Good Ol' American Cookin'

When I first heard about this, I was very curious! Pink Stuff, huh? Then when I saw how simple and delicious it was....I wanted to make it all the time!! 1- regular size tub of Cool Whip 1-large tub of cottage cheese (4% works best) 1-regular box of jello gelatin(your choice of color & sweetness)*I use sugar-free* Just the powder do not make it into Jiggly Jello!!!! 1-can of peaches 1-can of pears optional to add nuts into colored stuff Mix altogether Let sit in the fridge for about 30 mins to set! Yummy Yummy! Taste's so good the kids have no idea they are eating cottage cheese!! Let me know what you think!! ;)

Recipe:   I mix together in a large bowl. 1 Cup of Water 1/4 C Corn Oil 3 ripe bananas, broken up in bite size pieces 4 eggs 1/4 C White Sugar 1/4 C Brown Sugar 1 Cup of Pecans (optional) 3 Cups Flour 2 tsp Baking Soda 2 tsp Salt Mix together thoroughly! Pour into two bread pans..the pans should be filled about half way +/- Place in a 350* oven for 50-60 mins or until your knife comes out clean! I take out of the pans about 5 mins after they are pulled out of the oven and laid on cooling racks. Doesn't hurt to slice a piece while it is still warm! Enjoy!

My Broccoli Salad is not exactly like my mother in laws (my fav) but it comes a close second to it!  Recipe: 2 large heads of broccoli- cut into bite size pieces ( flowerettes only ) (some use cauliflower too) 1 large onion 1 cup of craisins 1 cup of raisins nuts are optional Dressing: 1 cup of mayo 1 cup of sour cream couple teaspoons of lemon juice 1/4 cup of sugar Mix everything together real good and let sit in fridge for at least 3 hrs before serving. Usually good to make the night before but hey some of us aren't that prepared.... . do the best you can it is still really good!!

WHIPPED JELLO SALAD   Raspberry jello, peaches and pecans In  Mtn Man's family this is a traditional dish served anytime of the year. They call it "Pink Stuff or Orange Stuff or Green Stuff" depending on what flavor of jello is used.  Recipe: 1 small box of jello-any flavor 1 small (8oz) cottage cheese 1 small (80z) cool whip Mix the jello powder in the cottage cheese then add the cool whip and mix. Simple!! Be sure to let cool in the fridge for about 30 mins until firm. Alternatives: Add chopped fruit or mixed fruit Add handful of nuts Add handful of coconuts Add maraschino cherries Spiced Crab-Apples on top-Thanks to my Auntie Reen
