Great coleslaw with a few changes! I followed the basic recipe but left out the pickles, and slivered almonds, and added raisins and sunflower seeds instead. Kids emptied the bowl, so it will be repeated! -
This was an enjoyable coleslaw, and I liked the addition of sour cream. I had never made slaw with pickles and wasn't sure how I would feel about that addition, but it was a nice change. I used coleslaw mix, skipped the almonds, and added celery seed. I also scaled the recipe down and just eyeballed a few of the ingredients, but I must have gotten pretty close because it was very good. :) Thanks for posting! -
This is a great salad. I like the addition of the dill pickles(I used dill relish) and sour cream. I did add just a touch of sugar and about 3 tbls. of milk to make it a little wetter. Thanks Renegade! -

<p>September 15, 2007: Here's a photo of me and my two girls before leaving our hotel room to go to an Avett Brothers concert. We're all huge fans of the group. We're also huge fans of each other. It's fun to have adult children. <br /> <br /> <br />--- About me: I'm an artist, and art teacher to kids kindergarten age through 8th grade. My life whirls at a breakneck pace. I teach approximately 800 students, and have 30 different classes each week. It's crazy!!! The rewards, however, are the numerous hugs and good vibes I get from my students. If I didn't have my good-looking husband to stabilize me, I'd surely be sporting a straight-jacket. Oh, and did I mention my yarn obsession? I've made hundreds of crochet items in the past few months, and have a little shop on etsy. Check out my website when you have the time:</p>
