This is the second recipe I'll post tonight--promised it to AH earlier tonight. My mother found this recipe 35 or so years ago in a magazine and it has become a family favorite. For years she only made it at Thanksgiving until I took over the baking reigns in the family; now she makes it more often especially when my brother, Lewis, is going to be in.

I created this recipe to use leftover holiday turkey. It's a classic bound salad using mayonnaise and celery, but it also includes fresh cranberries, orange juice and cashews. Although new to our menu, it has become a holiday favorite. My family requests I make my own turkey before Thanksgiving so I can serve this salad as an appetizer at our holiday feast. I hope you will find it as enjoyable as we do. Enjoy it on rolls, in wraps, or as a spread with crackers

Best apple pie ever! Loved the taste! I bought the deep dish pie crust and used that, and I found out that I only needed 1/2 the amount of apples. This recipe is worth trying out!

I made this chocolate chip pecan pie with a homemade buttery and flakey pie crust. When it hit the dinner table, it vanished within a flash, so the pie must be good then :)
