Yes, if it weren't for my hubby who loves mayo, it wouldn't get used much since I'm not a big mayo fan. I don't dislike it, but I am not necessarily a fan either and don't use it much. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-70584880299776829432015-01-31T23:38:37.252-05:002015-01-31T23:38:37.252-05:00Hi GGC,

I do, however, happen to have some mascarpone ... it's awesome on your power bagels with a bit of cranberry sauce for jam. Wonder where I got the "jam" idea from, eh? ;-) Anyway, I'm going to try Alice's idea. Looks interesting! :-)CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-86632381934917305012015-01-31T13:22:52.532-05:002015-01-31T13:22:52.532-05:00Hi Alice,

So funny I'm seeing your comment today because I actually picked up a bag of coleslaw to make sometime this weekend. Haven't had the taste for a whole lot since being sick but coleslaw is what I've been craving of all things! So happy you enjoyed it.<br /><br />Wow, you've got a long road ahead if you are going through ALL my recipes! You will find that some of them I've tweaked or "improved" as I went along. The buttermilk biscuits are one of them. I prefer my "improved" version but I know others that still like the original version. Hope you enjoy your culinary journey! ;-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316245779890747698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-81743618113089144222015-01-30T18:58:49.648-05:002015-01-30T18:58:49.648-05:00I made your Easy Coleslaw last night, as closely a...I made your Easy Coleslaw last night, as closely as I could with on-hand ingredients. It was awesome!!! Will also make it later as written, but it sounded so good, I decided to wing it. I really wanted coleslaw!!<br /><br />Was out of mayo and was too exhausted to make any last night, though it is easy to do, of course. Instead I used a combo of sour cream, mascarpone and light olive oil. Made a nice creamy and mild tasty base dressing. I made homemade SF bread and butter sweet pickles a few weeks ago from one of my Grandmother's old recipes, so used that pickle juice.<br /><br />Anyway, even with these deviations, it was great! It probably should have lasted a couple of days, but it is all gone now (couldn't quit eating it!). Oh well, at least it didn't have sugar/grain/wheat in it and the fats were awesome!!<br /><br />Thank you again for sharing your recipes and ideas with us. I'm working my way backwards through your repertoire and I'm to December 2012. Of course, I read through the new and most current entries too, but am having a ball perusing your past creations, plus along the way your favorites come to the surface (as with breads and pizza crusts) so that makes it easier on what to try our first! <br /><br />Hope you feel better now.<br /><br />Alice B.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071353485775352700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-57940759606403127592014-07-24T17:29:50.101-04:002014-07-24T17:29:50.101-04:00Hi there,
Sounds like you have an awesome vacatio...Hi there,<br /><br />Sounds like you have an awesome vacation planned! <br /><br />You could freeze the buns first if you wanted. The only concern is that if you aren't keeping them either frozen or refrigerated, that the condensation that occurs when they thaw might make it easier for them to get moldy. If you made them the day before you left, they probably would be fine for several days at room temperature. If you have a bit of time before leaving for vacation, you might want to make a batch and freeze a couple, then thaw to see how they are if left at room temp for a few days. Unless of course you plan to take a cooler. I will probably take a cooler because we will drive rather than fly. <br /><br />Regardless...I hope you have a wonderful vacation. Maybe there will be a refrigerator where you stay -- that way they will easily stay fresh throughout your trip. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-35538397959217358232014-07-24T07:27:58.633-04:002014-07-24T07:27:58.633-04:00Like all the others have commented, love the new k...Like all the others have commented, love the new kitchen! Funny you mentioned can't wait to go on vacation and take along your sandwich buns. We just booked a trip to Yellowstone/Grand Tetons. We will be flying and I just told my husband, I need to figure out how to take along these sandwich buns. Would you suggest making and freezing first?? obviously they won't last the whole week, but the first few days will be when we are in the park all day and will need to pack/or purchase lunch. Thanks again for taking the time to come up with the recipe!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837063860220992045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-73120098660012064382014-07-23T19:24:26.018-04:002014-07-23T19:24:26.018-04:00Hi Kathy,

I am anxious for it to be finished and hope to get it wrapped up in the next week or so. <br /><br />Wow...while I do love my 2nd fridge -- I'm not sure building a garage to put it in is worth it...LOL. Now, if you needed the storage space of the garage, too...maybe it would be worth it. Good luck at convincing your husband though! ;-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316245779890747698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-23858323605614100522014-07-23T18:43:16.450-04:002014-07-23T18:43:16.450-04:00Add me to the list of those who love your new kitc...Add me to the list of those who love your new kitchen. I look forward to trying your sandwich buns very soon and love Darlene's idea of making them thinner from the start with only 2 T of batter each. :) Reading about those of you with a 2nd fridge in the garage makes me think we need to add a garage so we can have room for a 2nd fridge LOLKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611367661886531877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-11224803588444357592014-07-14T21:51:48.959-04:002014-07-14T21:51:48.959-04:00Hi Roye,

LOL So glad you enjoyed the buns -- they do make grain free eating so much easier for me -- the convenience of having a sandwich is priceless in the summer time especially. I can't wait to go on vacation and pack buns to take along with me! Such a silly thing to be excited about...but I am. Glad you enjoyed them too! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-28266534516992273692014-07-14T18:57:52.932-04:002014-07-14T18:57:52.932-04:00Love your kitchen too, and I've had a second f...Love your kitchen too, and I've had a second frig in the garage for years don't know what we'd do without it. <br />Love your Hot Dog Cheeseburger idea, I actually made your sandwich buns yesterday so we could have hamburgers tonight and they'd be ready when I got home from work. I chickened out on the hot dog, I'm weird and don't like mayo on a dog and wanted to have mayo, lettuce and tomato on my burger LOL but hubby had it on his buger and liked it. <br />Buns were great! Tasty and held together just great.

Honestly, it was so easy to make and as good if not better than the Marzetti's coleslaw dressing I used to use! <br /><br />Hope you enjoy playing around with it and making it perfect for you! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-34874255031973221872014-07-13T22:06:13.433-04:002014-07-13T22:06:13.433-04:00Hi GGC,

Instead of the pickle juice, she always had some crushed pineapple in her slaw and a little of the juice in the dressing. She did make use of pickle juice, though, in her dressing for tuna sandwiches. Hmmm ... maybe it's time to "repristinate" those now that you've come up with the "pristine" version of the dressing. :-)CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-10390763715707729432014-07-13T19:05:50.388-04:002014-07-13T19:05:50.388-04:00Hi Darlene,

LOL So glad you are enjoying the sandwich buns -- great idea you have about making them thinner and using 2 instead! Whatever makes things easiest for us is what we should do! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-59055315490211689382014-07-13T08:49:35.792-04:002014-07-13T08:49:35.792-04:00I've been meaning to tell you I love your new ...I've been meaning to tell you I love your new kitchen, especially that sink, wow! And you are so right about needing fridge and freezer space! I absolutely could not survive without my 2nd fridge in the garage these days.<br /><br />Also, we love your sandwich buns. I am not good at slicing things in half, so what I do is make them half as large (2T of batter) and make twice as many--that don't have to be sliced. It works for me! :)Darlenenoreply@blogger.com
