This simple coleslaw recipe was created as part of my five dollar grocery challenge. Coleslaw is one of my favorite salads because it can be made ahead of time. Unlike a lettuce salad which gets soggy and brown, coleslaw gets better if it sits in the fridge in it’s dressing. This is a simple and pared down version of my usual coleslaw, and it’s a […]

Pickled Vegetable Relish
Pickled Vegetable Relish is a good thing to have in your refrigerator. It’s great on sandwiches or salads. A dollop of pickled vegetable relish on your plate can perk up the simplest of dinners. I enjoy a couple spoonfuls of pickled vegetable relish as a side with beans and cornbread or with Hillbilly Corn Pone. It’s amazing how that simple acidic bite of pickles cleanses […]
Vegan Side Dishes
Vegan side dishes may sound obvious, but many vegetable side dishes contain butter, milk, or other additions that make them not so friendly for those trying to adhere to a vegan diet. I searched the Patty Cake’s Pantry website and collected all of my vegan side dishes. This collection, along with my vegan entrees, and vegan soups helped me to more fully realize that I […]
Avocado Sandwich
An avocado sandwich is a unique and tasty vegan lunch option. Preparing a sack lunch when there are no leftovers can present a bit of a problem for someone new to a vegan diet. On day one, I needed lunch, but I didn’t have any vegan leftovers from dinner the night before because that meal hadn’t been vegan. I was perplexed about what I could […]
Polynesian Corned Beef with Roasted Vegetables
Polynesian corned beef is one of our favorite ways to have corned beef. The recipe gets its name from the pineapple juice in the glaze that is spread generously over the corned beef both before and halfway through the baking time. It’s also so named because Mustard-Pineapple Corned beef just didn’t have the same ring to it. Baker’s Man is not a big fan of […]

Do you know what’s better than corned beef and cabbage? Corned beef and cabbage cooked in the slow cooker. It’s simple, delicious, and easy to prepare. Because corned beef brisket is a tougher cut of meat, it […]
Fried Cabbage with Ham
Fried Cabbage with Ham is one of those simple and delicious recipes that just sort of happened one day. I love cabbage. It’s economical, stores well, and it’s readily available during the cooler months of the year. Fried Cabbage with Ham is easy to prepare and can be served as either a side dish or an entrée, depending upon the appetites and tastes of your […]
Stir Fried Cabbage
Since Saint Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, my local grocer has had some excellent prices on cabbage. Since I always try to shop sales, I picked up a couple of extra heads. Cabbages tend to store for a much longer time than heads of lettuce. Historically, they were stored for long periods hung upside down by their roots in an outside building or […]
