5 kinds of ice tea
homemade stuffing
whipped cream for pies (the real stuff as Mom says, no can/frozen kind)
And to start this off I will post my mom's and grandma's cranberry salad recipe. I hate cranberries but I love this stuff.
CRANBERRY SALAD
1 Orange
1 can or bag of Cranberries
½ c. Pecans
1 ½ Cups sugar
2 small pkgs Jello Cherry or Strawberry
Mix Jello with 1 ½ Cups of water per box
I use Cherry Jello
Grind all of these:
1 Orange (Grind all even the peel)
1 can or bag of Cranberries
½ c. Pecans
then add:
1 ½ Cups sugar
2 small pkgs Jello Cherry or Strawberry(we use cherry Jello)
Mix Jello with 1 ½ Cups of water per box
Than put in fridge and let get firm and cold

Well I just made this Jello Cranberry Salad, and I just have to say that I would have drank it all up right now. It smells so good and I can't wait to eat it tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe Gas. :thumb:
But as for our menu tomorrow we are going to be having a feast. My Mom always gets the biggest turkey at the store, and this year she got a 19 lb. turkey. She told me if there was a bigger one she would have gotten it. haha! Side orders will be Stuffing, Mac & Cheese, Broccoli & Cheese, Zucchini Pie, Mashed Potatoes, Corn, Green Bean Casserole, and Cresent Rolls. :drool: Don't think I missed anything. :hmmmm:

Your welcome, let me know what you think tomorrow when you eat it.
Happy:
Was I supposed to be cooking? :sos:
Our meal is the standard garden salad, turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, carrots, corn, broccoli, peas, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, pickles & olives and kielbasa.
I bring some of the deserts. This year I made regular brownies, zebra (cream cheese) brownies, 7 layer bars, sugar cookies and toll house chocolate chip cookies. Mom will have baklava (my favorite), rice krispie bars, apple pie, krustiki (my brother's favorite), some type of a cake and other assorted goodies.
Yes, it is a feast.

Well Gas, it didn`t quite turn out like I thought it would. LoL It didn`t set up all the way so it wasn`t quite Jello for us. Haha we had a good laugh over it. :)

How do you mess up jell-O? :rofl1:
Mom said I left out part, she said you cut out the piece that the orange was attached to the tree, and also the middle section of the orange, the inner skin thing.
But that would not have made it not jell.
Try making it again, so you can have it at Xmas.
