Best Ever Chick-fil-A Copycat Coleslaw

Nicole Hood — Mon, 27 May 2019 13:30:00 +0000

One of my favorite restaurant side dishes ever, Chick-fil-A coleslaw, was taken off the menu a few years ago.

But have no fear- here is the recipe from Chick-fil-A themselves so you can make this tasty dish at home!

We are a Chick-fil-A loving family! I was even a part of the #ChickfilAMoms program for two years and made a video to thank them for the great opportunity!

Best Ever Chick-fil-A Copycat Coleslaw

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise {I like Duke's}
4 tsp white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp salt
1 large carrot diced small
2 bags 14 oz each shredded Angel Hair style coleslaw

Instructions

In a large bowl add coleslaw cabbage mix and diced carrot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, and salt until smooth.
Pour over coleslaw mix and toss to coat until mixed well.
Cover and refrigerate 2 hours, or overnight.
Serve and enjoy!
*I halved the recipe for our meal and it was plenty for four people.

Notes

Recipe from Chick-fil-A

I use Angel Hair {thinly shredded} coleslaw mix which is the closest to Chick-fil-A style.

Peel and dice a large carrot.

In a large bowl add coleslaw cabbage mix and diced carrot.

In a small bowl add mayo, vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, and salt.

Whisk until smooth.

Pour over coleslaw mix.

Toss to coat until mixed well.

Cover and refrigerate 2 hours, or overnight.

We had a Chick-fil-A dinner at home!

I served Southern Style Chicken Bites from Sam’s and sweet potato waffle fries with homemade Chick-fil-A sauce and our copycat coleslaw.

Not exactly the same as the original but pretty darn close!

Serve and enjoy!

I received this recipe from Chick-fil-A in my email 4 years ago.

Maybe one day they will bring it back!

The days are getting warmer here in Louisiana and I have been craving a springtime icy cool drink all week! I decided to make a tried and true favorite: Frosted Lemonade for my family and I to enjoy while playing in the backyard. The kids {and adults} always love it and even better it is easy peasy to make with just a couple ingredients!

Frosted Lemonade

Makes 4 drinks

Ingredients

2 cups cold water
6 large scoops vanilla frozen yogurt
12 oz frozen lemonade concentrate
lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

Pour all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into four cups.
Add straws and garnish with lemon wedges.

This drink is made using two of my favorites: lemonade and fro yo!

Start by adding lemonade concentrate and water to a blender.

I like to use creamy vanilla frozen yogurt

but you can substitute ice cream if you’d like.

Add six heaping scoops of frozen yogurt to the ingredients in the blender,

Blend until smooth.

Tart and sweet and perfectly creamy!

Pour into four glasses.

Add straws and garnish with lemon wedges.

Sit back and enjoy your tasty drink and the beautiful day!
Happy Spring!

Thick and Creamy Peach Milkshake and MelanSol Sunscreen Review

Nicole Hood — Mon, 18 Aug 2014 21:28:00 +0000

Today I am sharing two summer faves with you today! My Creamy Peach Milkshake recipe and my new favorite baby sunscreen, MelanSol.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want summer to end! Seeing how happy my daughter is splashing in her pool, playing on the slide, or sharing a cupcake or {better yet} a milkshake with me during a lunchtime picnic makes me unbelievably happy. She is my world! Thanks why, as a Mama, I do everything I can to keep her safe. Since we live in the {unbearably} hot South and we spend a lot of our summer time outside, I always make sure my pale skinned beauty has baby sunscreen on. I have tried so many brands and never found one I liked until I recently tried MelanSol Sunscreen for Baby.

I received a bottle of MelanSol Sunscreen for the purpose of this review. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own.

I don’t have to worry about scary chemicals or ingredients I don’t recognize in this sunscreen since it’s 100% all natural and toxin free. It isn’t greasy, goes on lightweight, and is water resistant for 40 minutes. Ava, like most toddlers, is a wild child that doesn’t like to stay still, so I love that this sunscreen adsorbs immediately and is effective right away so she can jump right in the pool! Also, I love that it is tear free and I don’t have to worry about her rubbing her eyes and it burning her {ouch!}. Ava wore it all weekend long and no sunburn for my girl! Bonus it has green tea as an active ingredient, smelled great, and hydrated and conditioned her skin too!

MelanSol is the only natural sunscreen that uses a high concentration blend of bio-active antioxidants to boost your child’s ability to neutralize free radical damage that is responsible for sunburn, early skin aging, and skin cancer later in life.

MelanSol isn’t just protection for a day in the sun, it’s protection for life.
