  Awsome mashed potatoes...my boy's favorites!

  Boil about 10 baking potatoes and peel... Some skins can be left on. In the Mix Master put in 1/4 cup butter, 3/4 cup "maries blue cheese dressing", about 1/2 cup parmesaen cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream and just enough milk to process... then add potatoes and process. Add salt and pepper to taste and adjust texture by adding more milk. Add a nice slab of butter to the top and sprinkle with paprika. Keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.

  Lettuce and Pea salad, a killer to be made the day before you serve it.

  In a large clear glass serving bowl layer as follows.

  1 Head iceburg lettuce chopped

  1 head cauliflower chopped into bite size pieces.

  1 onion diced

  1 pkg. 10 oz frozen peas

  sprinkle 2 packages dry mix "hidden valley ranch over the top. Seal with enough mayonaise to cover all (NOT Miraclewhip)

  Cover and chill overnight. Toss about 1/2 hour before serving.

  You can add some crisped cooked bacon to all just before tossing that adds a great touch.

  You will not be disappointed!

  Restrangled, those recipes are all over the TOP!!! That dressing recipe sounds especially yummy!

  Tigerman, I wish I were fixing a feast this year, but it'll probably be a quiet one with Crabby Pants and me.

  Frannie . . . what, no feast ? Okay, you're forgiven this time. But next year we'll be knocking on your door, so, you've got a full year to cook.

  We had the TNT chicken tonite for dinner. It was SO yummy that we are having it again tomorrow! (Am considering it for crowd food) For future ref-does the sour cream go in at the first or the last on the stovetop version? Recipe said to add it 2x. Which I didn't notice till later, when I thought I should have added it. It tasted great, so I am not worried about it:) I had to tweak it a little since I didn't have exact things, but dried onions and beef boullion, and store tomatoes and chiles were great. My DD wants me to add olives to it-because it wasn't decadent enough with the sour cream. YUM. Thanks for the recipe.

  Thanks, Tigerman. Meanwhile, with all the great recipes I'm "bogarding" here on this thread, it should be a good one next year! LOL!

  LOL, Unc! Very clever recipe.....but.....CP got that name because of his disposition....heheh I see you covered all that sourness in the recipe, though. LOL!

  JWdaughter, you can add the sour cream either at the beginning or at the end, doesn't matter. Adding ripe olives was something I was considering myself...heheh

  Will post another Tex-Mex and a cookie bar recipe next.
