Cucumber Salad
On one of our favourite roads trips my husband and I ended up in Port Hope, Ontario at a fantastic road-side restaurant called the Shnitzel Shack. Not only was the food incredible (the eggplant parmesan sandwich was off-the-charts and enough for 3 meals), but the service was sooo sweet. We got their cucumber salad andContinue reading “Cucumber Salad”

It’s always better the next day because the liquid has leached out of the cabbage, making it more tender and lessContinue reading “Simple Creamy Coleslaw”
