Is there a certain food or cookie that brings up memories of Christmas past? A visit to Grandma's house? A favorite cookie that Mom made at Christmas time only? It may be something that you didn't even like but it still brings a fond memory. One that makes you feel like you have 'come home' when you see it.
For me it is 'Ribbon Salad'. My Mom made it every Christmas from the time I was a child until decades into adulthood. I didn't like it and neither did my sisters (it is a red and a green jello square with a mayonaise middle, thus very festive in color, served on a bed of iceburg lettuce) but it was served every Christmas Eve and with Mom passing away two years ago I wish I had some of her Ribbon Salad this Christmas.
I have a recipe that I started making as a young adult, kept making it as I got older and continued making it every year for my niece. It didn't seem like my Christmas baking was complete until I made them and my niece couldn't wait for me to show up with them. Cereal Wreaths!
I have seen them made with Cheerios but yeck.....they just have to be made with Cornflakes. :) Basic easy recipe, a little time consuming on forming them, but oh how festive on your plate come the holidays.
RECIPE:
Ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup butter
- 1 (10 ounce) packageregular marshmallows or 4 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon green food coloring
- 6 cups corn flakes
- red cinnamon candies
Directions
If you haven't tried these give them a go. I highly recommend them.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. May it be a blessed and special time. What is your favorite "Home for the Holidays" recipe?
