Mom's Pineapple Orange Salad

What's Cooking Wednesday?
For even more cool recipes, hop on over to Shan's blog...

This salad is super easy and though I've never made it yet... my mom has many times!
It is come to be expected at holidays. Although, frankly, I consider it more dessert than a main course meal!




Ingredients:

1 pkg pineapple flavoured jello
1 c boiling water
2 c whipping cream
1 small tin of mandarin oranges
1 can crushed pineapple

Dissolve jello in boiling water.
Beat with a hand held or stand mixer until fluffy and thickened.
Drain fruits and add to jello. (reserve a few mandarin slices for the top if you wish)
Whip cream and fold into jello and fruit.
Let set in fridge over night.
Just before serving, add reserved mandarin oranges.

Welcome to my new blog!

Welcome to my new blog!

Did I need a new blog? Well, not really.

But, I did need a few things:

Somewhere to keep recipes that could be easily accessed. So often I make something, don't write the recipe down and wish I did months later.

Somewhere to keep recipes that have pictures. I find it much more appealing to browse through my recipe collection wondering what to make when pictures are attached. They bring everything to life.

Somewhere that my recipes could be easily organized into categories.

Hence, a new blog was born. Welcome to my cookbook, I hope some of my favourite recipes will become your favourites!
