Growing up, my family's schedule seemed to revolve around mealtime. I have to attribute my love for home cooked food to my mother. She didn't believe in cereal and made us breakfast every morning. I think that deserves some kind of award. Pancakes were my favorite breakfast growing up and my mom made hers from scratch. To be honest, I didn't know you could buy pancake mix at the store until I went to college. I don't claim to be a fabulous cook. I just wanted a place to keep and share all the recipes I love.
My family all came together in the evenings to eat dinner. It was at this time that relationships were built and strengthened. I believe that family dinner is an important tool for cultivating love and strengthening the family. This is why I cook. This is why I share.

Layered Jello

A Christmas tradition (we do red and green Jello).
  • 6 small boxes of Jello
  • 1 large container cool whip (room temperature)
  1. Prepare one layer at a time.
  2. Prepare Jello according to package, exclude letting the Jello set.
  3. 1st layer: 1 cup and 2 Tbsp. Jello (Pour into bottom of 9 X 13- inch pan). Let layer set in fridge 30-45 minutes.
  4. 2nd layer: the rest of the prepared Jello and 1/2 cup cool whip. (Pour on top of previously set layer) Let layer set in fridge 30-45 minutes.
  5. Continue until you get to the last layer. For the last layer, add 1 cup Jello and 1 cup cool whip. Let set in fridge for 30-45 minutes.
