I recently bought a package of Classic Cole Slaw mix.  I rarely buy packaged mixes like this but it was convenient.  Anyway after using only a part of the package, I realized I had satisfied my craving for Cole Slaw for a while.  So what to do with the leftover coleslaw.

About a year ago my sister bought us a subscription to “Taste Of Home-Cooking for Two”.  She is determined to get me off comfort foods and for us to eat healthier.  To be frank, when the magazine comes in every month, I take look and put it aside.  It wasn’t until I started this blog, that I really began looking at the recipes inside.  There are some fantastic ideas and a lot of them fit into my definition of Comfort Food.

So as to the Cole Slaw leftovers I found these two great recipes that are easy to fix and really, really tasty. Who knew healthier food could taste so good!

German Style Keilbase and Noodles

From Lillian Julow of Gainsville, Florida
“Coleslaw takes on a sauerkraut-like flavor in the filling main dish.  The smoky kielbasa pairs well with the tender buttered noodles and tangy slaw.”

Ingredients:

51/2 cups coleslaw mix
1 teasp. of salt
11/2 cups uncooked egg noodles
1/2 pound smoked kielbasa or Polish sausage, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 small onion finely chopped
1 tblspn butter
1 teasp sugar
1/8 teasp pepper
1/2 teasp poppy seeds, optional

Place coleslaw mix in a colander over a plate; sprinkle with salt and toss.  Let stand for 30 minutes.  Rinse and drain well.

Cook noodles according to package directions.  Meanwhile in a large skillet, saute kielbasa and onion in butter until onion is tender.  Add the slaw mix, sugar, pepper; cover and cook over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.  Stir in poppy seeds if desired.  Drain noodles and top with slaw mixture.
