Only on Thursdays

Jessica is a most vivacious child. She is full of energy, giggles and life. The other day I was cooking in the kitchen. She likes to be in there with me and usually on top of the counter. I am constantly telling sit on a chair not the counter. She moved off the counter on to a chair, back on the counter and all around, only as she does. Trying to be sweet and patient I asked, "Jessica do you ever settle down?". Her reply, " Yes, on Thursdays."

Jeweled Jello


This is a fun Jello recipe I found on another blog site (Gourmet mom on the go). We made it to take to our Super Bowl party tonight.

Here is the recipe:

Jeweled Jell-o
Ingredients:
4 small boxes of jello, different colors
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
water

Directions:
Dissolve each box of jello separately, into one cup of hot water. Pour into individual containers (small tupperware works well) and chill overnight.
Ready a 9×13 pan.
Cut flavors of jello into small blocks.
Mix together carefully in pan.
In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Add dissolved gelatin to 1 3/4 cup hot water and condensed milk. Cool.
Pour cooled milk mixture over jello and chill overnight. Cut into 1" pieces and serve. This is a fun dish to serve at a party. You can color theme it for a holiday or a party. Have fun.
