LAYERED HOLIDAY JELLO SALAD
This is a variation on the traditional cranberry/pineapple salad; red and green layers with a cream cheese layer in between. My mom makes this at Christmas and/or Thanksgiving and I can't stop eating it. Would be good for potlucks, too. Yum!

LAYERED JELLO SALAD
This comes from my 'Nanny's' (grandma) kitchen. I make it every Holiday season and it brings back memories as this dish was my absolute favorite sweet side dish. I think it still is. My mouth waters when thinking about it. It seems simple but it packs a great flavor.
