Here’s a question that might spark a huge debate-
Jello: Yes or No?!
For us (living in Utah- the Jello capital of the world), Jello is a definite yes!! We don’t even eat it as a dessert- it’s more of a side dish for us!
Now, it’s not something that we eat everyday, but more for special occasions/potluck dinners/Sunday dinners.
And it’s seriously one of my favorite foods. 🙂
While I know that many of you despise Jello, I also know that there are many of you who love it as much as I do! Our Orange Jello Fluff went viral after we posted it in 2011 and many of you commented that your mom or grandma used to make it when you were growing up . . . it’s a recipe that has stood the taste of time!
Here’s a yummy salad that came together after some experimenting with strawberries and cream cheese. It really would be the perfect dessert after a yummy dinner with family and friends.
