Easy Apple-Cranberry Slaw

Thanksgiving is on the way and I am super excited. I get two Thanksgivings this year and can't wait. Usually for Thanksgiving we have all the traditional dishes, but maybe you could add some slaw with apples and cranberries to your table. I love coleslaw and I usually make it with miracle whip and throw in some raisins. I really loved this new twist especially with the cranberries and the Italian Dressing made the coleslaw last for days. Enjoy!

Orange Jello & Pudding Salad

This recipe reminds me of Sunday dinner at my parents house. My mom would make a roast with mashed potatoes, gravey, vegetable and of course the jello. My mom always made sure at every Sunday dinner we would have some kind of jello. My mom would make this version sometimes and it grew to be my favorite. After I got married and moved out I was calling for this recipe to make for my family. This salad is great to take for potluck parties and the dish is always taken home empty. Enjoy!

Orange Jello & Pudding Dessert

1 small package orange jello
1 small package lemon cook and serve pudding
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
1-2 bananas cut into slices
1 8 oz carton whipped topping, thawed

In a large bowl combine orange jello and 1 3/4 cup boiling water; stir until dissolved.

Meanwhile prepare lemon pudding according to package directions.

While both are still hot pour pudding into jello and mix well, pour into 8 x 11 casserole dish or a 9 x 13 it will just be a bit thinner. Put in refrigerator until set. When ready to serve place mandarin oranges and bananas evenly over the jello. Then spread thawed whipped topping covering everything.

Recipe of the Week-Pink Fluff

This week's recipe is called Pink Fluff. This is a huge hit at any BBQ I go to and the bowl is always empty when I bring it home. I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, Julie. I have seen other versions, but I like this one the best. I don't know the true name of this salad, so we just started calling it Pink Fluff.

Pink Fluff

16 oz small curd cottage cheese

12 oz whipped topping

1 small package of banana strawberry jello or plain strawberry

2 bananas, sliced

1 lb strawberries, hulled and cut up

Mix whipped topping and jello in large bowl, fold in cottage cheese, add bananas and strawberries. Let sit in refrigerator an hour or two to set.

You can make a larger version to feed a bigger crowd by getting the largest whipped topping, cottage cheese and the big jello and add more strawberries and bananas.

You can also make different versions. Mandarin oranges, bananas and orange jello, or raspberries with raspberry jello. The options are endless.
