Wonderful slaw recipe passed down from my Grandmother's cook, Vernell. It's similar to a sweet and sour cabbage recipe, and will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Great served with beef brisket. Best made a day or more before serving.

- 1 large head cabbage , cored and shredded
- 0.75 cups white sugar , divided
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon celery seed

In a separate microwave safe bowl, combine the remaining sugar, oil, vinegar, mustard, celery seed and pepper. Stir to blend in the sugar, then heat until boiling in the microwave, about 3 minutes. Immediately, but carefully pour the boiling mixture over the cabbage. Toss with a wooden or plastic utensil to evenly coat the cabbage.

Walking Strawberry Pretzel Salad
Strawberry pretzel salad walks right off the buffet table in this fun recipe, combining all the elements of pretzel salad right in a snack-size bag of mini pretzels (inspired by walking tacos). Strawberries, whipped topping, jell-o, and pudding, plus salty pretzels, make for a winning go-anywhere snack.
Mini Ham Loaves
These mini ham loaves are a family favorite. My aunt used to make them every Easter. The recipe comes from an old church cookbook. Whenever I order meat from the local meat market, I order ground ham and pork premixed. I order triple the required meat, packaged into three packages. I give one to my mother, use one, and freeze one to use later. Serve these loaves with horseradish.
