We are having a late Thanksgiving/ early Xmas potluck today and it's marvelous! I say screw eating well today and bring on the carbs }:)

I made my aunt's cherry jello salad and it's a hit. Here's the recipe:

1 can cherry pie filling
(2) small or (1) large cherry jello boxes
1 small can drained crushed pineapple (I sometimes use a large can)
1 small small curd cottage cheese (sometimes use a larger container)
1 cup chopped nuts, usually walnuts
1 cup coconut

Mix pie filling and jello in bowl. Add remaining ingredients to taste. Whip about 1 pint whipping cream and fold into mix. Voila! You can adjust quantities as you like within reason.
