Recipes

Cole Slaw without mayonnaise

1 medium head cabbage
1/2 C sugar
3/4 C oil
1 C vinegar
1/4-1/2 tsp dill seed (adjust to preference)
1 tsp Celery seed
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt

OPTIONAL VEGETABLES: onions, green peppers, grated or thinly sliced carrots, sliced radishes

Grate or finely chop the vegetables to preferred size (I use a processor to get them pretty fine.) Boil the sugar, oil & vinegar in a saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop, until sugar is dissolved. (Do NOT use microwave)

Stir in seasonings. While hot, pour entire mixture over veggies & cover tightly.

Refrigerate at least 24 hours so it can marinate.
Coconut Cream Pie

1 graham cracker crust
1 T sugar
1/2 c milk
3 oz cream cheese-softened
1-1/3 c shredded coconut
8 oz Cool Whip
1/2 t almond flavoring

NOTE: I like to toast a little coconut and put in on the crust before I pour in the filling. Just gives it a 'toasty' flavor!

Beat cream cheese fluffy. Blend in sugar and milk until smooth. Fold in coconut, Cool Whip and vanilla. Spoon into crust and freeze firm 4 hours. Let stand room temp for 15 min.
Ice Cream Topping ala Magic Shell

1 (6 ounce) package chocolate chips
1/2 stick butter or margarine
1/4 cup corn oil

Melt chips and butter together (microwave on low). When melted, add oil.

Pour over ice cream and it will harden.

OPTIONAL: Use the white chocolate chips and cherry flavoring
