This year for “Mother’s Day”, we hosted dinner at my house and because the weather was so warm, we decided to barbeque ribs, make chile, and then of course a nice creamy coleslaw seemed so appropriate! What could be simpler than coleslaw, it’s all about the fresh ingredients and pretty vibrant colors. Cabbage and bell peppers are so good for you.

Bell Peppers are packed with several nutrients and are promoted for individuals with high cholestrol levels, to learn more, click here.
