Cranberry Cheese Squares

This is my mom's way of having cranberries on the table at Thanksgiving. It is really, really yummy!!!

2-3oz. pkg. cream cheese
2 tblsp. mayonaise
2 tblsp. sugar
1-1 lb. can whole cranberry sauce
1-9 oz. can crushed pineapple
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Blend cheese, mayo, and sugar. Whip cream until stiff and add powdered sugar and vanilla. Add fruit and nuts. Fold in whipped cream to which powdered sugar and vanilla have been added. Pour into large pan and freeze for at least 6 hours. My mom uses a bread pan and it's easy to cut off slices. LOVE IT!!!

Chicken Pasta Salad by Paula B

1 bunch green onions
1/2 stalk celery
1 can sliced water chesnuts (I don't like these so I leave them out but if you like them knock yourself out!)
2 cups boiled cubed chicken
1/2 to 1 cup cashews
1 big bottle Kraft Coleslaw Salad Dressing
1 med. or lg. bag noodles of any kind. Paula used mini lasagna noodles but I never can find them. You can use extra wide noodles or bow ties just whatever you find.

Mix all together and chill it. I LOVE this recipe!!! It is so delicious!! Have an extra serving for me if you make it because I don't make it any more because of Matthew's SEVERE allergy to cashews. I miss it!!! Enjoy!!!
