Feeling a little Grinchy....

Wow...can't believe November is almost half over! Seems like we were just celebrating New Years...and now the holiday season creeping up on us again.

Usually I love the holiday season, but I think it comes earlier every year. I was seeing Christmas decorations for sale before Halloween!

As it seems to be a holiday that is overlooked (at least from a retail perspective), I thought I would issue a recipe challenge for Thanksgiving. I'm starting with one of Brians' favorites, Coke Salad. He swore to me it was a staple in Texas and it's the only thing he really cares about having for Thanksgiving. :D

1 small package strawberry Jello
1 small package black cherry Jello
16 ounces can black cherries (pitted & drained)
16 ounces can crushed pineapple (drained)
8 ounces package cream cheese (softened)
1 can cold coca cola (coke)
1 cup walnuts or pecans (chopped)

Directions:

Reserve juice from both cans of fruit. Heat reserved juices and pour over Jello and cream cheese until dissolved. Put in fruits and nuts then add coke. Mold overnight

Anyone else have a favorite they would like to share?
