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!

    OK-I think the town’s gonna have to make my road longer so I have further to walk when I try and exercise all this good food of your off!!! These look wonderful…and I confess…I’m a “grab a bottle of BBQ sauce at the store” girl….I’m gonna try your recipe when this bottle in the fridge is gone. LOVE the idea of the mini sandwiches with cole slaw to boot….YUM!
    How sweet of big brother to introduce little brother to all his friends? That makes my heart smile. My 8 year old grandson is good like that about including his 1 year old brother….but the 1 year old is going through a phase of throwing everything in the trash-including big brother’s toys…and his Mom’s keys….NOT a good thing….Stephen told his mother “Mom I love my little brother to pieces but PLEASE MAKE HIM STOP!!!”
    The fun with boys never ends…..;)

    Hey Jenny – Jarad and I went to Tennessee last year and I had my first bbq and slaw sandwich. We make them all the time now! My family thinks we’re crazy, but the combo is just so dang good!

    I’m going to try your sauce. Yum I’m starving now.

  5. Jenny

    Too funny Grace, I think I’d be joining you!

    Hi Deborah,
    Can’t wait to see your sandwiches!

    Hi Kelly,
    BBQ is the best isn’t it? Apparently everyone enjoys it!

  6. Kelly

    I love making bbq chicken sliders but have yet to try my hand at the sauce. I can’t wait to try your recipe. Thanks.

  7. Deborah

    I made bbq beef sandwiches for a family get-together a few weeks ago, and almost posted about them today! These look delicious!

  8. Grace

    bbq chicken with cole slaw is probably my favorite sloppy sandwich. i can smear it up and down my face and drip it all over my best shirt and not really care. these look incredible, and i’m sure they are. 🙂

  9. Jenny

    Thanks Haley,
    I’ll look into your contest!

    Hi Sara,
    I love pulled pork sandwiches too, I’ll have to go with pork next time!

    I know Sharon, what’s my problem?!

    Great Sarah, you’ll have to let me know how they turn out for you!

    Natashya,
    Funny, I don’t know where the slider originated from, I’ll have to look into that. They are mighty tasty!

    Thanks Katerina, they are mighty easy, that’s what I love about them!

    Hi Mikky,
    I’m always happy to share, I get so mad when people won’t share good recipes, why keep them all to yourself!??

    Thanks Amy, I’m always up for BBQ too!

    Hi Leslie,
    I’ve used my fair share of bottled sauce, and I must say I like it just fine. I think it’s fun sometime to make the real deal! I wish I would have had my camera at the playground yesterday!

    Hi Kris,
    Thanks for your nice comments. I do have some more pressure cooker recipes, but I mostly use mine to cook my chicken these days. If I can find them I’ll be happy to email them over to you!

  10. Kris

    I LOVE and appreciate you blog so much. I have a link to it on my blog and check it frequently. You do an amazing job with yummy dishes and beautiful photos. I wonder if you have more recipes using a pressure cooker. I bought one a few years ago and have hardly used it. I live in Minnesota and cole slaw on pulled pork/chicken sandwiches is the only way to go out here.

  11. Leslie

    WHat a sweet story about the kiddos! I would have had to taken a photo of the proof..because my husband never would have believed it!!LOL
    I will have to try your sauce..I just made Shredded BBQ sanwiches last night..but used the yucky bbq sauce..But they were still good!

  12. mikky

    what a great meal… I’m sure my kids and hubby would love it… again, my thanks to you for sharing… 🙂

  13. Natashya

    These look really tasty, I guess “sliders” are an American creation. What state(s) are they from?
    I will have to try these soon, I love the size too. You can choose how much you want to eat.

  14. Sara

    Yum! These look delicious, Jenny. I’m printing the recipe out as we speak and they will be on my menu next week. Thanks! 🙂

  15. Sharon

    You really are on a mini kick 🙂 I love sliders, and more importantly pulled pork! These look so tasty!

  16. Sara

    Your sliders look so tasty. I can’t wait to try them out. We had pulled pork sandwiches last night for a bbq. I wish I would have made your sliders. I’m sure they would have been a hit. Next time!

  17. Haley

    Yes Prudy, the cole slaw is so cool in Carolina Sammy’s!

    Thanks Maria and Veronica!

    Hi Lucy,
    It is a bit early for BBQ, but what the heck, I’d have one right now!

    Hi Stephanie,
    You’d be surprised how good the slaw is on BBQ, try it.

    Thanks Dawn! I’m getting hungry talking about all this BBQ too!

  19. Dawn

    I love that you put coleslaw on the slider. I use coleslaw in a lot of my sandwiches, burgers, calzones, etc…
    Those look soooooo good–I’m so hungry now.

  20. Live.Love.Eat

    Oh gosh, the picture has made me slobber over myself. These look amazing. I have never put coleslaw on my sandwich but I totally will since you said so 🙂 These are going on my sidebar list of morsels to make.

  21. Lucy

    Bright and early this morning I saw this post and thought OMQ… but getting ready for work got in the way…so I’m back drooling!! BOY!!! these look awesome 😉

  22. Veronica

    I love when my kids are unexpectedly nice to each other! Your sliders look fabulous-I like the rolls you used they look like they have a lot of flavor.

  23. Maria

    Your kids sound adorable!!
    I like how you put the slaw on the sandwich! We ate too much too, but we keep eating that is the problem:)

  24. Prudy

    I love carolina sandwiches-the BBQ meat plus slaw. Your take looks delicious. Don’t you love just watching your kids around other kids?

  25. Mary Ann

    These sliders look perfect for a weekend party or easy weeknight dinner. Great idea! I can’t wait to try your homemade BBQ sauce!

  26. carin davis

    does your family appreciate how lucky they are to find your dinner table in the evening!?!?!? looks delicious!!!!

  27. Emily

    You and my older sister are in the same situation with your boys! What a fun age! Oh school days!
    Your BBQ suace sounds soooo good! We actually had BBQ Pork Sammy’s on Labor day . .. now I am definately going to have to try your recipe!

  28. Beth

    My mouth is watering. Loving the BBQ sauce – Im writing it down now! My brother and I used to be very well behaved and gave off the illusion of actually liking each other..when we were out. When we were at home it was a totally different matter. My mum got a few grey hairs from all our arguments and fighting!

  29. Clumbsy Cookie

    So cute your kids!!!
    My barbecue recipe is similar to your so I know this will be yummy! I also love to eat mine with shreded chicken, somethimes I even cook the chicken inside the sauce for extra yuminess. But waht i dind’t try yet was the coleslaw… I think I will like it!;)
    Can’t wait t see what ele you ate! Lol!

  30. HoneyB

    I’m going to try your sauce on venison and make these sandwiches. They look absolutely awesome. I saw your title before I got here and immediately thought mini burgers. I was close! I love anything mini so I’m loving your lasts few posts especially! 🙂

  31. Nash

    I love BBQ shredded beef or chicken and these look so good. Never tried the slaw on them but I will. Oh how I need to start working out again.

  32. Pam

    I love, love, love pork sandwiches with cole slaw. Great recipe – can’t wait to try it.

  33. Andrea and Casey

    I’ve been looking at your blog, or drooling and dreaming of all the yummy food is more like it :-), for a few months. My husband jokingly told me I wasn’t allowed to look at it anymore, or watch food network, or snoop all my other tasty blogs, unless I started making some of it. So on Sunday I made your turkey lettuce wraps and they turned out fabulous. I loved them! Thank you so much for posting all of your recipes! I can’t wait to try more.
