In the last 12 years I’ve published four Christmas novellas, which actually feels like a lot fewer than it should be! If you’ve not read them all you can check them out at this link:

The first book, however, is free almost anywhere, so you can grab your copy via this Books2Read link. Enter today’s giveaway, though, if you want a chance to win THE WHOLE ENCHILADA as a holiday surprise.

Recipes

Holiday Food: Seven Layer Salad

CmdrSue

My recipe box is full of things picked up from friends and family. One of the simple salad recipes from my mom’s best friend that’s become a holiday staple in our household is Seven Layer Salad. You can find a lot of variations on this across the internet, but the way Mrs. D always made it (and thus us, too) is, from the bottom up:

  • layer of iceberg lettuce
  • layer of sliced celery (my husband likes it super thin)
  • layer of Le Seur baby peas
  • layer purple onion (for us, also super thin)
  • another layer of iceberg lettuce
  • thin layer of mayo
  • Mrs. D’s recipe noted you could sprinkle sugar here – only tried that once and didn’t personally like it
  • layer of sharp cheddar cheese
  • layer of crumbled bacon

We prefer to break our iceberg into two separate layers, although it is technically only ‘one’ of the seven layers. From a volume standpoint, I use two heads of lettuce. We eat on this salad for days.
