heavenly hash

If you're looking for a quick and easy take-along for your next potluck, this is it! A sweet and bright southern salad (or dessert permitted at dinner!) handed down from my great grandmother to my grandma. This side is similar to Ambrosia Salad and pairs beautifully with ham or turkey.

My hope is that this will be the first recipe that you add to your heirloom Recipe Keepsake Box, and that you'll make it a part of your own Christmas traditions.

Faux greenery is the easiest, most inexpensive way to transition to new seasons. Pastel florals in the spring, bright blossoms in the summer, pampas grass in the fall, and evergreens in the winter. This season, we are pleased to offer not one, but two sprigs for decorating. Use these around vignettes, peeking out from behind candlesticks, under cake stands, and so on. You’ll love the �real feel' branches.

These look-alike stems instantly add a festive touch and are easy to use year after year.
