Ever since I was tall enough to reach the stove, I've enjoyed cooking. This recipe's one of my favorites—it's so simple, I can make it the night before, throw on the topping at the last minute and take it to a picnic or family gathering. Both my husband and I have lived on farms all of our lives. We grow corn, soybeans and wheat. Our three sons are grown, and we're now the grandparents of six. I've had a job in town since back surgery took me off the tractor. In addition to cooking, I love working in my flower garden—and I'm a big fan of stock car racing, too! Ingredients:
salad: |
2 cups diced unpeeled red apples |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |

1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1-1/2 cups chopped celery |
frosting: |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup salad dressing |
lettuce leaves |
sliced apples and grapes for garnish |
