In Reply to: what is that all important side dish that is a must on your thanksgiving table? - GabbyChick
It's wonderful and I never had a thanksgiving without it (well I did have a few but I missed it). It's so so easy
1 - 8 oz package jello. (I always use black cherry, mom always used lemon).
1 - 8 oz. pckg cream cheese.
1 large can crushed pineapple.
Crushed walnuts - optional
Dissolve jello in 2 cups boiling water and add cream cheese and mix til cream cheese is blended in and no lumps. Add the can of crushed pineapple with the juice (this makes up for those 2 cups of cold water you would normally add to the jello). Throw in some chopped walnuts if you like and let set overnight.

Need help regarding Potato salad?...sm
I have a problem. When my children were young they never liked potato salad. They always asked if I would make macaroni salad all the time with holiday meals. Today my son who is a teenager asked me if I would make potato salad to go with the turkey and all the other holiday goodies. He said he does like potato salad now. I have no clue how to make this as I have never made it. Any recipes/help would be so greatly appreciated. 
Chicken Salad
I agree with keeping it simple . . . just wanted to add that I love to use leftover grilled chicken, and don't forget the garlic. Love the garlic! 
Speaking of Salad...
what kind of lettuce/other green leafy stuff do you like when you order/make a salad?
A couple of times I've gone in restaurants and they have brought me a salad that looked like they went out back and pulled weeds. Now, I love veggies, but that's some scary stuff. I'm simple..I just want iceberg lettuce!...then I can add other goodies that I can identify.
google 7 layer salad. This is one we like--sm

recipe for chicken salad
 Anyone have a good one?
After I cut up a salad with my fork and knife
I lick the dressing off my knife (even in restaurants). I can't stop myself. Life my BFF says, at least you have admitted you have a problem, that is the first step.
Waldorf Salad - no nuts! nm

My mother's "tropical salad"
I still love this.
1 can pineapple chunks -reserve juice.
1 can mandarin oranges - reserve juice.
16 oz sour cream (now I use nonfat)
1 cup shredded coconut (the kind in a bag).
1/2 bag of miniature marshmallows.
Mix everything & refrigerate it overnight. If it has gotten dry (the marshmallows absorb moisture) add some of the reserved juice. Before serving add 1 or 2 sliced bananas.
My sisters & I used to fight over this.
I love the sugar free Jello. Can't tell there is no sugar. nm

I like potato salad with sweet pickles in it. sm
That's how my mom and grandma always made it, so I grew up eating it that way. But the very thought of sweet pickles makes my hubby ill, so dill pickles it is for us. 
I've eaten grapes in my salad before sm
right alonside the eggs, onions, peppers, cheese croutons and even tuna fish. Now, that is good. I like tuna in my salad. I make a big one and I am full for the rest of the day. Just open the can of tuna, drain it and dump it in the lettuce. Add all the other ingredients including the green grapes, or purple if you prefer and add your dressing. It's pretty good.
Wrong ingredient in that hot chicken salad
That recipe calls for MAYO but it is supposed to be miracle whip salad dressing.
Also can replace almonds for cashews.
Raviolis and sauce from a deli and salad. nm

Steak, of course, baked potato and salad.
I really, really wanted this guy bad. Got him too...now I sometimes wonder why I really, really wanted him bad.... Just kidding!
You could also make a cold rice and tuna salad, with a little - sm
mayo, some onion, maybe some peas and/or mushrooms if you have 'em. But, yeah, the add soup and call it a casserole/hotdish idea was the first one I had, too. :-)
don't forget mashed potatoes and potato salad!...nm
nm
Fruit salad. It's made with tapioca. If anyone wants the recipe, drop

I've used canned tomatoes in tossed salad in the wintertime...
because I can't stand the plastic tomatoes they sell out of season in the store. I also use them in tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. In summer, we grow our own, but for winter the canned ones are great, especially the petite-diced.
I would do pasta salad (I make mine with Ranch and chicken!)
dip for the chips, cheesecake and some kind of potatoes, maybe on the grill?
Sprinkle on cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, put in fruit salad nm

Rolls, dessert (some kind of soft pie or chocolate pie). Instead of potato salad, maybe sm
mashed potatoes since they are edentulous. Green bean casserole was a great idea. Corn casserole too is yummy.
Grilled rib steak, shrimp scampi, asparagus and green salad...
I'm getting hungry just seeing the steaks marinating, lol!
I'm very blessed...my SO is a gourmet cook. We rarely eat out because what he can prepare at home tastes much better than anything we could get at a restaurant and costs half as much to prepare.
Geez, it's only 1 o'clock...hope the time passes quickly til dinner!!!

dinner plates/salad plates
Yes, I did see that one. It's $5.00 plus $7.00 for shipping I think. I email the person who has it for sale to see if they possibly have more than one. They emailed me back and said they only have the one. I am hoping to find more than one at a time, and just hate to pay that much for one plate. I'd really like to have the set, but not quite that bad! I do appreciate your help very much!!
