To DIE FOR Potato Salad--

 

What is a BBQ without some good potato salad?? It most definitely IS NOT so here is one of the best! This summer has gone by so fast for us. I cannot believe I have only made this once this entire summer—today, being twice! Every time I make it I, along with others want to 
lick the bowl clean so with that said...

Dutch Oven Caramel Apple Pie

 













Ingredients:
18 Rhodes Any Time Cinnamon Rolls, thawed but still cold
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Caramel Icing
2 packets cream cheese frosting (included with rolls)
1/3 cup caramel ice cream topping

Directions: Cut each roll into quarters and arrange in the bottom of a 14-inch Dutch oven lined with aluminum foil or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. (I do both because it's so sticky and makes the clean up swift!)

In a bowl combine apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, cracker crumbs and pecans. Sprinkle evenly over cut rolls. Cover with lid and bake at 350°F 25-30 minutes.

For icing combine cream cheese frosting with caramel topping. Drizzle over pie while still warm.


This dessert is so easy but deadly!:) It it worth EVERY bite. Enjoy!!

KFC slaw

With the 4th of July upon us, I thought I would share a fabulous recipe I discovered. My husband loves the coleslaw from Kentucky Fried Chicken. I'm not a huge coleslaw fanatic other that KFC, in fact to try other coleslaws is nonexistent. One night after a delicious taste of coleslaw heaven he said he wished I could find a recipe for KFC's coleslaw so we could have it at home. I was determined!!

With a little tweaking of my moms coleslaw resp it was official-- The KFC Coleslaw Twin! The results, at first taste, were pretty close to KFC's, but there seemed to be an overwhelming fresh cabbage flavor right after making it. However, after sitting in the refrigerator for several hours, the cabbage had time to soak up the flavor of the dressing, and WAAALAAA! Just like KFC!

DRESSING:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

SLAW:
1 head of cabbage (or one bag of coleslaw)
1 medium carrot (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons minced onion

Chop cabbage into chunks and run through your food processor, or chop fine.

Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a blender, mix well.

Combine cabbage, carrots, and onion and toss. Pour dressing over the slaw and stir to coat.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours before serving to allow the cabbage to soak up the marinade. Overnight is best.

Serves 10 to 12.
