(note : for our British visitors, we’re pretty sure “Jello” is just the same as our standard Jelly, which can be purchased in solid cubic form from any good supermarket!)

Everything goes better with Jello.

I think I remember an advertising slogan that said something like that. And our favorite gelatin really does go well with all kinds of dishes. Jello has got to be one of the most versatile foods ever invented.

It’s that time of year again when we all get together and share good conversation, merriment, and great food. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for an eggnog milkshake.

This recipe is delicious and an alternative to traditional eggnog. To cut down on the calories you can use skimmed milk or low fat milk and low fat ice cream.

I love strawberries!

What child doesn’t grow up with Dr. Seuss books? We have quite a few of them lying around the house. The kids love the silly characters and the rhymes. The Dr. Seuss inspired recipes that I’m about to share with you have been a great hit in my house.

Of course the famous green eggs and ham are included, but there are also quite a few other snack and meal ideas. Create a fun Dr. Seuss inspired afternoon with some of these recipes and of course don’t forget to read a few of the books with your kids. (If you don’t own any, enjoy a trip to your local library.)

Home-made macaroni

To four cupfuls of flour, add one egg well beaten, and enough water to make a dough that can be rolled. Roll thin on a breadboard and cut into strips. Dry in the sun. The best arrangement for this purpose is a wooden frame to which a square of cheese-cloth has been tightly tacked, upon which the macaroni may be laid in such a way as not to touch, and afterwards covered with a cheese-cloth to keep off the dust during the drying.

Boiled macaroni

Put a larg cup of macaroni into boiling water and cook until tender. When done, drained thoroughly, then add a pint of milk, part cream if it can be afforded, a little salt and one well-beaten egg; stir over the fire until it thickens, and serve hot.
