This is Larry’s favorite salad. I make it almost every holiday!

Frozen Cherry Salad

1 (20-ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping, thawed
1 cup chopped nuts (optional, but really good!)

Combine first 3 ingredients.
Fold in whipped topping.
Fold in nuts.
Spoon cherry mixture into muffin cups or an 8-inch square pan coated with cooking spray.
Cover and freeze - 8 hours or overnight.*
Release from muffin cups or cut into squares.
Serve on lettuce leaves. 

This is also good not frozen. Just spoon it into a pretty, clear salad bowl and  chill it in the fridge for a while before serving.
If you're using the muffin tins, once frozen, you can pop the individual salads into a zippered plastic bag and place them back into the freezer. Just remove as many as you need when serving. Theses freeze well for several weeks.
This can also be made very low-fat by using fat-free condensed milk and whipped topping and omitting the nuts.

    I am going to have to make this for Jimmy. He loves this cherry salad that is similar, that his mother and grandmother always made. It has a jar of maraschino cherries, cool whip, crushed pineapple, and maybe oranges....I can't remember off hand. But he likes it frozen in a rectangle container, and he cuts off slices to eat. I don't care for cherries, but I will make this for Jimmy for a treat.
    Thanks for sharing!

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T.

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
