FOOD: EVERYBODY LOVES IT - RIGHT?
MY MOM IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST COOK I KNOW. SHE'S INNOVATIVE, CREATIVE AND HAS A SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY LIKE NO OTHER! GRACIOUS IS A WHOLESOME CHARACTER SHE INSTILLED IN ALL OF HER CHILDREN.
A FAMILY FAVORITE RECIPT TO PASS ON IS SOMETHING CALLED "SALAD ON THE BOARD." ALL TIME EASY AND NEVER ANY LEFT OVER AT A GATHERING:
CANNED PILSBURY CRESCENT ROLLS - UNCHILLED AND PRESSED FLAT INTO A COOKIE SHEET: BAKED TILL LIGHTLY GOLDEN BROWN (ABOUT 6-8 MINUTES). COOLED. ONE BLOCK CREAM CHEESE SOFTENED AND 4 TBLSP RANCH DRESSING MIXED, THEN SPREAD OVER BREAD. TOP WITH SHREDDED LETTUCE, CHOPPED TOMATOES, YELLOW CHEESE, BLACK OLIVES IF DESIRED. COVER TILL READY TO EAT (MADE AHEAD OF TIME IS GOOD) - THEN SERVE NOT SO COLD FROM THE FRIDGE. YUMMY....YOU'LL BE SUCH A HIT WITH THIS AT YOUR EVENT!
