Green Beans with Ham

Apricot Gelatin Salad

This recipe is very similar to Bethany’s salad, but doesn’t have the shredded carrots and has mandarin oranges instead. This has apricot Jell-O, mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, cream cheese, and “Dream Whip”. Is Dream Whip still something you can buy? I have never used it.

1.2.3. Plain Pastry

Just a simple pastry dough recipe.

Classic frosting for German Chocolate Cake, which is my father’s favorite cake. We always have it on his birthday.

German Sweet Chocolate Cake

I am not sure if this is really intended to be German Chocolate Cake, but the recipe says to “frost tops only” and does not specify what topping.
