Sloppy Joe's & Coleslaw


Dinner tonight was sloppy joe's from Ms. Rachel Ray. I skipped the oil, substituted the red pepper for a jarred roasted one (Trader Joe's) and replaced the tomato sauce with crushed tomatoes. Sometimes, I add smoked paprika (Costco) for a stronger smokey flavor.

Tonight we tried blue's buns from Dave's Killer Bread - they were good, hearty, 6g fiber and 9g protein. The buns were a little expensive at Whole Foods but I will pick up some frozen buns next time I am near the Healthy Bread Store in Milwaukie.

The "coleslaw" was a pre-chopped veggies mix from Trader Joe's mixed with homemade coleslaw dressing that was leftover from last week. Here is my recipe:

Coleslaw Dressing

1/2 c mayo
3 T sugar
2 T vinegar
2 T milk
2 t ground celery seed

Directions: Whisk together in a bowl!

Notes:
I prefer apple cider vinegar for coleslaw, but you can do what want!
