here's another one:

Stir sweetened condense milk (can) into large cool whip.
Add a can of drained pineapple tidbits.
Add 2 cans of madarin oranges (drained).
Add a can of cherry pie filling. Stir well. Chill.

CheekEE, could you also substitute yogurt for the sour cream? I personally like sour cream so I think it sounds good and cuts the sweetness.

Off the top of my head, I'd say start with your basic cheesecake recipe (I use Better Crocker) and add 3/4 C cooked cranberries, the zest of one large orange and 2T of orange juice. But I eyeball those measurements. Instead of the graham cracker crust, I'd use unfrosted sugar cookies that have dried out (you know, because the "kids" didn't eat them in time and "Please get them I really want them") crumbled in the food processor.

My grandma used to make the best fruit salad with canned fruit cocktail, marshmallows and sour cream.

BB, that cheesecake sounds wonderful! Do you mix the fruit into the cheese or put it on top?

OMG! Don't ruin the cheesecake with a package mix. Cheesecake is ssssssssssoooooooo easy to make. Cream cheese, milk, eggs, and flavoring baked in whatever pie shell is the basic recipe. Mom's recipe puts a topping of ........wait for it.........sour cream, sugar and vanilla on top. That's the standard that we hold all cheesecakes to and few measure up. Although I do have a killer creme brulee cheesecake recipe that does.

One of the guests is bringing it so I don't have the recipe...yet. She usually brings the recipe with her dish so maybe I'll get it.

I could be wrong but I think that BaconBoy was talking about Betty Crocker's recipe for cheesecake, not a boxed mix.

QueenBee, when I want to make a cheesecake quickly I use the Kraft 3-step recipe (I saved it from the cream cheese package and taped it inside a kitchen cabinet). It is sooooo easy and very good!

hmdagal, I generally swirl the fruit in the batter. But my standard varieties are:

Mint chocolate swirl with Thin Mints crust, topped with chocolate shavings

White chocolate raspberry swirl with sugar cookie crust and white chocolate shavings plus plate dotted with raspberry sauce

Turtle (chocolate chips, toasted pecans and homemade caramel sauce swirl) with pecan sandy crust and drizzled with caramel sauce and chocolate sauce

Pumpkin cheesecake with standard graham cracker crust

Oh, and I try to avoid boxed mixes whenever possible. Good catch, RR Sarah.

Have any of you all ever cooked a turkey in a brown paper bag?? I've heard it's great. Sorta like steaming it but it does brown and crisp up. I was all for this until I read online that it is now not recommended to use this technique due to the ink, glue, and recycled materials in paper bags can emit toxic fumes when they are exposed to heat. Also, they are recycled so who knows what would infuse into your bird! eek

In my own little world
Turkey
Stuffing
Dumplings
Mashed Potatoes
Green Bean Casserole
Broccoli-Cheese Casserole
Corn
Rolls
Cranberry Sauce
Pumpkin Pie
Pecan Pie

Does anyone have a good Cranberry Salad recipe? I have never tried, but thought it might be better than just out of the can.

My dinner turned out great! The NuWave oven cooked a fantastic, moist, browned turkey in exactly two hours! I added green bean casserole at the last minute, and my other BFF brought a yams and apples dish instead of the sweet potatoes. Cooking that much fod though is tiring! So glad I reserved a vacation day yesterday to recouperate!

out of the frying pan...
OK, I've been designated as the bringer of dessert for dinner at my sister's house. I was told to bring "a pie and something else." The trick is that it has to be something I can make Wednesday and that will travel easily (it's a 4 hour drive to her house). I'm planning on pumpkin pie, but need ideas for the second dish. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm seriously considering a 7 layer cake, but I don't really trust trying to transport it quite that far.

Go ahead and take the 7 layer cake. Just don't frost it till you get to your sister's. Pack it in a box with popcorn around it. Or bubble wrap works well too. Then when you arrive, frost it before dinner and VIOLA! a perfect cake for dessert.
