Tasty Holiday Recipes
The best thing about the Holidays has got to be the food. I know it's my favorite thing! Each year I always enjoy seeing all my relatives and getting to sit down and catch up over Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas dinner or Easter. It's the best time of the year! Whether it's turkey or ham, sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes, the food is always great! I've included a few of my favorite Holiday side dishes on this lens for everyone to enjoy. I hope everyone has a Happy Holiday!
Apple Coleslaw

This coleslaw is delicious!
The apples really add a nice addition to it! Even my kids liked it and they usually refuse to eat coleslaw.
Ingrediants
3/4 cup MIRACLE WHIP Light Dressing1 Tbsp. honey
1 bag (16 oz.) coleslaw blend
2 medium apples (preferably 1 red and 1 green), chopped
How To Make Apple Coleslaw

1) Mix dressing and honey in large bowl (I recommend using a larger bowl than the one in the picture. It was hard to mix the ingredients).
2) Add remaining ingredients.
3) Mix lightly.
4) Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Vegetable & Stuffing Bake

This is my favorite stuffing!
You can make this ahead of time and refrigerate it up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, uncover and bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through. I add chicken or turkey and cook this all the time for a quick supper!
Ingredients
3/4 cup MIRACLE WHIP Dressing1/2 cup milk
1 pkg. (6 oz.) Stove Top Stuffing Mix (I use chicken)
1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen broccoli florets, thawed and drained
1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
You can also add 2 cups chopped turkey or chicken (this would be a great recipe for leftover Thanksgiving turkey too!)
How To Make Vegetable & Stuffing

Heat oven to 350ºF.
1) Mix dressing and milk in large bowl until blended.
2) Add remaining ingredients; mix lightly.
3) Spoon into 8-inch square baking dish.
BAKE 20 to 25 min. or until heated through. If you're adding chicken or turkey bake 30 to 35 minutes.
