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 .

BBQ shredded chicken sliders

  Hi friends, Today I'm sharing one of our favorite chicken recipes: BBQ Chicken Sliders. It is super simple and can be prepped ahead so you can take with you anywhere or prepare in a hurry to feed your crew.  1) Start by adding 6-8 frozen chicken breasts (I purchase a big bag of individual flash frozen chicken breasts at Costco) into my Instant Pot and line them side by side. (If chicken will be used only for this recipe create a delicious bbq shredded chicken with: 2 cups of bbq sauce, 1/2 cup of italian dressing, 1/8 cup brown sugar and 1 cup of water to the I.P.) 2) Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the bottom of the I.P. add lid and seal to venting.  3) Cook on manual for 14-15 minutes and let sit for another 5-10 minutes before doing a quick release. 4) Remove from I.P. and shred chicken while still hot (it should shred easily) * I like to use tongs to shred the meat by lightly twisting the meat apart.  5) Set meat aside  6) Prep sliders by slicing your chosen ro...

Tips for planning the perfect trip to Charleston South Carolina

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...
