for a Christmas open house at school

I made this recipe with my special needs class for a Christmas open house at school. Ever since then, I’ve loved this. It goes well with ham. It is also a nice salad to share with others at a party.

great to serve at Easter

Cornbread Salad with a spiral ham would be great to serve at Easter. In Security Breach, the story starts with the White House Easter Egg Roll, a huge event that occurs at the White House for years. Thousands of volunteers and children and their families attend each year from all over. The president and his wife attend along with many celebrities. The White House is open to them, and activities are set up around the inside and outside of the White House. In Security Breach the Egg Roll isn’t uneventful.”–Margaret

When White House tour director Selena Barrow is attacked in her office, the Capitol K-9 Unit goes on high alert. Selena’s cousin is a person of interest in a congressman’s shooting, and Selena has been collecting evidence to exonerate her. Could this be the break they’re looking for? Officer Nicholas Cole and his dog, Max, step in to safeguard Selena—and to keep an eye on the evidence. As the attacks escalate, Selena finds it increasingly difficult to keep her distance from her handsome protector. But with an unknown enemy watching Selena’s every move, Nicholas will become her confidant…and her lifeline.
