THE LADY'S COLESLAW (PAULA DEEN)
There are about as many coleslaw recipes as there are people. I myself like a variety coleslaws. I especially like the sweetness of this recipe from Paula Deen of the Food Network. The texture is also interesting as most of the ingredients are chopped in the food processor and half the cabbage is shredded. I think you can use a little more cabbage than the recipe calls for. I also like to mix in red cabbage for lots of color. (Cooking time listed is time standing in refrigerator).

PAULA DEEN'S MONEY SAVING COLE SLAW
This is a twist on a tradition Southern favorite. She mentions that the dressing will bring out the water in the slaw making it creamier while sitting, so don't think it's not enough when you first stir together!
