Keep rolls small
Relish tray for munching while cooking!
Make enough gravy

Cranberry Apple Pie

Cranberry apple pie--makes enough filling for about 2 pies

Banana Cream Pie

Holiday Salad

Salad:

Romaine and Red lettuce
Pomegranate (could skip)
Craisins
Cashews
Pear
Apple
Swiss Cheese (want to try feta)
Bacon pieces?

Put as much of an ingredient in as you want. Don't put the cheese and cashews in until you are ready to toss the salad with dressing.

Dressing:

1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2/3 cup canola oil
2 TBS chopped onion
2 TBS lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
2-3 TBS poppy seeds

In a blender mix vinegar and sugar together, then add oil and blend. Add onion and blend really fast and hard; add lemon juice, salt and blend; add poppy seeds and blend. (Enough dressing for 2 big bowls of salad. Dress the salad 5-10 min before serving.)
