Love & Lemons Cooking Club – June!

Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club Challenge this month! It's easy to enter, and one lucky winner will receive a prize. Find all the details below.

Coleslaw Recipe

Our Cooking Club is a fun way to celebrate the Love & Lemons community of readers. The concept is super simple—each month, I choose a recipe. You make it, and you leave a comment on the recipe’s blog post. At the end of the month, I randomly select one winner to receive a prize.

I love the sense of community that comes from so many people cooking one recipe each month. We’re kicking off our June challenge today with our coleslaw recipe, and I hope you’ll join in the fun. Here’s how it works:

Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club

  1. Each month, I choose one seasonal recipe. Sign up for our email list so you’ll know as soon as I share each month’s recipe.

The Prize: A $100 Whole Foods Gift Card!

At the end of the month, I’ll randomly select a winner and share some of your photos. This time, we’re giving away a $100 Whole Foods gift card. 

In addition, for every entry we receive, we’ll donate $1 to No Kid Hungry.

June’s Recipe: Creamy Coleslaw

This month’s recipe is my creamy coleslawFun fact about me: I am coleslaw-obsessed. I just love the combination of the crisp veggies and the creamy, sweet, and tangy dressing, and how the slaw gets creamier as it sits. I’ll be making this recipe for picnics and cookouts all month long. I hope you’ll try it too!

A few recipe notes:

  • I typically shred the veggies myself, but you could totally sub pre-shredded slaw mix for an easy shortcut.
  • I’ll always advocate for making coleslaw ahead. I think it’s best on day 2!
  • I use mayo in the dressing. To make a vegan version, check out my vegan coleslaw recipe.

Last Month’s Recipe

Last month, we made tostadas! This was a choose-your-own-adventure challenge, and lots of you had fun experimenting with different toppings. Here were a few especially unique twists:

  • Sarah added ranch dressing.
  • Hannah used sourdough discard tortillas.
  • Ericha topped the tostadas with spicy homemade giardiniera.
  • And Heather made a breakfast tostada.

Thanks to everyone who joined in! Here are some of your photos:
