I first enjoyed this salad at a church potluck and has since become a Thanksgiving tradition at my house. I've made some adjustments to the original recipe to please my vegetarian friends, but you can add cooked chicken. For a complete meal, add 3 cooked and shredded chicken breasts to salad mix.-Cheryl Peterman, Prescott, Arizona

BAKED CORNUCOPIA



Baked Cornucopia image

After admiring a crafty cornucopia at a local store, Jacquelyn decided to cook up her own...one with a slightly different flavor. Instead of creating it from fabric or weaving one with reeds, this handcrafter turned to her kitchen for supplies-in the form of frozen bread dough and a disposable pizza pan she had handy-and wound up making a "knead" new horn of plenty for her family's harvest celebrations. "I often use mine to serve food such as rolls, vegetables or chunks of cheese and sausage when we have get-togethers," Jacquelyn describes. "It looks equally festive stuffed with non-edibles like gourds, greens and nuts." Ready to roll out your cornucopia? Good! Just follow Jacquelyn's easy instructions here to season your table with harvest time crafting fun.
