Today's the 4th of July and we'll be having traditional picnic-style foods (well, and scalloped potatoes bcause Michaela insisted we do that rather than potato salad). I decided to do some coleslaw. I was all set to buy my own cabbage and carrots, but they had bags on sale at the grocery store, so I did that instead. That meant all I had to do was make the dressing.

As written, the dressing really is just like KFC's. It's VERY sweet. This recipe calls for 1/3 cup sugar. I decided I'd start with half that and add more if needed, but honestly, it didn't need it.

(Also, I didn't make it vegan. I used regular milk and mayo.)

I'm old. I'm not on TikTok. But even I hear about viral food things sometimes. (Thanks, Instagram Reels! ha ha)

Anyway, I read a blog post that referenced the viral TJ dumpling bake and it sent me looking for a recipe. That's how I found this. I made it and I gotta say, it was pretty delicious!

Sure, it's putting together a bunch of stuff that's packaged, so this isn't the most healthy thing. But I appreciated how easy it was and that M and M both enjoyed it.
