Cheese Grits:
This recipe is from the blog of my friend Judy at The Southern Lady Cooks.  You can also find her on facebook.  But once again I have taken her recipe and "Tweaked and made it my own" .

 Southerners love grits!  We like them any way you fix them. Southerners can eat grits three meals a day! 

 1 1/2 cups uncooked instant grits or regular grits

1 stick butter or margarine
12 oz. Velveeta cheese  "Tweak" - Can use shredded Velveeta crumbles or slices of American  (Can use cheddar but it will be a little more greasy and stringy)
1 tablespoon garlic powder (can use less if you are not a fan of garlic) "Tweak" I add granulated garlic or real garlic.  I DO NOT like garlic powder.

'Tweak"  I add a little minced onion  Love onion in my grits
3 eggs
1 cup milk
small cheese crackers  "Tweak" - I top with crushed Ritz (don't like cheese crackers)

Cook 1 1/2 cups instant or regular grits according to package directions. Remove from stove, add one stick butter or margarine and the garlic powder. Cut cheese into chunks and add to grits. Beat 3 eggs and 1 cup milk together and add to grits and cheese. Spray casserole dish and add mixture. Top with crushed cheese crackers. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until knife comes out clean when inserted.          

 Dole's Cranberry - Pineapple Minis

1 can (20 oz) Crushed Pineapple in juice

2 pkg (3 oz ) Jell-o Raspberry Flavor Gelatin

1 cups water

1 can (16 oz) whole berry cranberry sauce

2/3 cup chopped walnut (optional)

1 apple chopped  (I like granny smith or honey crispy or pink lady)

*

Drain pineapple well, reserving juice.  Every time, I got one cup of remaining pineapple juice.  To this add 1 cups water to equal out to 2 cups of liquid.  Pour into saucepan.  Bring to boil. 

Place gelatin into a large bowl. Pour boiling liquid over gelatin.  Stir 2 mins until completely dissolved.

Stir in pineapple, cranberry sauce, walnuts and apple.  Spoon into 24 paper-lined muffin cups or 16-18 individual disposable containers.  Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight until firm.  Remove liners.

*  I have also used two cans of cranberry sauce to this recipe and I have added a cup of applesauce to the recipe.... Both are very good.
