The sun is finally shining today! Since it feels just a bit more like spring, we’re thinking sharing delightful lunches outdoors with friends and family. Of course, we’d love to have you join us for a meal or a sweet treat on the veranda.

Warmer weather also means that outdoor gatherings will begin soon. With that in mind, I share a delicious potluck dish that everyone will enjoy. You can find this and many more wonderful recipes in our cookbook Luncheon Favorites.

Mandarin Orange Jello Salad

12 oz. Cool Whip

3 oz. Orange Jello

16 oz. crushed pineapple, well drained

12 oz. cottage cheese

11 oz. can drained mandarin oranges

1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Mix powdered jello into Cool Whip. Add remaining ingredients and chill until set. 

Enjoy in the warming weather, surrounded by those you love. And remember that Dreams Really Do Come True! 

All My Love,

~Mary
