With the exception of the cole slaw, that looks exactly like my Atkins road trip kit.

Great recipe and if you wanna push it over the top...add a teaspoonful of ground horseradish....Not enough to make it hot, just round it out.

Blue Bell, "the best ice cream in the country," is still 1/2 gallon.
It costs more than it used to, but it's damn well worth it.
I don't know how far out of Texas it is available...

I guess I'm going to have to spring for some pre-sliced cabbage. I end up wasting to much of a whole head of cabbage just for myself.
Every once in a while I like canned corned beef. It seems only a few months ago I could a 14 oz. can for about $2, the other day a store brand can was going four $4.59.....WTF? - 8/30/12, 2:45 PM

Similar to the Asian Slaw recipie I use (just use Rice Wine Vinegar instead of the Red Wine Vinegar.)
If you want to get fancy, throw in a can of Mandarin Oranges, too... - 8/30/12, 4:36 PM

Lifelong Texan here, recently moved to Wisconsin and can't find it anywhere.
Interestingly, when I lived in Saudi Arabia, it was available at the Tamimi Safeway. Go figure.

The Miracle Whip is there for the sweetness and other nuanced flavors to balance the acid of the vinegar. If you don't like it just substitute mayo but don't attribute it to me please. I'm an Iowa boy we and used Miracle whip in alot of dressings. BTW Miracle whip is better than mayo on turkey sandwiches with a little salt & pepper. Again it brings out the flavor of the turkey much better.

Are you crazy, man?! Flame wars have been started for less.
Officially, Best Food/Hellman's is mayo. Miracle Whip is salad dressing.
That said, MW doesn't seem to taste the same as I remember from my kid-hood. I agree, it made *great* turkey sandwiches!! - 8/30/12, 10:31 PM

Ben & Jerry could give their ice cream away and I still wouldn't eat it. I don't buy cop killer ice cream.

You're right Leelu. MW seems to be thinner as well from what I remember.

As much as people's tastes vary, the best commercial mayo sold is Trader Joe's house brand. If you have access to it, try it. Even "Cook's illustrated" picked it as best.
Also, to avoid the soggies in home made coleslaw, schnitz the cabbage and salt it in a colander over a bowl for a couple of hours beforehand. It will draw out the water in the cabbage. - 8/31/12, 9:42 AM

I add halved grapes to my cole slaw. Hey - don't knock it unless you've tried it.
Also Marzetti's Dressing.
