Homemade Coleslaw

 Hi Friends,

Today I'm sharing my favorite coleslaw recipe. I love that it can be adapted to your preference with just a few tweaks. One is rich and creamy and the other is a vinaigrette. Both are equally delicious and make an excellent side dish or as a topper to this yummy bbq shredded chicken slider recipe: https://thishomeschoolerslife.blogspot.com/2020/10/bbq-shredded-chicken-sliders.htm .



Coleslaw Ingredients:

  • 3 cups green cabbage finely shredded

* 1 tablespoon white vinegar

* 1/2 tablespoon cider vinegar

* 2 teaspoons sugar

* salt & pepper to taste


Instructions:

Touring the Plantations of Charleston, part I: Drayton Hall

One of our main hopes while we visited Charleston was to visit & tour some of the stunning southern plantations in the area. While we were in Charleston we managed to visit 4 out of 5 plantations that are in close proximity of the city.  Join me as I take us on a tour of Drayton Hall, Middleton Place, Magnolia Plantation and Boone Hall Plantation. We will stroll down history lane, as I share my favorite parts of each plantation, a little brief history of each, recommendations of what to see first, time to arrive at each plantation & best day/time to visit them.  To get started one of the first things to consider is which plantations you'd like to visit and the amount you are comfortable spending & then decide what time of year you plan to visit. You'll need to figure out how many plantations you plan to visit during your vacation and how you'd like to fit your tours into your schedule. *I'd also suggest planning to start your day(s) bright and early to allow...

Tips for planning the perfect trip to Charleston South Carolina

Have you ever visited a place and instantly fell in love with everything about it?  Visiting Charleston is absolutely magical, it's like being transported back to a different place and time. Where all the stress from a crazy, chaotic whirlwind of a year (like 2020) melts away and is exchanged for southern charm, sweet tea, a stroll down historic cobblestone  streets and an abundance of scenic & memorable locations to visit. When we arrived in Charleston I could immediately sense myself feeling lighter and more care free while the soothing gentle southern breezes washed over me. I wanted to savor every second of our vacation and for our time in this amazing city to never end. Sadly though, our reality was that we only had 4 days to explore around the city & surrounding areas. We also spent 1 amazing day in Savannah Georgia (you can read about our Georgia adventures in an up coming post! :)) Since we were in the holy city less than a full week we wanted to make sure to m...
