Bethany’s Jell-O Salad

We always have this at Thanksgiving. It is one of Bethany’s favorites, so we started calling it Bethany’s salad. It calls for apricot Jell-O, but that is hard to find.

Applesauce Date Cake

This cake has applesauce, dates, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and nuts.

Hot Chicken Salad

This is an interesting combination of chicken, soup, stuffing, and potato chips.
