This recipe was provided by Basilgirl. It 's a very easy, hearty and quick recipe-- perfect for the fall and winter. Basilgirl said, "I like to top this with shredded cheddar cheese. It's great serve with corn bread on the side.

I have substituted the bacon with ground beef or sausage which is also yummy! This recipe is great to play around with. I like to add more 'heat' to it (red pepper flakes and chili powder). And the recipe is also great without the corn if you don't have any on hand.

If anyone tries this, please let me know if you liked it. Enjoy!

I posted this back in the summer of 2014:

Here's one I made for our friends' BBQ, and everyone loved it!

You could easily make a smaller salad...it's very forgiving, so if you just used one box of Jell-O and one carton of Cool Whip, it would probably still be awesome!

(I used the Strawberry/Banana Jell-O, since that's what I had and pineapple juice that was drained from pineapple in place of part of the water.)

1 small box strawberry Jell-O
1 large pkg. (8 oz) Philadelphia cream cheese
1 small pkg. (10 oz)frozen strawberries, thawed
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup nuts (I used walnuts, chopped)
2 (8 oz.) containers Cool Whip

Take 1 large and 1 small box of Jell-O and dissolve in 3 cups of boiling water. Set until jells.

Mix 1 large package Philadelphia cream cheese, 1 small package frozen strawberries (thawed), 1 can crushed pineapple (drained) and 1 cup nuts.

Mix with 2 (8 ounce) containers Cool Whip. Mix altogether and let set in the refrigerator.

I'm a true chocoholic, but THESE are one of my favorites! A co-worker at school gave me this recipe in 2011. They're very easy and look so festive cut in to triangles, I think. (I live in Almond country, but sliced almonds are reasonable at Trader Joe's....last time I got them there.)

Blue Diamond Almond Bars

Crust:

2 cups flour                          

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup butter, softened              

Topping:

1 cup brown sugar                                          

¼ cup sugar

1/3 cup honey

1 cup butter                   

¼ cup heavy cream

3 cups sliced almonds

Heat oven to 375 degrees. 

In medium bowl, combine crust ingredients until soft and crumbly.

Press mixture into 15-inch x 10-inch jelly roll pan. 

Bake until golden, about 10 minutes.  Set aside.

In saucepan combine brown sugar, sugar, honey and butter.

Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. 

Bring to a boil without stirring; boil 3 minutes.

Remove from heat; stir in cream and almonds.  Spread over crust.

Bake until bubbly, about 15 minutes.  Cool.

Cut into diamonds, triangles or bars.

ENJOY!!
