I don’t like bananas.  Never have and I am really not sure what it is I don’t like about them.  That being said you are probably wondering why in the world am I giving you a recipe using bananas.  I was flipping through a cookbook one day that claimed this Caramelized Banana Pudding offered a whole new taste to the classic banana pudding.  So of course I had to try it.  I am a food blogger that doesn’t like something as common as a banana.  There is something wrong with that.  Well, I must admit this pudding doesn’t taste like

Since I gave you a fabulous pulled pork recipe yesterday, it is only fitting that you have a coleslaw recipe handy to make for those pulled pork sandwiches.

Coleslaw is a favorite at summer picnics and barbecues.    It’ the perfect pairing for hot dogs, hamburgers, even fish, and of course it’s somewhat of an essential for anything with barbecue sauce.

This recipe is  a creamy, tangy, basic coleslaw recipe.  My husband’s favorite is to add some chopped apples for even more delicious crunch.
