Old-Fashioned Coleslaw

Travel Note: My husband and I will be on a cruise this week celebrating our one year anniversary. Today we will be enjoying Half Moon Cay, Bahamas.

It's almost that time of year again .. Fall. I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like fall. My husband only likes it because of the food and the weather; otherwise he hates that the next season is his least favorite: winter. Let's not rush that one, though. Fall reminds me of gourds, pumpkins and more fun flavors. One that I have yet to try (and that I have protested all my life) is coleslaw. I never eat it when it comes on the side at a restaurant. I never have made it before. Although this recipe needed some tweaking (I used a LOT less mustard), it was a pretty good start to a classic dish. I am trying to eat healthier now and vegetables are one category that I like to not veer from my "norms". This was one recipe I'm sure glad I didn't pass up.
