At Thanksgiving, I love to cook! I am so thankful for what I’ve learned from my Mother and Grandmother Nichols when it comes to cooking for a family! Along the way, I’ve collected many recipes like the Taffy Apple Salad Recipe I’m sharing today. I’ve been using this recipe since 2003 and have modified it to reduce the sugar and salt content. Enjoy!
