Christmas Jello

On the cover of my recipe book I made (more on that later), is a picture of my rainbow jello. When E. looked at my cook book, he immediately said rainbow jello was his favorite recipe and that I had to make it again.

We decided to make this Christmas version together. I used my rainbow jello recipe here and cut the milk mixture by half and only used a 9x13 inch pan. I used three flavors (what just so happened to be in the pantry), strawberry, lime and cherry.

This Christmas version was a hit as everyone's favorite flavor in my house is strawberry.

This will definitely make it on our Christmas cooking list next year.

Merry Christmas!

Red, White, and Blue Jello Squares

Are you ready for the fourth of July? Okay, I know it is a bit early to start baking and bar-b-queing away, but I needed some excuse to make this jello recipe again (just half the condensed milk portion). I decided to stick to the patriotic colors of red, white and blue. The verdict? A success. The flavor combination of strawberry, blue raspberry and the condensed milk center was delish if I do say so myself.

I decided to make slices as well.

I contemplated making a bunch of red and white stripes like the American flag, but decided on this instead. I know it looks more like the flag of France than it does the U.S., but they are still tasty none-the-less. What kinds of foods do you like to eat on the Fourth of July?
