Peanut Apple Salad

From the kitchen of Sister Auman

Peanut Apple Salad (Different and good!)

Found in Simply in Season Mary Beth Lind, herald press, 2005 but changed slightly

8 apples; chopped

½ c celery diced*

½ c raisins

½ c peanuts, pecans, or walnut; loosely chopped

¼ cup shredded coconut*

Combine in large bowl; set aside

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup milk

¼ cup sugar

Combine and pour over salad

*These ingredients are sort of optional. It is still yummy without them but I highly recommend them

This is one of my favorite fall/winter side dishes.

Lemonade Pie

From the kitchen of Sister Norton

Amidst the snow and cold of winter here is a recipe to make you dream about summer!

Lemonade Pie

2 pkg graham crackers crushed

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup melted margarine

Mix together and pat 1/2 mixture in bottom of 9 x 13 inch pan

1 carton vanilla ice cream

6 oz can frozen pink lemonade, thawed

Soften ice cream and add pink lemonade. Stir until blended. Pour over graham cracker crust. Top with remaining graham cracker mixture. Put in freezer for several hours or overnight to set up.

Tip: - don't use the full can of pink lemonade - leave about 1/5th in the can. Make sure the ice cream and lemonade are thawed enough.

This is my favorite summer desert and never disappoints!
