You know I don't have much in the way of culinary skills, but serving Pillsbury crescent rolls is always a hit!
Oh, well, I was gonna say the family secrets thing, but you took that, so...I've got nothin'.
Cranberry Sauce
2.25 c cranberry juice cocktail
1 box orange or cranberry Jello
3/4 c orange soda
16 oz can whole cranberry sauce
2 tbs orange zest
.5 c chopped pecans

Boil the cranberry juice. Move it to a bowl & pour in jello powder. Stir 'til dissolved. Stir in orange soda pop. Chill 1.5 hours then stir in remaining ingredients. Leave in current bowl or divide among 8-12 molds. Chill for 4 hours before eating.
I still make it even though I'm allergic to fruit.
