Simplicity [Oil and Vinegar Slaw]

Because of the holidays, I've been tweaking and looking forward to the weekends for baking fun and sharing my joy with friends and family. I finally figured out the path of this blog, which I didn't have when I first started. I'm going to go back to simplicity. Straight to the point without all the frills and mimicry I've been subjecting myself too. I don't need the DSLR that I thought I needed to be "popular."

I am a minimalist in life so why shouldn't I apply what I am to my online personality as well? The reason I loved to blog was to share what I learned from recipes and the happiness I felt from feeding others. For the last 2 and a half years, I spent more time taking photos trying to copy and match other popular food bloggers. My personality wasn't in it. I was simply replicating. Now I am ready to blog my way: the simple way without the bells and whistle. What better way to start than a simple oil and vinegar slaw.

Oil and Vinegar Slaw

Note: This is simple, but the flavor goes great in sandwiches. It cuts the grease in heavier meats. I made mine with a turkey patty seasoned with smokey BBQ spice rub and a bit of whole grain dijon mustard on toast.

4 TBSP white vinegar
1 TBSP canola oil
