Tis the season for rummage sales. I love to go rummaging but don't take the time to go nearly enough anymore. I used to go quite often when my kids were little. I would come home with bags of toys, clothes, sporting goods etc. for the family for only a few dollars. It was very rewarding!!! To think you could acquire all of this for little money. That was important then as I was a stay at home mom raising 4 kids. I still love rummage saling but don't take the time to go very often anymore, although I would love to. Once or twice a year my husband and I will take a day and rummage. We each get an allowance to spend that day (to keep us from over-doing). We go out to lunch and generally just enjoy the day. Well last Saturday was a day that we did that. The weather was beautiful!! There was a city-wide sale that provided plenty of goods to choose from. My weakness is always kitchen gadgets and books. I can't pass them up. I always have to stop and take a look. Well, again as usual I came home with a recipe book that I am quite excited about. That book is "The Dinner Doctor" by Anne Byrn. She has many ideas and tips that she shares in this great book. I have been browsing through that almost 3" thick book to choose recipes to try. One that I tried last night I liked quite well and will mark it to make again. Here it is:
Southwestern Slaw
1 16 oz. pkg. coleslaw mix
1/2 c. finely chopped red onion
1/2 c. ranch salad dressing
1 t. ground cumin
1 ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
Creole seasoning or salt
black pepper
2 T. chopped fresh cilantro
Place coleslaw mix and onion in a serving bowl and stir to combine. Stir the cumin into ranch dressing and pour over the cabbage mixture stirring to combine all. Add salt to taste. (At this point I put in frig. to marry flavors until dinner, about 2 hours). At serving time I folded in the avocado cubes and sprinkled the top with cilantro. I didn't have Creole seasoning so I didn't use that.
This sounds yummy! I might have to try it!
