The kids and their spouse or significant other and the grands are coming for Christmas Eve dinner tomorrow afternoon. Who's the most excited? The grands? The kids? The spouse or significant other? Nope! ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get so excited when we are all together!!! We are having Chicken Crescents, corn, lima beans, cherry salad, gluten free sausage balls, and a chocolate trifle. And maybe some chocolate chips cookies! Then after we eat, we get our stockings and OPEN PRESENTS!!!!! I can't wait to see if everybody likes what they get this year. We have a big mess of paper to clean up and new things to play with. SO. MUCH. FUN!!!! My favorite part is the stockings. I don't know why. Maybe it's because everybody gets excited over little things as much as the big.
So what recipe am I sharing? The Cherry Salad! If you use gluten free marshmallows, you can include this in the gluten free category. Notice the size of the bowl because it makes A LOT!
