Colorful Caribbean Coleslaw with Citrus Dressing is bursting with bright tropical flavors.
If you’re like me, you are hanging on to every bit of summer. I wanted to make a coleslaw recipe that sings of summer. Bright, cheerful, and refreshing.
I also wanted to make a Jerk Turkey Burger and knew this would pair perfectly.
It’s a Win-Win!

Mu Shu Chicken Cabbage Rolls.
Chinese New Year is always an ‘event’ for me.
My passion for this holiday stems from what used to be my day job, which was…importing door locks. Hold on, don’t run away so fast.

Growing up in beautiful New England was a blessing for so many reasons. The small town simple life made way for creativity and adventure.

When I opened the fridge door the Ziploc bag of wonton wrappers had neatly made it’s way to the top of the container of leftover boiled dinner. Clearly it was a case of love at first sight.

We like many, had Corned Beef & Cabbage for St. Patrick’s Day. We like many, have leftovers to repurpose. Gruyere Cabbage was a dish my mom made often. Today, I dug out the 30-year old hand written recipe card, made sense of the measurements, and added bacon. Oh my! I think Mom would be proud.
