Slide On Over…

Good late Wednesday night, I can hardly wait to jump into bed, but wanted to post while my little guys are sound asleep!

What a crack up little Kindergartners are. Every Wednesday morning I take my boys to school in their wagon a few minutes early so that my 3 year old can play with his brother at the “big boy” playground. I sat back in the shade watching and cracking up the whole time. I was entertained watching the girls chase the boys and the boys freaking out when the girls got too close. My favorite was watching my kindergartener introduce his little brother to all of his friends on the playground, while holding his hand. I could hardly believe my eyes when he started kissing and hugging him. If only he was that nice to him at home!

Whether you are BBQ’ing or not, these little sliders are so much fun and finger licking good. My BBQ sauce is a breeze to make and is so much better than those bottled sauces. Give it a try, you might even have all of the ingredients on hand. If you’ve never topped your BBQ sandwiches with coleslaw get going, you will just love it. Cool, crisp and a total must!

If you’ve got a second, I’ve got 2 friends that are in need of some votes. Catherine, my contesting buddy and author of the Dish Today is participating in the Tillamook Mac and Cheese Cook-off and needs your VOTE. It literally takes 1 second. Mandy from Gourmet Mom On The Go needs your VOTE as well for her yummy cupcakes, follow her link and hurry she needs it before noon Thursday! Good Luck Ladies!

    I do accept as true with all of the ideas you have offered on your post.
    They’re very convincing and can definitely work.
    Nonetheless, the posts are too quick for beginners. May just you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time?
    Thank you for the post.

    Hey Jenny! I love your BBQ sauce! So does my family, it is always a hit and I never have any left! I am wondering, have you ever tried canning the sauce? Do you know if it is safe to? I would like to be able to just grab a jar off my shelf and also have it there so my husband wont by bottle BBQ sauce from the store.

    Thanks!

      Hi Kasey! I haven’t tried canning my sauce before. Wish I was of more help! You could make small batches and keep it in the fridge I’d say at least 2 weeks.

  3. Kayla

    Made your BBQ sauce last night with shredded beef sandwiches and it was SO good! Way, way better than the store-bought, HFCS-laden BBQ sauce. Thanks! 🙂

  4. Christina

    I love this recipe although I make it using PORK instead of the chicken. I cook the pork in the crockpot until done, take it out and shred it and then add the BBQ sauce. We made this for my daughter’s baptism when we were feeding 30 people. Everyone loved it (although a few were reluctant to put the coleslaw ON the slider) 🙂

    Thanks for such awesome recipes!

  5. Kayleen the Violinist

    I made this recipe last night, with shredded leftover turkey and with the coleslaw on top my kids didn’t even complain about the spicy kick of the bbq sauce! Thanks for the recipes – you’re a cutie. Can’t wait to try more!

  6. CENA - My.M.Spot

    i printed this recipe off a couple of months ago and finally made it last night. YUM! they were so delicious, everyone raved. it will definitely become a staple meal in my monthly menu planner!

  7. Heidi

    This was by far the easiest bbq sauce I’ve ever made, but next time I think I will add some onion powder and garlic powder for a little extra kick. Thanks for the recipes.

  8. Feed the moose

    the only reason I’m not going to try this is because I live in Memphis, home of barbeque! But these do look excellent! And putting slaw on top is the way to go, for sure!

  9. Debbi

    I made these for dinner last night and we all loved them!! Great bbq sauce and awesome coleslaw. I subbed splenda for sugar in both and used light miracle whip. This was a super healthy and delicious meal. Thanks!

  18. Katherine Aucoin

    I had never heard of pork sandwiches with cole slaw until I moved here…it seems to be the status quo and it’s turned out to be a great combination. Your sliders look delicious!

  19. hot garlic

    Check, check, and check, I’ve got everything to make the sauce! Yum, will give it a try! It’s been forever since I made bbq sauce, I wouldn’t even know where to dig up the recipe!

  22. PheMom

    I am totally going to try your BBQ sauce. I have never been a slaw fan but your sliders have about got me convinced!

    Aren’t kindergartners so silly! So far we are having a good year too (though Aidan doesn’t want to talk to the girls either LOL!)

  23. Kevin

    Those sliders look nice and moist and full of flavour. The cole slaw looks really creamy and good.
