Slaw is pretty standard fare around our house. It’s my go to side for barbecue, fish, hamburgers and just about anything.  We have debates about my cole slaw recipes.  Mostly I hear my newest recipe was okay but not as good as Grandma’s.

I tried a new chicken recipe the other night using chicken thighs.  I was a little unsure of the recipe so I baked a pan of chicken legs coated in Italian salad dressing to go with it.  Guess what, the guys didn’t even touch the thighs and I wasn’t impressed. I’ve mentioned before that growing [...]
