We really missed our kids who were working in Sudan that Christmas, so that motivated the unusual ingredients. : )Carrie Turanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866179102754248664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-60454064759801007762011-12-16T17:25:09.630-05:002011-12-16T17:25:09.630-05:00Hey, Andrea!

I confess, I still love the bacon and mayo in the original, but this one sounds good too. <br /><br />On the Southern Sudan flag, is the purple stripe a pepper too, or is it something else? I've had purple peppers, but they were from a friend's garden, and I've never seen them in a store.<br /><br />And is that blue sugar sprinkles? <br /><br />They're all so pretty.Andrea Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561504163570350209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-20124359195963431262011-12-16T12:57:23.403-05:002011-12-16T12:57:23.403-05:00Oh, I forgot to say...it is a little sad to tear i...Oh, I forgot to say...it is a little sad to tear into this salad and destroy the design, so that's why we take a photo each time.

Dinner and a movie.<br /><br />Oh, y'all, the movie New Year's Eve was sooooo good!!! Of course I cried a few times. :) And it had even gotten bad reviews. I never believe those reviews!Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-3637010488842518062011-12-16T10:35:02.278-05:002011-12-16T10:35:02.278-05:00Hi Carrie!

I had given up on the traditional seven layer salad for the same reasons Missy had - the dressings are always so heavy that they overwhelm the salad. But your dressing sounds light and creamy! The yogurt should make a huge difference.<br /><br />Missy, after yesterday you still haven't made fudge? I think you'll have to make this salad and fudge for Christmas and surprise your family!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-29542009613545437512011-12-16T09:52:58.712-05:002011-12-16T09:52:58.712-05:00Ruthy, I'm with you.

I guess if you knew what was inside, you'd have no problem.<br /><br />Seven layer salad is something I've always loved but never made (like fudge!). This one is a little different inside from what I've had before. The ones we have at church potlucks have a layer of bacon and layers of sour cream. This one seems healthier. Can't wait to try it!Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-91274273384727109542011-12-16T07:50:43.541-05:002011-12-16T07:50:43.541-05:00Hi Friends, so glad to share this fun recipe with ...Hi Friends, so glad to share this fun recipe with you all. We enjoy making it every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I take turns with my daughters as the decorator of the top. They are artistic and creative, so we have had some fun designs through the years. The fact that you can make it a couple days ahead is a great time-saver. I hope you will give it a try and let us know how you like it. <br />Blessings and Merry Christmas to all!<br />CarrieCarrie Turanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866179102754248664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-53494664778551260812011-12-16T07:25:00.364-05:002011-12-16T07:25:00.364-05:00Oh, Carrie, that's too pretty to eat.

Hey, girl, thank you so much for comin' on down to the cafe and hangin' with us. Do you LOVE Missy's Christmas decorations? She took a page out of Arnell's Steel Magnolia Christmas and that wreath of Baby Jesus's well... A classic, for sure! ;)<br /><br />I have to make this for something because the look, taste and whole package is table-worthy. And I love the different 'topping' looks!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.com
