This is my favorite, handed down from my grandmother to my mother and to me. Great for anytime snacking as well.

Omitted the marshmallows (not a fan). Also made this in other combos (strawberry jello with strawberries and/or bananas lime jello with pineapple peach jello with peaches whatever we are in the mood that day. Serve it in a pretty crystal bowl and voila! Also a fun recipe to make with my little granddaughter. So easy! What I really like it that it is light and a bit acidic to balance against the traditional turkey etc. on T-Day. Read More

I thought this was a secret family recipe!;0) This is known as Michael's Favorite Salad in my family after my oldest brother. We didn't put marshmallows in it though. I like to use pineapple tidbits and my version is to add fruit cocktail along with the Mandarin oranges. Read More

Old family favorite from the 50's. Always a hit & goes well with any kind of meat. I leave out the marshmallows just so it is not too sweet. Also use sugar free gelatin. Really doesn't change the flavor. Your family & guests will love it! Read More

When a local restaurant dropped a dish like this I came to allrecipes. This fit the bill for "Orange fluff." My jello actually seemed a little stronger and sweeter than I wanted so I added a bit more cottage cheese. No marshmallows this time. It was light simple and delicious. Thank you. Read More
