  1. I am a bit biased since Grandma Vi is my great-grandma. This is a dish I always associate with the holidays! I am sure to make this each year, especially now that I have a family of my own!

  3. Made as a test run for our annual halloween party. The kids loved it even with the cabbage. I added in some shredded carrots to make it even more festive for the occasion. We will be using this one.
     
  4. Best jello salad I have ever had! We have this every Christmas, and I love it!
     
  5. This was surprisingly tasty! I only used 8 oz of cool whip. My family had a fun time trying to guess the secret ingredient - cabbage! I was a bit weary but it did add an interesting texture to the salad. I will make this again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am the mother of three (one grown, one in middle school and one in high school). I have grandchildren who we invite over regularly to spend the night. We have lots of fun and a very full house! I do all of the baking and my husband cooks all the dinners. He loves to BBQ and cook and he is GOOD at it! He is wonderful with the children and I appreciate him so! I enjoy gardening, crafts, sewing, and crocheting, pets, and all kinds of "kid fun". If I had a month off I would spend it somewhere on the coast with just my sweetie and a view of the sea. I would miss the kids terribly so I would have them visit us in the hotel (that of course has room service) on Thursdays,Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for swimming, walks, beach-combing, dune climbing and dune buggy rides, movies, church, and the hottub!
