2 cups sliced red grapes
2 cups sliced green grapes
4 cups apple with skins cut into bite sized pieces
1 large can cashews
2 cans pineapple tidbits (save juice)
4 cups chopped celery
4 cups chopped green onions

Soak apples in pineapple juice to
Dressing is 1 bottle of Kraft Coleslaw dressing mixed with one cup mayonaise.
I like it best chilled a few hours, and I don't add the cashews until just before
serving. Makes a TON... so great for a HUGE crowd or when you need to share with a
few neighbors.

Chocolate Bavarian Cake
1 German Chocolate Cake Mix divided into four 9" pans (or 2 nine inch pans and cut in half) for 4 layers.

FILLING and FROSTING:
1 pkg of cream cheese
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Mix whipping cream until stiff, add brown sugar, vanilla and cream cheese until smooth. Frost layers as usual and chill overnight.

BANANA SLUSH
2 cups sugar
3 cups water

Pour into 9 X 13 pan and freeze.
