...it sounds like you're getting some good suggestions. Penny's recipe for the Broccoli Salad is the one I'm familiar with, and it is delish! For quick and delicious Cheesy Potatoes, we make "twice baked" potatoes using instant potatoes (use all milk), grated cheddar, chopped green onions, & crumbled bacon, salt & pepper to taste. You can make it as cheesy as you want! It's super easy, and warms up easily. Good luck with your meal for the retreat! And, have fun!!

Hello, Penny- Someone had brought in a cauliflower salad a few years ago to our bowling potluck and it was sooo YUMMY! I think you might be very very close. Thank you! Granny- Thanks for the sites- i'm gonna check them out tonite. I never thought about nana puddin'. I make a huge thing of it every year for our Christmas Eve party. Soo easy and everyone LOVES it. I have already put it on my menu. I haven't had too much free time lately. I still check in but it's always after I get the kids to bed and between laundry and.... +++ My 2 youngest sisters had their babies this past week. 1 boy and 1 girl!! Dizzy - Those both sound yummy!! maybe i'll make the applesauce bread for a brunch kinda snack and the cheery/choc for an evening dessert. Thank you! These girls will be sooo spoiled by the homecookin' that they won't want to go home. LOL We're never ready to go home after spending the wkend with no husbands, no kids, no responsibilities, oh and of course we never wanna stop scrapbookin'. LOl Take care all and thanks again, Becki

Hey Becki, here's one of my favs - it's great as coffee cake, dessert or just as a snack http://www.gardenhere.com/content/Apple-Sauce-Cake .. or if you're looking for something different and decadent - http://www.gardenhere.com/content/chocolate-covered-cherry-cake

Mix caulfilower, broccoli, cheese, bacon bits, red onion, raisins and low fat mayo together and it makes a wonderful salad.

good to see you online. I couldn't sleep so I got up and started posting. I use Allrecipes.com when I am looking for something I don't have. Recipezaar.com is a good place also. I hope that help you. You could make a large banana pudding in the turkey sized foil pan if you will have refrigeration at the retreat.
