If you have this slaw around you're very close to a meal of these great Veggie Pancakes.  This slaw should be macerated at least 1 day before making the veggie pancakes or there will be too much water.  Just knead in a little salt and let rest while they release the free water.

A nice topping for Sopes...among a host of other toppings you can mix and match.  Add the optional cilantro to the slaw for this meal.

• A bowl of slaw (1 recipe )
• Right before serving stir in: 1 cup cultured sour cream,
• 1-2 bunches chopped cilantro

Suddenly fish taco’s are a simple dinner.

Also good with tostados.

A bowl of slaw (1 recipe),

Right before serving add:

• 1 cup of crumbled blue cheese,
• 1 cup of freshly toasted sliced almonds or other nut or seed, *
• 1/2 cup craisins soaked in sherry vinegar and *dressing.

One recipe of slaw tossed with your homemade Caesar dressing,  Add some chopped chicken and a slice of whole wheat toast on the side.

A spoonful of fermented salsa and a poached egg.

Incorporate grits into your regular diet for an economical, nutritious and tasty breakfast addition that won't leave you feeling hungry.

This will keep you going strong until lunchtime or call it dinner.

• 1 recipe of slaw tossed with
• equal amounts of leftover whole wheat spaghetti or cooked Asian noodle,
• 1.5 cups freshly toasted, sliced almonds,
• 2-3 cups of chopped chicken,
• 1-2 bunches of green onions sliced lengthwise.

Immediately before serving toss with *Asian dressing until well coated. Don’t drown the salad.

Take leftover bits of ham and cube in ½ inch chunks. I like to start with at least 2 cups. (bone, fat removed).  Lightly chop in a food processor- you don’t want MUSH.  Add the prepared cabbage slaw base, yogurt or mayo and a Tb of yellow mustard.  Pulse the food processor a few times to blend together.  Taste…see if it might benefit from a fresh grating of black pepper.

We’ve been known to take this concoction and bake it into small “meat buns” stuffed with homemade deviled ham and a dab of fresh goat cheese.

OR just serve on sandwich or crackers.
