Orange Peanut Salad Bowl



My family would NOT be happy if I didn't make this for special meals.

2 qts. mixed greens
2 11 oz.. cans Mandarin oranges
1 C. roasted peanuts
1 white onion sliced

Dressing:

1/3 c sugar or Equal to taste
1/3 c vinegar
1 C salad oil
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp celery seed
1 small white onion
Put in blender and whirrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ideally refrigerate dressing a day or so before serving over the salad. It is still good if you make it and serve immediately.

Bread Stuffing

2 loaf of bread
3 sticks of butter
1 large onion
1 1/2 stalks of celery
Poultry seasonings
Chicken Broth

Dice the onion and celery stalks

In a LARGE pasta pot melt 2 sticks of butter and in a small pan melt the other stick of butter. Place most of the onion/celery dice into the larger pot and the rest into the small pan. Add poultry seasoning (healthy amount) to taste in both pots.

While that is cooking down ... Toast your bread (with crust on) and cut into 1-2 inch squares. Take one of your toasted pieces, dip it into one of the pots to taste. Add more poultry seasoning if needed .. repeat for the other pot.

Take all the toast and put it into the large pasta pot and stir, stir, stir and stir some more. Once most of the toasted bread is covered with butter mixture add the other pot of butter mixture and stir some more. Add about 2 cups (or less) of chicken broth to the bread and stir until ALL pieces of the toast is moist. If needed add more chicken broth

Place in a baking dish and cover with foil. Cook 30 minutes at 3:25 then remove the foil and cook for another 30 minutes.

This is great for freezing and re-heats great.

I love my yams -

I bake them in the oven until done or almost because they will finish in the pan
butter (about a stick)
brown sugar
cinnamon (SP?)

while still warm peel the yams and then quarter.
Melt butter in a frying pan or electric frying pan and add brown sugar
place the yams (sweet potatoes) in the frying pan on low(ish) when just about candied sprinkly with cinnamon to taste.

Thanks for the bump! I had forgotten about some of these recipes -- I'm not in charge of Thanksgiving since we're having it at the farm in Kentucky, but I'm making a note for Christmas!

This year for one of the desserts I'm making red velvet cake balls and chocolate chip cream cheese bars. I've got all kind of dips for the cake balls ready to coat tomorrow. I'll post pics when I get them done.

[Kim]

[Puddy]

Cake balls? What is cake balls? LOL

[katpo]

We made red velvet cake balls for last weekend's brunch at school. They were a huge hit.

[Puddy]

Yummy!

[Terri]

Puddy, you make a cake, cool it off, crumble it up and add icing. I made red velvet cake and home made cream cheese icing. Then make some balls. Meatball size or big ones if your like Mike. :yep: Then put them in the freezer for a while, put a stick in them and dip them in melted almond bark or chocolate melts. I used toothpicks and took them off after dipping. They are SO good! There are a ton of them on the net, all different kinds & styles...check it out. Here's the ones I made for thanksgiving. They are about a 4 bite ball. :yep:

[katpo]

Very pretty, Terri!

Zippi, I made that pico de gallo yesterday and everybody loved it. I just used dried cranberries, about half a package, and a can of mandarin oranges that I chopped up small and squeezed dry. Then I chopped up a serrano pepper and about an inch off of a red onion, diced small. I was going to toast some pecans to add but decided not to. I let it sit in the fridge together for an hour or so before we ate it. The hot and sweet and tangy tastes were great together.
