for the love of coleslaw

i'm addicted to coleslaw lately!!! no joke! i'm crAving it like a crAzy woman! i eat it with nearly every meal.....teryaki chicken, pork tacos, casseroles, burgers...anything!! so i just wanted to say.....COLESLAW IS YUMMY and quite versatile!

my favorite recipe:

3/4 cup mayo
2 T sour cream
2 T sugar
3 T vinegar (i like malt vinegar)
1 t dry mustard
2 T grated onion

*toss with finely sliced green and purple cabbage and grated carrots
*add salt and ALOT of fresh ground pepper

OH MY DELICIOUSNESS!!!!!!!

**funny side note**......Kalani doesn't really like coleslaw. oops! sorry honey...hopefully i'll get over it sOOn...;)
