We’ve talked about good TV a few weeks ago (and you guys more than doubled my TV on DVD list, but I ain’t mad ‘atcha), so how about those movies that you can watch over and over (and over) again? Sometimes once just isn’t enough and I find myself popping these movies in when I want to relax.

I’m not proud of some of these, but I like what I like. What are some of your most irresistible movies (and/or guilty pleasures)?

We had an incredibly sad looking little salad bar as one of our lunch options in high school, but the one highlight was the coleslaw. It was creamy and sweet and the cabbage and carrots were cut into tiny little pieces. I’ve never had a coleslaw that good. Until now.

Lunch Lady Coleslaw

Adapted from America’s Test Kitchen’s Creamy Buttermilk Coleslaw
Makes 8 servings. 6 Weight Watchers points per serving.

Creamy Buttermilk Coleslaw. Just like the lunch lady used to make.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cabbage, finely chopped
  • 2 large carrots, shredded
  • 1/4 cup onion, minced

 

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayo (not Miracle Whip)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2  tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

 

Directions

Toss cabbage, carrot, and onion in a large bowl (preferably one with a lid — this comes in handy later). In another bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients. Pour dressing over slaw mixture and mix thoroughly (or if you have a lid, shake to coat). Refrigerate for 2 hours, minimum. Serve very cold.

Let’s talk about Threshold and how it’s the best thing to happen to Target since pretty much ever. I’ve been picking up more and more things for around the house from Target over the past few months when it finally dawned on me that it’s all Threshold. Vases, linens, dinnerware. All of it!

Over the weekend, my mom and I redecorated her mantel with a mix of Threshold and Nate Berkus for under $250 total. Where else can you do that? We literally just went to Target and put all the things in the cart. Then admired the mantel for the rest of the weekend.

I’ve been itching to redo my living room for some time, and I’m sure I could pull the majority of it off with a trip to Target. Clean but still comfy, right? I just ordered the gold dipped bowl (and I already have and love this organic blanket –which I also bought for my sister for her birthday– in orange) to get started.

Threshold for Target

I know most of y’all are Target fangirls. Have you bought anything great from the Threshold line?
