Creamy Slaw, Tators N Ham, & More

Sep 01, 2025

Slaw is like a good friend. It can spark conversation, get along great with others, and dress up for dinner with a sweet or sour kick. This month a creamy sweetened slaw recipe comes from my friend Ann. I confess, I don’t always measure ingredients. I used to cook with a friend, and whenever I revised a recipe, I more than ruffled her feathers. She gave me heck. Of course, I never scribbled down what I added or subtracted so we never could replicate some of the greatest culinary creations. Perhaps instead of creations, experiments may provide a more accurate description!

Thanks to Ann, you have a great creamy slaw recipe with accurate measurements.

I do confess to adding little cucumbers and grape tomatoes to mine.


If you love to make something special with sweet yeast dough, make these special treats. They may look fancy, but they are so easy and never fail me!

Cream Cheese Danish with Jam

Check out your refrigerator and see if you have about three near-empty jam jars hanging out. It seems that last little bit just needs to be used up so you can buy new jam. We had cherry preserves, orange marmalade, blackberry, and strawberry. And we always have pecans and walnuts in bags in the freezer.

My husband would die if the doctor ever told him to quit eating nuts.

That reminds me of an old joke. Want to hear it? It’s one of those jokes Gram told.
I never knew if it was a joke or a true story. What do you think?

An old man went to the doctor with his wife. He relied totally on his wife for he was extremely hard of hearing. The doctor completed his physical and gave this report.

“Harold, you are healthy as a horse. With a lot of love, good home cooked meals, and a lot of sex you can live to be well over a hundred.”

Harold leaned toward his wife and said, “Honey, what did he say?”

Cupping her hands over his ear, she shouted, “The doctor said, ‘you’re gonna die.’”

Chocolate-Zucchini Cake

Zucchini is still in season so see if you like this moist cake. Not too sweet and great with dream whip, whipped cream, or Redi-whip whichever fat content you desire! We have so many choices these days. I am always trying to find something new when I do a bazaar. So many people love chocolate! Bet you were thrilled when you found out chocolate is rich in antioxidants. I know I was.
