On the Eighth Day of Christmas...
A freebie and a sneak peek
We all have that one recipe, right? The one that your family does every year, but when you go to other places, it's not there? My good friend makes chorizo stuffing. My family has what we call an orange salad. My grandma made it. My mom makes it. I sometimes make it but mostly still let my mom do it so I can feel like a kid again. It is a holiday tradition. You will only find it on our table for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I remember one year we forgot to make it. My mom thought I was making it, and I thought she was making it, and then there we were, standing around the table with no orange salad. I'm truly not sure how we made it through.
Since no holiday table is complete without this wonderful recipe, I thought I would share it with you:
Orange Salad
1 container of Cool Whip (8oz)
1 package orange gelatin (can be sugar-free or regular) (.3oz)
1 container cottage cheese (8 oz or 24 oz)
1 can mandarin oranges (drained) (15oz)
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Refrigerate. This recipe is easily doubled.

Coming up in CPQ
Earlier this year Mariah was reading Norms and Nobility, and we had quite a few behind-the-scenes conversations that went something like this: “Guys. Listen to this. Doesn’t this sound like Charlotte Mason’s educational philosophy?” Later in the year, Cara was reading On Reading Well, and we found ourselves back in that “this sounds so familiar, it’s like what Miss Mason said” place. We wondered about all of these ideas in education that seem to weave from the ancients to the modern day and pass through Miss Mason. The science of relations has done its work, and we thought this would make an excellent 4-part series for Year 6 of the magazine.
And who could write something like this? There was only one person in our minds: Karen Glass. A couple of emails later, we are thrilled to have her on board to contribute to the “educate” section of Common Place Quarterly for the year.
