw
Ingredients:
1 medium cabbage (or a bag of coleslaw mix if you’re lazy or have crappy knives like I do)
1 red pepper
1-2 carrots
3 green onions
Dressing mix:
1/4 cup vegan sour cream
1/2 cup veganaise
1/4 cup soymilk
1/3 (or less depending on how sweet you like your slaw) cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
1 T rice vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp celery seed
Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend.
Shred your cabbage or dump your bag of coleslaw mix into a large bowl. Cut up red pepper and onion, slice carrots into small pieces, and combine in bowl with cabbage. Pour dressing over the veggies and mix well. Cover and refrigerate.
This tastes best the second day but if you can’t stop yourself (I couldn’t) then it will still taste pretty darn good a few hours after you put it all together.
Serve with veggie bbq sandwiches or with anything else you can think of!
BAGELSsssss
I basically followed this recipe step by step and then created my own toppings.
Unfortunately, I totally forgot to add the oil (eeek!) and so they came out super dry. Also, my oven sucks a lot and can’t ever stay on a steady temp. so my bagels got burned. BUT I really loved making them and want to try again and cook them in my toaster oven 2 at a time. Here are some pictures from the process… I am determined to get good at this.
Notice me boiling the bagels! I had no idea this was required in making them. Super entertaining.
More notes: caraway seeds are the bessst. My sweetheart helped me make these and we did a few poppy, sesame, caraway, and everything bagels. Next time I’ll have to experiment with sweet toppings.
