After my mother passed away, I inherited her little file box of recipes. I am sharing them here for all her descendants and anyone else who might enjoy them. Most of them are quite outdated as we have access to a greater variety of ingredients now, we eat healthier and we have internet to help us! If you do use one of the recipes, I would love to have a comment on what you think of it.

Refrigerator Salad

Momma got this recipe from Jane Adair when we lived in Big Spring, Texas in the early '60's. From then on we had it at every Thanksgiving and Christmas meal I can remember. Then I served it to my children on those holidays. It is easy, festive and is made ahead of time. This is always a winner with children! (I am not sure all of these ingredients are still available in the recommended sizes. You may have to adjust them.)

  • 1 - 11 oz can for manadarin oranges, drained
  • 1 - 13.5 oz can pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1 - 3.5 oz can flaked coconut
  • 1 cup minature marshmallows
  • 1 cup sour cream

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate 12 to 24 hours before serving.
