Sauerkraut Salad

I do NOT like sauerkraut, but maybe someone else would like to try out this recipe. It was part of my mother’s collection of recipes from my grandmothers, so am including it here.

Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter cookies are another favorite of mine, besides snickerdoodles.

Butterscotch Pie

This recipe is made with brown sugar, egg yolks, and milk.

Cranberry Salad

Another Jell-O salad. This one has strawberry flavor with cranberries, sugar, orange pieces, apples, and walnuts or pecans.

Vegetable Beef Soup

  Vegetable Beef Soup 1 bag frozen mixed vegetables1 lb stew meat1/2 head of cabbage (cut into 1 inch pieces)4-5 potatoes (peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces)1 onion (cut into 1/2" pieces)1 large can or bottle of tomato juicesalt and pepper to taste Pour tomato...

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.

Strawberry Pretzel

This recipe came from my grandmother, who got the recipe from Faye Cox. I don’t know who Faye Cox is, but this is a Jello dessert with several layers. It is probably actually called Strawberry Pretzel Salad. When I first read the title (when transferring recipes here) I thought it was a soft pretzel with strawberry flavor.

Mexican Chicken Casserole

This Mexican-inspired casserole uses chicken (shredded or cut), black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, corn, and cream of chicken soup. The casserole is topped with crushed tortilla chips and cheese.

Jim’s Fruit Salad (Ambrosia)

This is one of my dad’s favorites that my grandmother made. Coconut, marshmallows, crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges, and sour cream. You can also add grapes, but we usually didn’t.

EZ Coffee Cake

I love coffee cake. Any coffee cake. This one uses cream cheese.
